Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own Google strategy and daily execution across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube
  • Manage $100K+ per month in Google spend against ROAS, CPA, and MER targets
  • Own Merchant Center and feed health end to end. Diagnose disapprovals, feed gaps, and Shopify sync issues yourself
  • Structure PMax deliberately: asset groups, exclusions, signal inputs, 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, and other channels where they affect your accounts, and hold a point of view on cross-channel allocation
  • Lead the paid search portion of client calls. Explain performance clearly, bring a recommendation, push back when a request will not serve the client
  • Mentor junior buyers and act as the QA gate for paid search before it goes live

Requirements

  • 4+ years hands-on Google Ads, agency or high-growth brand side
  • Deep Search, Shopping, and Performance Max expertise, plus Merchant Center and feed troubleshooting
  • Personally owned $100K+ 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, and attribution fluency
  • Fluent, confident English and strong client communication. This role is client-facing
  • Comfortable across multiple accounts in a fast-moving remote environment

Benefits

  • Paid time off
  • Paid company holidays
  • Flexible Fridays
  • Remote first collaboration
  • Quarterly performance bonus potential
