Campos rose through the youth ranks at Guayaquil club Barcelona. However, he never played for the senior. He instead moved to Europe to play for Belgian club Gent in 2002. After a year and a half at the club, he return to Ecuador to play for Quito based club Aucas. After one season with the club, he moved to cross-town rivals LDU Quito.
Since joining Liga, he has become a key figure in the squad earning starting roles in important matches. He was part of the squad that won the two Ecuadorian titles (2005 Apertura and 2007), the 2008 Copa Libertadores (in which he scored a goal in the finals), and the 2009 Recopa Sudamericana.
After five successful years at LDU Quito, Campos signed with Brazilian Club Atlético Mineiro on December 20, 2009.
In 20 January 2011, Campos signed for Deportivo Quito on loan from Atlético Mineiro until the end of the season.
Jairo has participated in Ecuador's 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign. He is a key player to Sixto Vizuete's starting line-up as a center back. He is also considered to be a future replacement for the veteran Ivan Hurtado.
