Helium is hiring a Senior Paid Media Strategist to own strategy and execution for some of our most complex e-commerce accounts across paid search and paid social. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports - reporting to our Paid Media Team Lead.
What You'll Do
Own strategy and execution for a portfolio of ecommerce accounts, including complex, multi-line businesses (e.g., wholesale/B2B-style catalogs)
Run paid search as your core strength, with enough paid social depth to run it independently
Apply AI tools for bidding, optimization, and creative testing, and keep learning as they evolve
Lead client meetings as the strategic voice in the room — this isn't a background-execution role
Flag account risk early and partner with the Team Lead on QBRs
What You Bring
Deep, current e-commerce paid search expertise — this is the anchor requirement. Google Ads required, Microsoft Ads a plus
3+ years hands-on paid media experience — enough to have a real foundation in e-commerce search, not just general exposure
Genuine client-facing polish: confident, capable of running client meetings solo, comfortable being the expert in the room
Ability to learn fast and perform in front of clients immediately — this role doesn't have a long ramp before client exposure starts
Strong working paid social skills (Meta required)
AI fluency in bidding/optimization/creative testing is a strong plus; if you're not there yet, genuine eagerness and speed to learn is the minimum bar
Currently and actively hands-on in the platforms today — not someone who's moved into oversight and lost the day-to-day edge
What You Bring
3+ years hands-on paid media experience
Currently, actively hands-on in the platforms today, with a genuine want to stay that way even in a leadership seat
Agency experience strongly preferred
Confident and skilled in senior client-facing conversations
The perfect fit will embody our core values:
Extraordinary Service
Responsive Communication
Proactive Problem Solving
Under-promise and Over-deliver
Achieve the North Star
You recognize that personal and professional growth is a continuous process. You approach every task with dedication and intensity, always striving to be more efficient. You face challenges head-on, taking ownership, asking for help, and prioritizing the team's success.
