Seeking a Digital Marketing Specialist (Paid Search) who has personally managed and optimized Google Ads campaigns for ecommerce businesses. The ideal candidate is a hands-on paid search expert with experience managing significant advertising budgets, developing campaign strategy, analyzing performance data, and making daily optimization decisions that improve ROAS, revenue, and customer acquisition.

  • Review Search Terms Reports to identify keyword opportunities, add negative keywords, and reduce wasted spend.
  • Analyze campaign performance and make data-driven recommendations to improve results.
  • Optimize Performance Max campaigns and understand how they work alongside Search and Shopping campaigns.
  • Manage and analyze Google Merchant Center, product feeds, and Shopping campaign performance.
  • Partner with creative and web teams on ad copy, landing pages, and conversion optimization.
  • Prepare reporting on spend, revenue, ROAS, customer acquisition, and overall campaign performance.

Qualifications

  • 2–4+ years of hands-on Google Ads management experience.

  • Experience with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, conversion tracking, and attribution.
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills.
  • Ability to analyze performance data and make independent optimization decisions.
