Senior Strategist, Paid Social

Location: Remote (East Coast hours preferred) Code3 is an integrated marketing agency built for the modern consumer journey. We sit at the intersection of Connected Media, Creative, and Commerce, helping some of the world's most recognized brands and fastest-growing challengers turn attention into business growth. Paid social has evolved far beyond media buying.

Success today requires understanding consumer behavior, creative performance, platform innovation, and how culture influences the way people discover and buy products. Our team partners with clients to build full funnel strategies that connect all of those pieces—combining data, creativity, testing, and measurement to drive meaningful business results. We believe the best ideas come from people who are endlessly curious, willing to challenge conventional thinking, and excited to experiment.

We work collaboratively across media, creative, measurement, strategy, and platform partnerships to continuously push our clients and ourselves forward.

About The Role

As a senior member of the team, you'll also help mentor junior strategists, contribute to our team's evolution, and champion a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and experimentation.
