About the role:
We’re looking for a Paid Search Specialist to help expand and scale our paid marketing program, with a primary focus on web acquisition campaigns. While your expertise will be in paid search, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute to efforts across iOS and Android platforms as needed. You’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working across multiple campaigns, and has a knack for uncovering growth opportunities. You have a detail-oriented mindset, a passion for data-driven decision-making, and the ability to move quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for managing and optimizing paid search campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and Bing Ads. You’ll also collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute experiments, scale budgets, and ensure our campaigns drive growth. You’re eager to dive in and feel excited about managing the ins and outs of search within our rapidly growing startup. You always approach decision-making with a data-driven mindset.
Key Requirements:
3+ years of experience in performance marketing with a strong focus on paid search campaigns for web acquisition.
Deep expertise in Google Ads, Bing Ads, and other web acquisition platforms, with proven results in scaling campaigns.
A desire to move quickly and experiment, with a good nose for impact. You like testing things, but also have a good sense of which tests are impactful (and which aren’t).
A comfort with and desire to pull your own metrics; you have experience building out spreadsheets or other systems that help you monitor performance and pacing, and can slice and dice data as needed (whether that’s pulled from in-platform data, or a product analytics tool like Mixpanel).
An ability to make thoughtful budget decisions, balancing spend across channels and campaigns, and thinking through incrementality and attribution.
Experience working cross-functionally, closely collaborating with functions ranging from Brand Design to Engineering and Analytics.
A technical understanding of how to set up conversion tracking across various channels and platforms (specifically on web); you feel comfortable executing parts independently, and guiding Engineering teams where you need help.
A high level of organization; you’re adept at juggling multiple tasks and priorities, and have a system to ensure things don’t slip through the cracks.
A comfort operating as a one-person show where needed, which includes writing strong, succinct copy.
