Build Capability.

Role purpose The Head of Media Buy leads the company's media buying function, with a particular emphasis on black-hat media buying tactics. Working alongside an established in-house design team and automation capability, the role brings a proactive, hands-on approach to acquiring traffic: continuously developing new strategies to buy advertising and drive direct conversion for the company's brands. The Head of Media Buy is accountable for black-hat strategy, for the acquisition landing pages that convert paid traffic, for tracking, and for transparent reporting of spend and return on investment. Key responsibilities Black-hat media buy strategy • Lead the Media Buy team and set its strategic focus on black-hat media buying, through both in-house setups and external sources. • Develop and execute black-hat strategies for campaign delivery, covering both seasonal and evergreen activity, and renew them continuously. • Manage campaigns directly, setting the standard for the team in campaign build, optimisation and scaling. • Build and maintain the technical and account infrastructure on which black-hat buying depends, ensuring resilience when platforms or networks change their policies. • Document tactics and processes in playbooks, so that performance does not depend on any single individual. Platforms and campaigns • Major platforms: Meta, Google and YouTube, Bing, TikTok and X, plus Telegram, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Reddit. • Additional traffic types: native, push, pop and programmatic, direct buys with sports and odds publishers, and display campaigns in Bannerflow. • New sources and markets: competitor and market research to find new sources, a channel mix tailored to each market including DACH, Brazil and Turkey, and scale, pause or discontinue decisions on the data. Acquisition landing pages • Own the media buy landing pages for Acquisition. Design and development are delivered by in-house designers and developers; the Head of Media Buy ensures the pages remain current. • Partner with the Head of SEO to ensure sufficient landing page coverage for the traffic being purchased. • Provide input for landing page tests, and apply the findings to improve conversion. Tracking, targets and reporting • Work with Netrefer on tracking, ensuring every campaign is measured from click through to registration, FTD and NGR. • Be accountable for the agreed targets: FTDs, NGR, cost per FTD and cost per registration. • Provide reporting on request at any time, with full transparency on where budget is spent and the return it delivers. • Produce regular dashboards and weekly performance reports across all campaigns. Budget and financial control • Own the media buy budget, agreeing the split across channels with the Head of Acquisition and monitoring pacing and spend daily. • Approve spend only against agreed budgets, maintaining a clear audit trail for every top-up, payment and spend movement. • Reconcile spend against platform and network records and invoices, and escalate any variance immediately. • Maintain documented records of access to ad accounts and payment methods. Cross-functional collaboration • Work closely with the Head of Social Media, who owns communications strategy and white-hat media buying with a separate budget, so that both functions operate in alignment. • Work directly with the AI Creative Lead on all campaign creatives, including briefs, variants and performance feedback. Team leadership • Lead the Media Buy team, setting priorities, reviewing work regularly and providing coaching. • Maintain availability and responsiveness during core working hours, and set the same expectation for the team. Requirements • Based in Malta, with the right to work in Malta. No relocation package is offered. • Minimum five years' experience in performance media buying, including a proven record in black-hat or non-standard media buying in iGaming or other restricted verticals, supported by demonstrable results. • Hands-on proficiency across multiple traffic types and platforms, such as Meta, YouTube, Telegram, native, push and programmatic. • Strong knowledge of tracking and attribution, including postbacks, UTMs and server-side tracking. • Experience leading a media buying team and managing significant monthly advertising budgets with clear controls. • Strong financial discipline, with spend documented, reconciled and explained proactively. • A proactive, accountable approach, with prompt responsiveness and open collaboration with colleagues. • Advantageous: media buying experience in the DACH region, Brazil and Turkey, although not limited to these markets; iGaming experience across several markets; and experience hiring and developing media buyers.
