Senior Native Affiliate Media Buyer

Looking for an Outbrain media buyer who understands the creative + offer game and has recently scaled affiliate offers to $5k to $100k per day in ad spend on Outbrain (NewsBreak or other native traffic is a plus).

You will fully own Outbrain as a channel and treat it like your own business.

We currently manage around $500k per month in ad spend on Meta and want Outbrain to become a serious profit center.

Mission for this role

Own Outbrain and 2–3 affiliate offers and scale campaigns from first test to $5k to $100k per day in profitable ad spend in the following niches: home services, insurance, refi, loans, and VSL style ecommerce offers.

What success looks like

First 30 days

• Pick 1–2 core affiliate offers on Outbrain and fully own them.
• Set up campaigns, tracking, and postbacks in ClickFlare.
• Clean up pixels, events, UTM structures, and naming across your Outbrain account.
• Build a simple weekly testing plan for headlines, thumbnails, angles, and creatives.

By 90 days

• Consistently manage $3k to $20k per day in ad spend on Outbrain while hitting or beating agreed KPIs (payout targets, ROAS, CPL).
• Have at least 2 winning offers live with stable spend and clear scaling plans.
• Ship a minimum of 30 ad variations per day across headlines, images, angles, and pre-sell ideas.
• Build a few winning presell pages or landers in GoHighLevel and keep them tested and updated.

By 12 months

• Own a portfolio of offers spending $30k to $100k per day on Outbrain at healthy margins.
• Have a repeatable testing and scaling system documented so another buyer could follow it.
• Be the internal "channel CEO" for Outbrain and mentor junior buyers as the team grows.

What you will do

• Handle all technical media buying on Outbrain: ClickFlare setup, pixels, postbacks, scaling, rules, bid strategies, and budget management.
• Drive creative testing with strong native images, and simple GoHighLevel landers or presells.
• Write strong ad copy that fits native environments and drives high EPC.
• Come up with new creative concepts, angles, and presell ideas for each offer.

Who you are

• In the last 12 months you have scaled at least one affiliate offer to $5k to $100k per day in spend on Outbrain or a similar native platform, with proof of results.
• You have owned budgets of at least $100k per month and treated that money like your own.
• You have experience in at least one of these niches: home services, insurance, loans/refi, or VSL style ecommerce.
• You are a proactive problem solver who does not wait for perfect information to act.
• You are comfortable talking in terms of CPL, EPC, margin, payout math, and cash flow.
• You can build basic landers, edit simple creatives, and handle the "unsexy" technical work without complaining.
• You care more about making more money than protecting strict life-work balance.
• You are ok jumping in on weekends when there is money to be made or saved.

You are aligned with our core values:

• Resourcefulness:
  You figure things out even with limited instructions or support.
• Perfectly acceptable over perfection:
  You ship a good version fast, then improve it. You focus on big needle movers first.
• Constructive disagreement:
  You challenge ideas directly and respectfully to get to the truth.
• Kind, not nice:
  You give honest feedback that helps the team win long term, even when it is uncomfortable in the moment.
• Growth mindset:
  You learn from misses, adjust quickly, and do not repeat the same mistake twice.
• Full ownership:
  You act like you own the P&L on your channel.

Offer

• Competitive base salary + 10% team pre-tax profit sharing. (If you own Outbrain 100%, you'll get 10% of pre-tax net profit bonus)
• Real upside to $100k-$300k+ per year for a true A player.
