Job Summary

Own and optimize multi-channel paid campaigns end-to-end, drive SEO and email activities, and translate insights into client-ready recommendations across Google Ads, Bing, and beyond.

  • Lead campaign strategy and daily optimization
  • Coordinate reporting and client-facing insights
  • Collaborate with account managers to tie marketing tactics to client goals

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build, launch, and manage paid campaigns across Google Ads, Local Service Ads, shopping campaigns, and Bing Ads.
  • Own day-to-day optimization: budgets and pacing, bidding, audiences, keywords, negatives, and ad testing.
  • Monitor performance against client goals and recommend where budget and effort should move.
  • Own monthly PPC reporting: what is working, what is not healthy, and what we recommend changing, starting, or stopping.
  • Support account managers with PPC data analysis and recommendations they can carry into client conversations.
  • Keep campaigns honest by tying spend to real outcomes, not surface metrics.
  • Execute SEO work including on-page optimization, keyword-driven updates, and technical hygiene basics.
  • Build and manage email marketing campaigns, from list segmentation to sends and performance review.
  • Write functional marketing content in support of your channels: ad copy, email copy, meta descriptions, and on-page edits. You won't be our content writer, but you can string words together well enough to keep work moving.
  • Jump into other digital channels and unfamiliar platforms as client needs demand.

Requirements

  • 3 to 5 years in digital marketing with meaningful hands-on paid media experience.
  • Proven ability managing Google Ads campaigns. Experience with Local Service Ads, shopping campaigns, or Bing Ads is a plus; what you have not run before, you can learn here.
  • Working knowledge of GA4 and familiarity with Google Tag Manager. You don't need to be an expert, but you can't be blind walking into tracking and measurement conversations.
  • Capable across SEO and email marketing, with the flexibility to move between channels.
  • Able to write serviceable marketing copy for ads, emails, and on-page SEO.
  • A strategic thinker who connects execution to outcomes and resists doing things just because they're on the list.
  • Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day work with a solid high-level understanding of how they fit a modern marketing workflow. We are a Claude shop.

Preferred

  • CRM administration experience
  • advanced conversion tracking (offline or server-side)
  • certifications in Google Ads, Google Analytics, or HubSpot
  • agency experience
  • client-facing experience

Benefits

  • We offer a competitive package including health, dental, and vision coverage, paid parental leave, 401(k) matching, PTO, company holidays, and ongoing support for education and professional development.
