  • **Paid Media Account Manager**
  • Who We Are (And Who We Aren’t)
  • Kandidly isn't just a Paid Media agency. We act as a true extension of our clients' teams - a growth partner dedicated to solving real business problems. We are a young startup of ambitious specialists, obsessed with the entire full-funnel ecosystem from the first impression to the final checkout.
  • We deploy sophisticated, full-funnel strategies across the channels that matter most - from Meta and Google to TikTok, YouTube, Programmatic, and Amazon. Our portfolio spans high-growth verticals including Ecommerce, Retail, FMCG, and Travel, where we act as a true business engine.
  • If you want to spend your day simply tweaking bids and reporting on channel-level ROAS, this is not the role for you. If you want to dive deep into both platform and business metrics to genuinely influence company growth, you will fit right in.
  • We are highly selective about our clients because we believe in nurturing strong, lasting relationships. The exact same standard applies to our team. Right now is the perfect time for an ambitious Account Manager to join us and shape where we go next.
  • Who are we looking for?
  • We are looking for a Paid Media expert with 2-3 years of hands-on experience and a strong grasp of both Paid Search and Paid Social campaign architecture. This role is ideal for a high-performing Account Executive ready for a definitive step up, or an established Account Manager looking for a fresh, autonomous challenge.
