Part-Time Junior Ad Ops Coordinator for a DTC brand (US-Based/Remote)

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

About the company

Our client makes CE Level 2 certified protective apparel for dirt bike, moto, mountain bike and snow riders: base layers, hoodies and jeans with armor built in. They run roughly 600 UGC videos and 1,000 static ads a month on Meta, produced by a team of creators, editors and AI creatives, with an outside media buyer who launches everything.

About the role

You keep the creative pipeline accurate. Every ad is QC’d and logged in the tracker perfectly, every creator and editor delivers on time, and every retainer count is exact.

You are the operations layer between the creative team, the media buyer and finance, so the Creative Strategist and CMO can spend their time on strategy instead of checking your work.

What you’ll own

Getting the tracker right is the core of the job.

Creatives tracker, daily

• Check every new row: ad set name matches the naming convention exactly, creator key spelled right, funnel stage filled, product code and asset link correct
• Catch mislabeled files, such as a TOF batch named BOF or a missing funnel tag, and get the editor to fix them. Never rename creator files yourself
• Group rows correctly: one row per product batch, with TOF and BOF cuts split into their own folders
• Match each row’s ad copy from the copy tab to its funnel stage, with no price in TOF copy
• Keep the tracker in sync with Meta once ads go live

QC and approve ads in the sheet

• Watch every video and static in full before approving
• Enforce the ad set build rules, which change often but are firm

Tracking people down

• Track every creator’s deliveries against their monthly quota and chase late or missing videos
• Chase editors, the static designer and AI creators on deadlines once briefs are out, and log what is late

Retainer counts

• Count each creator’s delivered videos against their quota by hand, using that creator’s count rule, whether per concept, per video or per variant

Who we’re looking for

• Extreme attention to detail. You are the last check before anything goes live. If a wrong name, a wrong color, a missing funnel tag or a miscounted video gets past you and someone else finds it, that is a miss. Your approval means it is right
• Smart. You pick things up fast, spot what is off, and do not need to be told twice
• Great with people. You work well with creators, editors and the team: friendly, clear, and you follow up without creating friction
• Happy to run a system, not redesign it. This role does not come with creative freedom. You follow the process precisely, and you make it better by being reliable
• Hungry to learn. The job will keep expanding with new tools and new tasks as the team scales, including uploading ads to Meta with AI. You are excited by that, not thrown by it
• Motivated. You take ownership, finish what you start, and care about getting it exactly right

If you want a lot of independence or creative freedom, or you are fine with “close enough”, this is not the right role.

Requirements

• Meta media buying experience, strongly preferred. You understand campaign and ad set structure, funnel stages, naming conventions and how creative testing works in an ad account. That is what lets you QC ads properly, and uploads and buying support are where this role grows
• 1+ year in ad ops, creative ops or media buying for a DTC brand or agency
• A track record of being the person who catches the errors other people miss
• Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills
• Clear, plain written English
• Strong with AI tools. You use Claude or similar every day to get real work done, and you check the output instead of trusting it
• Comfortable in Slack, Google Drive and Meta Ads Manager
• Nice to have: AdManage.ai, Motion, Triple Whale, experience with a UGC creator program, Todoist or Asana, or a creator or affiliate pay process
