  • Develop and execute keyword strategy, including match type management, negative keyword development, and ongoing search term analysis to improve targeting efficiency and lead quality.
  • Monitor, analyze, and optimize campaign performance on a regular basis — adjusting bids, budgets, ad copy, and targeting to consistently improve against cost-per-lead and conversion goals.
  • Collaborate with internal teams — including creative, analytics, and account management — to align on campaign objectives, landing page strategy, and conversion tracking.
  • Manage campaign budgets accurately and efficiently, ensuring proper pacing, allocation across campaigns, and spend accountability at scale.

  • Strong understanding of Google Ads audience tools, targeting options, and platform policies as they apply to performance campaigns.
  • Proven ability to optimize toward cost-per-qualified-lead (CPQL) and downstream conversion volume, not raw form-fills.
  • Experience in regulated or sensitive verticals (healthcare, housing, finance, legal).
