Manager, Paid Social

Company Description

WHO WE ARE

Equinox is a category of one, setting the global standard for luxury health, wellness, and hospitality. Our spaces are intentionally elevated, our standards uncompromising, and our expectations high. We attract people who take pride in excellence, care deeply about quality, and want to be part of something that feels different the moment you walk through the door.

We are builders, operators, and innovators who believe great environments and meaningful human connection change lives. Diversity, belonging, and ownership aren’t slogans here, they’re how we work. At Equinox, colleagues don’t just support the business; they shape the future of wellness. Because for us, it’s not fitness. It’s life.

WHAT WE DO

We create premium, immersive experiences where performance, hospitality, design, and human connection converge—and every detail matters. This is not a traditional fitness environment. It is a place where high standards, accountability, and pride in craft define the work.

Fueled by an entrepreneurial mindset, we trust our people with real responsibility and real impact. Growth is earned through action, learning is hands‑on, and careers are built by those who want to operate at the highest level. At Equinox, we don’t just offer opportunities—we offer long‑term pathways for people who want to do meaningful work in an environment that expects more and delivers more.

• Define conversion taxonomy, consent-aware tracking, pixel/tag standards and server-side conversions where relevant. Partner with Marketing Analytics to build dashboards/scorecards and deliver crisp weekly/monthly readouts; surfacing insights, wins, learnings, and clear recommendations.
• Translate auction and audience insights into creative briefs; track fatigue and creative win-rates; partner with Brand/Creative on rapid iteration and CRO-aligned landing experiences.
• Build/exclude/lookalike strategies using 1P data; maintain list hygiene and identity best practices; partner with Data/Analytics on alerting and acceptance tests to ensure accuracy.
• Manage platform reps (Meta/TikTok/LinkedIn) and agency partners; pilot betas responsibly and codify learnings for scale.
• Work closely with Growth, Brand/Creative, CRM, Digital Experiences/Web/App, and Marketing Analytics to align plans and convert insights into action.
• Uphold privacy-safe targeting and measurement (GDPR/CCPA) and ensure brand suitability across buys.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Analytics, or related field.
• 4–6+ years managing paid social at scale with clear ownership of strategy, budgets, and outcomes (in-house or agency).
• Proficiency with Facebook Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, and LinkedIn; strong grasp of bidding strategies, audience construction, and frequency/sequence management.
• Proven agency leadership (SLAs, QA, test roadmaps) and the ability to challenge partners with insight-backed recommendations.
• Strong analytics fluency (GA4/Adobe; Looker/Tableau/Power BI) and comfort communicating CPA/ROAS/LTV and incrementality with stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experimentation rigor (A/B and, when feasible, holdouts/geo or lift tests) and performance storytelling for executive audiences.
• Familiarity with privacy-safe targeting/measurement (consent modes, server-side conversions) and UTM/naming governance; excellent organization and cross-functional communication.
