About the Role

We're looking for a results-driven, detail-obsessed Paid Google Ads Specialist with 4-6 years of experience managing high-performance SEM campaigns. You'll be joining our growing Paid Media team to plan, execute, and optimize Google Ads campaigns that deliver meaningful business outcomes - leads, sales, and scale.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in performance environments, understands how to manage complex accounts with media budgets ranging from $10,000 to $100,000/month, and brings a proactive attitude to every stage of campaign development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, build, and launch Paid Search campaigns aligned with client goals (awareness, lead generation, ecommerce sales).
  • Own and manage day-to-day performance of Google Ads campaigns including bid adjustments, keyword expansions, negative keyword strategy, audience layering, and geo/device optimizations.
  • Monitor pacing and spend to ensure alignment with monthly budgets and KPIs.
  • Perform in-depth keyword research, competitive landscape reviews, and targeting strategy development.
  • Continuously optimize campaign elements to drive better CPA/CPL outcomes-ad copy, extensions, bid strategies, and landing page alignment.
  • Conduct weekly performance analysis with insights and recommended actions; report on wins, learnings, and areas for improvement.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Senior Media Buyers, Account Managers, Technical, and Creative teams to ensure cohesive campaign execution.
  • Leverage Google Analytics, conversion tracking, and attribution models to inform strategy and performance shifts.
  • Stay ahead of Google Ads platform updates, SEM best practices, and industry benchmarks to refine approach.
  • Support senior media planners in account audits, QBR preparations, and media strategy presentations.

Requirements

  • 4-6 years of hands-on SEM campaign management, specifically on Google Ads.
  • Proven track record running and optimizing campaigns with monthly budgets of $10,000-$100,000.
  • Strong experience optimizing for CPL and CPA across lead generation and e-commerce campaigns.
  • Proficiency in Google Ads, Google Analytics, and campaign tracking methodologies.
  • Experience with conversion tracking setup, audience segmentation, and retargeting.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret performance data and pivot strategy accordingly.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, time management, and prioritization skills.
  • Confident communicator who can articulate performance insights clearly and professionally.
  • Self-starter with a proactive, ownership-first mentality.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working in an agency environment.
  • Google Ads certifications (Search, Display, Measurement).
  • Exposure to CRO or landing page optimization strategies.
  • Familiarity with other platforms (Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads) is a plus.

Why Join Us

  • Join a high-performing, fast-paced media team where results matter and creativity thrives.
  • Be part of a supportive and collaborative culture that values your input and encourages ownership.
  • We integrate AI tools and automation into our workflows, helping you work smarter, not harder - so you can focus on strategy and results.
  • Enjoy served team lunches every Thursday, quarterly team socials, and a fun, high-energy environment that celebrates wins.
  • We offer full medical benefits after 3 months, competitive compensation, and a clear growth path within the agency.
  • If you're performance-driven, love solving challenges, and want to grow alongside other sharp, motivated marketers - this is your place.
