WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Assist with project management and hitting deadlines across a team of multiple people
- Execute on SEM marketing projects across multiple verticals with a highly collaborative, fast paced digital marketing team
- Conduct deep daily analysis to determine paid search effectiveness, identify opportunities, and execute upon them
- Manage bids to maximize return across keywords, devices, and other levels
- Build campaigns, conduct keyword and audience research, review and edit ad creative/copy
- Audit and QA campaign build-outs, settings, and structures to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. Attention to detail is critical.
- Provide regular reporting (weekly, monthly, and ad hoc) and performance updates to communicate successes, inconsistencies, under‐performance, or any other campaign related metrics
- Assist in streamlining daily and weekly reporting needs
- Continuously improve performance through testing, leveraging campaign analytics
- Create and test various paid search marketing units in collaboration with creative teams
- Create opportunities through staying current with new paid media channels, software, and industry best practices
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 5+ years of experience managing digital paid search (paid social and display a bonus, but not a requirement as 95% of our time is devoted to the search network)
- Experience “going deep” for one account/client with a large budget. You need to have a firm understanding of every layer of paid search and know how to move a very big ship
- Impeccable organizational skills and attention to detail. There are always multiple projects ongoing simultaneously, and you need to be able to deliver on all of them
- Passion for working with a team and the ability to deliver and receive direct, real-time feedback
- Superb communication skills across all levels of the organization from interns to the Board of Directors
- Jedi-level analytical skills — we analyze everything
- Passion for pulling data, analyzing it, making quick decisions, and defending those decisions with data
- Strong understanding of the relationship between all performance marketing funnel metrics. At what rate does each metric affect each other? If one metric is down, is it up or down funnel of other metrics? If 5 metrics are down…which ones do we focus on, and prioritize addressing?
- Ability to run what-if analyses and present multiple scenarios to inform decision making
- Knowledge of the level of complexity needed. Doesn’t over-design. In other words, doesn’t build a lot of infrastructure/complexity if not needed, but if it is needed, can design in a way that’s scalable.
- Ability to self and ruthlessly prioritize business opportunities. There are probably always 1000 things we can be doing…but what should we be doing?
- Disdain for merely hitting goals, because your self-motivation, accountability, and sense of urgency drives you to exceed them
- Strong instincts toward continual growth and optimization, with the ability to pivot based on the company’s needs
- Expertise in Google Adwords, Bing Ads, and/or Facebook Ads Manager
- Up‐to‐date knowledge of the latest trends and best practices in paid media
- Level-headed demeanor under extreme pressure, and ability to work the problem
- Proven track record of being a fast learner who is constantly striving to find a more efficient way to complete a task
