Join us! The GoFundMe team is searching for a Senior Paid Media Manager to drive global consumer growth through strategic, data-informed, and creative paid media execution.

You’ll be a player-coach who combines analytical rigor, creative experimentation, and global perspective to lead performance marketing across search, social, display, and emerging channels.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, balances strategic depth with executional excellence, and enjoys turning insights into scalable impact across multiple geographies.

The Job:

• Drive measurable business outcomes - growing new fundraiser starts, donors, and repeat engagement while maintaining strong ROI and efficiency targets and working closely with the organic teams.
• Lead cross-market campaigns, balancing global consistency with local relevance across North America, Europe, and emerging international markets.
• Champion experimentation and growth science, using A/B testing, geo-lift, and incrementality frameworks to uncover new opportunities and reduce reliance on last-click metrics.
• Collaborate with Product and CRM to create seamless user journeys that bridge acquisition, activation, and re-engagement.
• Partner with Data Science and Finance on forecasting, attribution modeling, and media mix optimization; translate insights into clear business recommendations.
• Build and manage relationships with media agencies and platform partners, ensuring operational excellence, innovation, and cost efficiency.
• Develop creative testing frameworks with Brand and Creative teams to identify high-performing messages and formats that drive emotional and behavioral response.
• Monitor, report, and communicate performance regularly to senior leadership — connecting campaign results to overall business impact.
• Ensure all campaigns meet privacy and compliance standards, including GDPR, CCPA, and internal governance policies.

You:

• 6–8 years of hands-on experience managing paid media campaigns in a fast-paced, high-growth B2C or mission-driven environment.
• Proven success leading multi-channel media portfolios across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and programmatic platforms.
• Strong analytical and strategic skills - able to connect channel performance to business outcomes and tell the story behind the numbers.
  Experience running campaigns across multiple markets with cultural and regulatory nuance.
• Deep understanding of creative testing, audience segmentation, and attribution.
• Flexible and resourceful - thrives in ambiguity, comfortable moving between strategic planning and in-platform optimization.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; strong ability to align diverse stakeholders around a shared vision.
  Passionate about experimentation and continuous improvement.
• Bonus: Experience in nonprofit, social impact, or community-focused brands.
