Paid Media Manager

Our client is a US-based digital marketing agency with 25+ years of history serving small businesses across America — primarily home services, HVAC, contractors, landscaping, medical practices, and other local service businesses. They are a certified Google Partner with a track record of holding Google Ads accounts to a 10%+ conversion rate, roughly 3x the national average, and social media campaigns running at 2x the national click-through rate.

We're hiring a Paid Media Manager to own Google Ads and Meta Ads strategy and execution across the client portfolio. You will personally manage campaigns for 40+ local service businesses simultaneously, with monthly ad budgets typically ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per client. You will be directly accountable for lead volume, cost per lead, conversion rate, and return on ad spend.

This is a hands-on, in-the-accounts role. Daily optimization, weekly testing, monthly reporting, and ongoing collaboration with account managers and the content team are the rhythm of the job. The agency works on plain-language client communication — you will be expected to translate dashboard data into outcomes business owners actually care about.

The role reports to the Director of Marketing / Agency Principal and operates fully remote on a Monday–Friday schedule aligned to US Mountain Time business hours.

Responsibilities

Google Ads

• Build, launch, and optimize Search, Display, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns for local service businesses
• Conduct ongoing keyword research and disciplined negative keyword management to maximize budget efficiency

• Set up and manage conversion tracking via Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
• Manage bid strategies including Target CPA (tCPA), Target ROAS (tROAS), and Maximize Conversions, and adjust based on real performance
• Perform regular Quality Score audits and landing page alignment reviews
• Build remarketing audiences and run RLSA campaigns to re-engage high-intent prospects
• Maintain the agency's 10%+ Google Ads conversion rate standard across all assigned accounts

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

• Build and manage Meta campaigns across lead generation, traffic, retargeting, and brand awareness objectives
• Develop audience strategies using Custom Audiences, Lookalike Audiences, and interest/behavioral targeting

• Run structured A/B tests on creative, copy, audience segments, and placements
• Set up and maintain Meta Pixel and Conversions API for accurate attribution
• Manage daily and lifetime budgets and optimize delivery toward CPL targets
• Apply Advantage+ campaigns where appropriate while maintaining manual control over key accounts

Strategy & Collaboration

• Identify upsell opportunities in existing accounts (e.g., adding retargeting, platform expansion)
• Stay current on Google Ads and Meta Ads platform changes and surface new strategies to the team
• Collaborate with SEO and content teams to ensure paid and organic strategies reinforce each other

How to Apply

Submit your resume along with a brief cover note that addresses both of the following:

1. One Google Ads campaign result you're proud of. Include the specifics — account vertical, monthly budget, what you changed, and the metric that moved (CPL, conversion rate, ROAS, lead volume).
2. How you structure your day when you're managing 40+ accounts. Walk us through your actual workflow, prioritization logic, and the tools or systems you use to stay on top of every account.

Applications without a cover note addressing both questions will not be reviewed.
