Is this you?

This role is for you if…

  • You have run paid ads in the GCC and you know Khaliji buyer psychology cold.
  • You read data looking for the lever, not the excuse. You find out why CPL moved.
  • You have a creative eye and can spot the winning ad, then brief the next one.

This is NOT for you if…

  • You only know how to "set up campaigns" but can't read the numbers.
  • You blame Meta when CPL spikes instead of finding the lever.
  • You're new to paid ads or have never managed real budgets in the GCC.

This is a senior seat.

You need a proven CPL track record and real GCC experience across Meta, Google, Snapchat, and TikTok. When the media buyer wins, the client renews and everything downstream works. When the media buyer loses, churn climbs and nothing else we do makes up for it. So we hire people who own the number.

The role

What You'll Actually Do

You own a portfolio of client ad accounts and the leads they produce. You build, launch, optimise, and scale across four platforms, keeping CPL profitable without letting lead quality slip. Intent matters more than volume here.

40–60 Accounts
Your portfolio across Meta, Google, Snapchat, and TikTok.
Launch Weekly
New creatives, new audiences, new tests, every week.
Optimize Daily
Kill the losers, scale the winners, rotate before fatigue sets in.
$15 CPL
Your headline metric. Qualified leads at a cost that works.

You don't do it alone.

You brief a creative strategist and a video editing team on what to test next, deliver weekly reports through the CSM, and get a lead-quality feedback loop back from the call center. You run the ads. The team runs the production.

Where you'll run

Four Platforms, One Goal

You build and scale lead-form and search campaigns across all four, with Khaliji creative, Arabic-first copy, and scheduling that respects prayer times. Native lead forms do most of the work. You are chasing $15–$25 CPLs that turn into $30K+ projects, not $2 clicks on cold traffic.

About Mahara

Who We Are

Mahara Media generates qualified leads for construction & design firms across Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar — through paid campaigns on Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok. Our clients sell projects worth $30K–$500K+ each, so intent beats volume every time. Everything we promise comes down to qualified leads landing in our clients' CRMs at a cost that works, and the media buyer is the person who delivers that.

About the founder

Who You'll Be Working With

Abdulaziz Waheedi Abdulaziz Waheedi · Founder

Abdulaziz Waheedi founded Mahara Media. He built the playbook we use to help construction and design firms across the GCC win high-value projects, and he still runs the team that delivers it.

He trains his people himself and pays on time. You would be working inside a system that already works, with a founder who knows the ad account as well as you do.
