Senior Paid Advertising Strategist

About Reunion Marketing

Reunion Marketing is a dynamic, data-first digital marketing agency specializing in the automotive industry. We help clients grow through measurable, performance-driven strategies, innovative campaign execution, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

At Reunion, data beats intuition. We believe strong paid media performance requires more than technical campaign management. It requires strategic thinking, proactive communication, confident client leadership, and the ability to turn insights into action.

We are seeking a Senior Paid Advertising Strategist who can lead high-impact paid search and paid social strategies, influence client outcomes, and help elevate the overall performance standard of our paid advertising team.

About the Role

You will serve as a trusted performance advisor for your accounts and help guide clients toward decisions that improve measurable results.

This is not simply an execution-focused role. The Senior Paid Advertising Strategist is expected to think ahead, identify opportunities, solve complex performance challenges, mentor others, and contribute to the continued evolution of Reunion Marketing’s paid advertising approach.
