Job Summary

Own the paid search program end-to-end across multiple platforms, shaping strategy, architecture, measurement, and client storytelling while mentoring juniors and aligning with cross-functional teams.

  • Forecasting, testing roadmaps, and quarterly POVs to inform decisions.
  • Measurement strategies that tie spend to pipeline and lead quality, not just form fills.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Owning paid search strategy and performance across your portfolio, including forecasting, budget planning, testing roadmaps, and developing quarterly points of view that inform client decision-making
  • Leading campaign architecture and ongoing optimization across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and SA360, including bidding strategy, audience layering, and thoughtful use of automation
  • Designing measurement strategies that connect paid search investment to pipeline, not just form fills, through offline conversion imports, CRM feedback loops, and lead quality scoring
  • Using performance and measurement insights to identify opportunities and confidently advise clients when a lower-cost lead does not necessarily represent a better-quality lead
  • Translating performance data and strategic insights into clear, actionable recommendations for senior client stakeholders, including navigating challenging conversations when needed
  • Maintaining a high standard of work across accounts through proactive QA, account health reviews, and clear quality standards for the team supporting you
  • Mentoring and coaching junior team members through regular feedback, guidance, and opportunities to build greater independence
  • Partnering closely with Client Strategy, Analytics, and Creative to ensure paid search is integrated with the broader client program and business strategy

Requirements

  • 6+ years in paid search, with at least 3 running B2B programs where lead quality and pipeline were the accountability, not MQL volume
  • Direct experience with B2B measurement infrastructure: Salesforce or HubSpot integration, offline conversion imports, lead scoring, and multi-touch or incrementality frameworks. You should be able to explain what you do when the CRM data is messy, because it usually is
  • Depth in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads at the architecture level: how you'd structure an account for a business with three products, six personas, and a nine-month sales cycle
  • Experience with SaaS, fintech, HR/payroll, or similarly considered-purchase B2B categories
  • Strong analytical instincts and fluency in GA4 plus at least one enterprise analytics or BI platform
  • The ability to hold a point of view with a senior client who disagrees, and to change it when the data says you should
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and competing priorities across multiple accounts

Preferred

  • Agency experience, or experience managing an agency
  • Familiarity with ABM and intent data platforms (6sense, Demandbase, or similar) and how they inform search targeting
  • Experience mentoring or formally managing paid search talent

  • Remote-first culture
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Extended Holiday break (Winter)
  • Flexible schedules
  • Work from anywhere options*
  • 100% paid parental leave
