Marketing Operations Specialist

Marketing Operations Specialist
Remote-First | Early-Career Opportunity | AI-First Environment

Do you enjoy uncovering why two reports do not match, why a campaign suddenly stopped generating quality leads, or how a repetitive process could be improved using AI and automation?
Basement Kings USA is seeking a technically curious, analytical, and highly organized Marketing Operations Specialist to connect leadership, advertising agencies, marketing platforms, customer data, and multiple operating brands. This is not a social-media or content-creation position. The role focuses on making sure marketing operations work effectively through paid-media oversight, data analysis, tracking, agency accountability, and AI-enabled process improvement.

Position Details
Reports To: Chief Marketing Officer
Location: Remote in Durham, NC
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00am-6:00pm EST
Compensation: $62,000-$72,000 per year, depending on experience
Travel: Occasional business travel may be required

What You'll Own
Paid-Media Performance
Work directly in Google Ads and other paid-media platforms while also overseeing agency-managed accounts. Review campaign structure, bids, budgets, keywords, competition, conversion data, ad quality, and automated bidding to evaluate performance and ask informed questions.
Data, Customer Insights & Measurement
Analyze and reconcile information across advertising platforms, call tracking, analytics, CRM data, internal reports, and agency reporting. Research discrepancies, identify patterns in lead quality and customer behavior, and turn findings into recommended tests, operational changes, or budget decisions.
Agency & Marketing Operations
Coordinate with paid-media and SEO agencies, document commitments, confirm completed work, and follow open items through resolution. Support platform access, invoices, billing questions, vendor administration, and operating documentation.
Tracking & Systems
Monitor connections between systems such as CallRail, GA4, Google Ads, Zapier, and ServiceTitan. Spot broken tracking, unreliable conversion data, duplicate records, or incomplete data that could affect campaign performance and automated bidding.
AI & Automation
Use AI to build or meaningfully improve workflows, automations, agents, lightweight applications, scripts, reporting processes, or other repeatable systems. AI output must be verified, with the employee remaining accountable for accuracy and final results.

Foundational Skills

• Strong analytical judgment, attention to detail, organization, follow-through, and the ability to research conflicting data.

• Ask informed questions and use evidence before recommending changes.
• Look for opportunities to turn successful one-time solutions into repeatable systems.
• Are comfortable learning new software and working across multiple connected platforms.

What Success Looks Like
Within the first 90 days, you will begin taking ownership of agency coordination, assigned paid-media responsibilities, tracking-health checks, data reconciliation, cross-brand standards, and routine vendor administration. You will also implement or significantly improve at least one AI-assisted workflow and present at least one data-supported recommendation for a campaign test, budget decision, process improvement, or cross-brand change.
