Kontrah Labs

What you’ll actually do

You’ll own the execution side of paid campaigns for our client accounts. This isn’t a coordinator role. You’ll be inside ad accounts every single day.

Campaign Execution

• Build, launch, and manage Meta and Google Ads campaigns end-to-end (sales, lead gen, traffic, conversions)
• Set up campaign structures, ad sets, audiences, placements, and creative rotations
• Upload creatives, write ad copy variations, and set up A/B tests
• Manage budgets, pacing, and bid strategies across accounts

Optimization and Analysis

• Monitor account performance daily — CTR, CPM, CPC, CPA, ROAS, frequency
• Identify winning and losing ad sets, scale or kill based on data
• Diagnose drops in performance (creative fatigue, audience saturation, attribution issues) and propose fixes
• Pull weekly performance reports and flag what’s working and what isn’t

Creative and Landing Page Collaboration

• Brief the creative team (or external designers) on ad creative needs based on what’s working
• Work with the founder to test landing page variants and recommend CRO experiments
• Stay on top of creative trends in D2C, especially for premium and lifestyle brands

AI-First Workflow

You will use AI tools every single day. This isn’t optional and it isn’t a buzzword — it’s how we work

• Use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar LLMs for ad copy generation, audience research, competitor analysis, and brief writing
• Use AI image and video tools (Midjourney, Runway, Sora, Google Veo, ElevenLabs, etc.) for creative ideation and rapid creative variants
• Build prompt workflows for repetitive tasks — reporting, audience research, copy variations
• Stay current on new AI tools as they launch and bring ideas to the team
• If your instinct is to do something manually that AI could do in 1/10th the time, you’re working wrong here

Client Communication

This is roughly 30–40% of the role. You’ll be client-facing from week one

• Run weekly performance review calls with clients — present numbers, explain what’s happening, recommend next steps
• Respond to client messages on WhatsApp/email within working hours, professionally and with data
• Write structured weekly performance reports clients can read in 5 minutes
• Manage client expectations on timelines, results, and creative deliverables
• Flag risks early — a campaign trending down, a creative pipeline running thin, a tracking issue — before clients have to ask

What we’re looking for

Must have

• 1–2 years of hands-on experience running Meta Ads and Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, Shopping)
• You’ve personally managed monthly spends of at least ₹2–5 lakhs across accounts
• Strong grasp of Meta Ads Manager — campaign objectives, Advantage+, custom audiences, lookalikes, pixel/CAPI setup
• Comfortable with Google Ads — keyword research, Search campaigns, conversion tracking, PMax basics
• Active daily user of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, or similar). You can show us prompts you’ve actually written and workflows you’ve built
• Confident on client calls — you can present numbers, hold your ground, and explain things clearly without jargon
• Solid Excel/Google Sheets skills — pivot tables, basic formulas, building performance dashboards
• Analytical mindset — you can look at a table of numbers and tell a story
• Clear written communication in English — your WhatsApp messages and emails will go directly to founders of premium brands

Nice to have

• Experience with D2C or ecommerce brands (Shopify, WooCommerce)
• Familiarity with GA4, Meta Pixel events, conversion API setup
• Exposure to creative testing frameworks and ad copy writing
• Worked at an agency before (you understand client cadence)
•
