The opportunity

Ready to take the reins of one of the fastest-scaling DTC brands in the country?

Mood is looking for a Senior Media Buyer, Paid Growth Lead to architect and operate our next phase of digital growth. This is not a passive management role. It is a hands-on operator seat where you will control tens of millions in annual spend, in-house critical channels, direct creative direction, and shape the systems that drive a nine-figure brand. You will report directly to the CEO and build a world-class growth engine that sets the standard for performance marketing in restricted categories.

About Mood Mood is the category-defining DTC hemp brand. Profitable, nine-figure revenue, built by performance marketers. We win with better product, ruthless creative testing, and a compliance-savvy growth engine that scales in restricted environments.

Our mission is simple : get premium hemp products into millions of households and keep them coming back. We are still early.

The opportunity as Senior Media Buyer, Paid Growth Lead You will take full command of Mood’s paid acquisition machine across Meta, Google / YouTube, TikTok, Snap, X, DSPs, podcasts, and AppLovin. Right now, a large share of our media buying is agency-driven. This role is not a “manage the agency” job. It is a hands-on operator seat where you will in-house everything that makes sense, and for what does not, you will manage agencies as if they were internal teams. This is an up-leveling hire, building Mood’s next-phase growth engine. You will report directly to the CEO and lead the build-out of in-house capacities that support the mission.

What you will do

You will seize control of creative direction, whether that is UGC strategies, short-form video, AI-generated ads, or higher production value agency shoots. You will work directly with the CEO to stand up a world-class media buying and creative iteration department.

Right away

• Own the Meta ecosystem end to end : buying, daily optimization, creative direction, account hygiene
• Command Google / YouTube, building a strong second engine beside Meta
• Extend reach into podcasts and AppLovin with structured, test-and-scale frameworks
• Build resilient account structures, escalation playbooks, and fast recovery systems for bans and disapprovals
• Establish dashboards, pacing, and incrementality reads that make business impact clear
• Begin in-housing everything currently outsourced to agencies, and assess what (if anything) should remain external
