Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own Google strategy and daily execution across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube
  • Manage $500K+ per month in Google spend against MER, ROAS, and CPA targets
  • Own Merchant Center and feed health end to end. Diagnose disapprovals, feed gaps, and Shopify sync issues yourself, and use supplemental feeds and custom labels to steer spend
  • Structure PMax with intent: asset groups, exclusions, signal inputs, new customer acquisition settings, and a clear read on what is working inside it
  • Hold a real position on branded spend and incrementality, and walk a client through it
  • Support Meta, TikTok, [CTV,] and other channels where they affect your accounts, and hold a point of view on cross-channel allocation
  • Lead the Google portion of client calls. Explain performance clearly, bring a recommendation, and push back when a request will not serve the client
  • By month 4, 80% or more of your accounts are green against their monthly goals
  • Zero client-seen launch errors each quarter, including feed and Merchant Center issues
  • Every test closes with a written verdict in the change log

Requirements

  • 4+ years of hands-on Google Ads at an agency or high-growth brand
  • Deep Search, Shopping, and Performance Max expertise, plus Merchant Center and feed troubleshooting
  • Personally owned $250K+ monthly Google budgets with documented efficiency gains
  • DTC or e-commerce ownership. Premium or luxury AOV experience is a strong differentiator
  • Working Meta knowledge. Not depth, but enough to speak to it credibly
  • GA4, Looker Studio, Shopify, and attribution fluency
  • Fluent, confident English and strong client communication. This role is client-facing
  • Comfortable managing accounts in a fast-moving remote environment

Benefits

  • Paid time off
  • Paid company holidays
  • Flexible Fridays
  • Remote-first collaboration
  • Quarterly bonus opportunities
