About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Media Buyer – US CPL / PPC (Inbound Calls) to own, optimize and scale performance marketing campaigns focused on generating high-intent, qualified leads and inbound calls for US advertisers.
This is a hands-on performance role for someone who understands that successful acquisition is not measured by CPL or cost-per-call alone.
The ideal candidate should understand the complete economics of a campaign — from media spend, CTR and conversion rate through lead/call quality, qualification, advertiser acceptance, payout, revenue and gross profit.
You will be responsible for taking campaigns from initial testing through optimization and ultimately to profitable scale, while working closely with our creative, technology, operations and revenue teams.
Key ResponsibilitiesCampaign Strategy & Execution
- Plan, launch, manage and scale paid acquisition campaigns targeting US consumers.

- Optimize campaigns beyond front-end CPL using advertiser feedback and downstream performance.
- Monitor lead rejection rates, qualification rates, conversion quality and advertiser acceptance.
- Maximize gross profit and sustainable campaign economics , rather than simply generating inexpensive leads.
PPC / Pay-Per-Call & Inbound Call Generation
- Plan, launch and scale campaigns designed to generate high-intent inbound consumer calls for US advertisers and buyers.
- Understand pay-per-call/PPC campaign economics including:
- Cost per call
- Qualified call rate
- Minimum call-duration requirements
- Billable vs. non-billable calls
- Buyer payout
- Revenue per call
- Conversion rates
- Gross profit and margin
- Optimize campaigns toward qualified and billable calls , rather than simply maximizing raw call volume.
- Understand buyer criteria including geo, operating hours, call caps, qualification questions and routing requirements.

- Work with operations and technical teams on call tracking, attribution, routing, IVR and related integrations.

Optimization & Scaling
- Monitor campaign performance daily and make data-driven optimization decisions.
- Analyze CPM, CTR, CPC, CVR, CPL, CPA, cost per call, qualified-call rate, revenue, ROAS and gross profit.

- Work with technology and web-development teams to develop and optimize lead-generation funnels.
- Recommend improvements to landing pages, pre-qualification flows, forms, click-to-call experiences and consumer journeys.
- Conduct A/B tests to improve conversion rates and lead/call quality.
- Understand the relationship between ad messaging, landing-page experience, qualification and advertiser requirements.
- Optimize the path from ad → landing page/pre-qualification → lead or call → advertiser/buyer .
