We also own the world’s largest streaming guide, giving us unmatched audience data and insight. With a team of more than 200 across Berlin, Los Angeles, and remote locations, we’re profitable, growing fast, and focused on performance.

Who we need
We’re looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented performance media buyer who thrives inside ad platforms. You love being hands-on on keys and can bend the platforms to achieve incredible efficiencies. You know how to pace campaigns, hit CPVs, win auctions, and optimise across Meta, TikTok, DV360, and YouTube.

You’ll collaborate across departments and time zones, own campaign execution from start to finish, and help improve our internal tools and workflows. You are not afraid of fast-moving targets and make decisions using data, including making your pivots and have familiarity with brand lift studies

At JustWatch, we value big thinkers and self-starters. Our fast-paced environment offers endless growth opportunities, with new projects and responsibilities arriving regularly. If you thrive on performance and progress, we guarantee the space and support to achieve your ambitions and personal goals.

What you will be doing

  • Set up, manage, and optimize paid media campaigns across platforms like Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and DV360
  • You manage both upper-funnel and lower-funnel campaign structures and constantly test creatives, audiences, placements, and bidding strategies
  • Monitor pacing, troubleshoot delivery, and hit KPIs like CPV, VTR, Completion Rates and CPM
  • Use internal and external tools to ensure flawless setup, tracking, QA, and invoicing
  • Collaborate with sales, BI, and creative teams, and top-tier entertainment clients
  • Analyze results and provide actionable insights to improve campaign efficiency and reach

    • What we need from you

  • 3+ years of hands-on media buying experience
  • Platforms: Meta, TikTok, Google Ads, and ideally DV360
  • Familiarity with Reddit and Snapchat is a strong plus
  • Reports to the Director of Media Campaigns and US Accounts
  • Strong command of auction mechanics, CPV targets, pacing, bidding, and platform optimisation
  • Analytical mindset with confidence in Excel, Google Sheets, and performance data tools
  • Proven ability to manage budgets across paid social and YouTube channels, including proposal development, campaign activation & maintenance, and post-buy recaps
  • Provide direction as needed for improving campaign performance through optimisation and/or implementing new features and strategies
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, fast-paced, cross-functional team
  • Familiarity with the entertainment industry (film, streaming, TV, or sports) is a strong plus
  • Proactive, curious, and focused on outcomes over perfection
  • We value people who learn constantly, deliver results, and create meaningful impact

    • When not to join

  • This is a hands-on execution role
  • If you haven’t personally launched and optimized campaigns inside Meta or DV360, it’s not the right fit
  • We live in data, love performance, and hire doers

    • What we offer you

  • An open-minded and international team that loves to collaborate to reach our goals.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • We believe in a permission-less environment that lets us focus on delivering value without overcomplicating things
  • We prioritize meaningful work over perks and believe that true fulfilment comes from intrinsic motivation, personal growth, and making a lasting impact
  • We trust our skilled professionals to maintain a no-nonsense attitude and create an environment that promotes innovation
  • We are committed to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals, and we offer a collaborative and supportive environment to do so
  • This opportunity is remote-first with travel to client meetings, with the primary office location in the Los Angeles area (Note: there may be weekly to monthly meetings in person, but aiming always to be remote first)
