About the role
About Button
Button is building the future of the commerce powered internet — enabling performance marketing and monetization at scale across marketplaces, brands, and creators. We’re creating products that unlock new value at the intersection of discovery, engagement, and conversion. Button’s Mission is to empower the companies shaping the creator and affiliate economy - fueling mobile growth with innovation and new paths to monetization. Our vision is an internet where all marketing is performance-based, everyone wins, and our innovation in the creator and affiliate economy lays the foundation for a new era of growth.
Button is structured on a hybrid model with anchor days Tuesday-Thursday in our Bryant Park office.
What you'll do
This is a revenue-accountable role, not a relationship-management role. You'll own the performance, growth, and profitability of a portfolio of creator and brand accounts, buying media hands-on every day, turning data into recommendations, and scaling spend profitably.
- Own the health and growth of the portfolio: Buy and manage media directly, monitor campaigns daily, push clients toward stronger setups and spend levels, coordinate with internal teams, and onboard new accounts fast. Your north-star metric is spend volume at break-even or better.
- Drive brands and creators to act: Identify and fix performance blockers (or push clients to fix them), with fast response times.
- Build and shape the team: Coordinate a small cross-functional group (brand PM, creator PMM, operations, and a contract media buyer) and advise leadership on future staffing needs.
- Build the system to run a high-volume book: Create account triage criteria and a repeatable process for managing many accounts, and track service levels like response time and creative acceptance rate.
What you need to be successful
Minimum qualifications
- 8+ years in paid social, performance marketing, advertiser success, account strategy, partnerships, or a related field
- Personally managed seven figures or more per month in paid social spend
- Been bonused on, or held accountable for, the spend you drove
- Experience managing a complex account portfolio
- Deep knowledge of auctions, creative testing, and attribution
- Strong grasp of performance media unit economics (gross profit, take rates, CAC)
- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and mentoring others
- A track record of building processes in lean or unstructured environments
Preferred qualifications
- Creator whitelisting, boosting, or Spark/partnership ads on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or similar platforms
- Experience working directly with creators or talent
- A background in affiliate or creator commerce
- Media buying on your own account for arbitrage
- Experience onboarding clients quickly
What you'll get
- Compensation: Expected base salary of $160,000–$190,000, plus eligibility for a performance-based gross profit bonus
- Comprehensive Health Coverage: 100% company-paid premiums for employee base medical coverage, with ~80% coverage for spouse, partner, and dependent care. Options include both traditional plans and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) paired with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
- HSA Company Contribution: For employees enrolled in the HDHP, the company contributes up to $1,800/year for individuals ($150/month) and up to $3,000/year for families ($250/month).

- Annual "Treat Yourself" Stipend: A $500 annual wellness and personal stipend to spend on vacations, spa days, personal electronics, or home goods.
- Monthly Tech & Connectivity Stipend: $130 per month ($1,560 annually) to cover cell phone and home internet expenses.
- Home Office Setup Allowance: A one-time $400 stipend for new hires to customize their workstation, equipment, and ergonomic office setup.
