Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the global paid search strategy across Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and emerging search platforms - bringing a strategic, test-and-learn mindset to keyword architecture, bid strategy, campaign structure, and budget decisions tied to pipeline and revenue goals
  • Build and embed AI and automation tools into daily workflows to accelerate keyword research, ad copy generation, reporting, and bidding optimization - and develop a clear point of view on winning in AI-native environments where user behavior and search itself are fundamentally changing
  • Partner with SEO, Web, and Product teams to align paid and organic strategy, optimize landing pages for conversion and message-match, and close the loop between ad platform inputs and down-funnel quality signals like product activation and revenue

  • You're highly analytical with experience building dashboards and reports in tools like GA4, Looker, or Tableau, and designing A/B tests with statistical rigor
  • You have a strong understanding of how paid and organic search interact across the full funnel, and how down-funnel quality signals can and should feed back into campaign strategy
  • You're actively leveraging and harnessing AI's impact on search - from AI Overviews to conversational search - to implementing AI tools to execute and scale your programs and workflows

Preferred

  • You have experience in B2B product-led growth companies, marketing to SMBs and or consumer marketing.
  • You're adept and comfortable with other paid media channels: paid social, display, programmatic.
