Job Summary
Owns paid search performance with hands-on optimization and tooling initiatives, driving automated auditing, bidding, and reporting across campaigns.
- Leads data-driven experimentation and optimization programs
- Interfaces with analytics and tooling to improve CAC, CPA, ROAS, and LTV
Job Description
Requirements
- 5 to 8 years in paid search or performance marketing, with your tactical depth intact, whether you rose quickly and stayed close to the craft or are a more senior operator returning to hands-on work.
- Deep tactical mastery of Google Ads (Microsoft Advertising a plus). You build and optimize campaign structure and bidding personally.
- Demonstrated use of AI at a software level. You have built or co-built tools, with a technical partner, a software kit, or on your own, that turn paid-search best practices into automated auditing, bid and budget optimization, and reporting. This is beyond platform-native automation and chat prompting.

- Strong analytical and quantitative skills, including query-level analysis. SQL and BI tools a plus.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering or the sciences.
- A hybrid in-office approach, enabling remote work a portion of each week
Preferred
- Broader paid-acquisition experience (paid social, app install). SEM is the focus, but breadth informs how you build and opens future scope.
- Experience with Search Ads 360 or third-party PPC tooling.
- Sports, entertainment, and/or two-sided marketplace experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering or the sciences.
