Paid Ads Academy is a dynamic, woman-owned startup specializing in advertising education. As one of the fastest-growing companies in its space, Paid Ads Academy empowers business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketing teams by providing expert knowledge and practical skills in mastering paid advertisements to scale businesses profitably. The organization is well-known for hosting several major events each year, including Launch Your Ads Live in Atlanta, More Than Ads domestically, and Hall of Fame internationally. These events serve as pivotal platforms for knowledge sharing, networking, and growing paid advertising expertise, offering incredible experiences for clients and participants alike.

The Senior Events Manager role at Paid Ads Academy is a full-time position based remotely but requires occasional on-site presence in the Metro-Atlanta area. This role reports to the Creative & Brand Director and comes with an annual salary range between $80,000 and $85,000. The position demands a high level of strategic thinking combined with hands-on executional skills for organizing and managing both domestic and international client and team events. The Senior Events Manager will be entrusted with overseeing the entire event lifecycle, from high-level planning and budgeting to onsite event execution, vendor management, and client experience enhancement.

This position is integral to the company’s success in delivering seamless, high-touch experiences that create lasting impressions at every event. The ideal candidate will lead multi-day events such as retreats, workshops, masterminds, and internal team gatherings, ensuring thorough coordination of all aspects including venue selection, event branding, experience design, and thoughtful gifting programs. On-site, the manager will be the primary point of contact ensuring smooth logistics for catering, transportation, audiovisual needs, registration, and real-time troubleshooting.

Effective communication is paramount in this role, as the Senior Events Manager will drive all attendee communications in partnership with the Client Success Team and maintain consistent updates to leadership pertaining to event progress and organizational culture initiatives. Financial acuity is equally important, with responsibilities that include budget planning, contract negotiation, and expense management covering multi-currency concerns for international events.

Additionally, the role demands oversight of gifting and shipping programs, managing the distribution of client gifts, event materials, merch, and team presents with precision to enhance brand experience. Candidates must excel in project management, communication, and organization while demonstrating the ability to manage multiple priorities calmly under pressure. This position requires flexibility, as traveling domestically and internationally to key events three times annually is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned event professional with a passion for strategic event leadership and a desire to contribute meaningfully to a vibrant, growth-focused company. Paid Ads Academy supports work-life balance and employee well-being through benefits such as unlimited PTO, a 401(k) with profit sharing, a home office stipend, a generous wardrobe allowance, and access to a private wellness center.
