Implement and analyse A/B tests on ads and landing pages to drive incremental performance gains and campaign efficiencies.

Support SEO Strategy:

Use your paid search insights to contribute ideas for keyword targeting and content opportunities to support the wider SEO strategy.

Proven PPC Experience:

1+ years of hands-on experience managing Google Ads campaigns as a primary responsibility (agency experience is a strong plus).

Data-Driven & Analytical:

You have strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret campaign data and identify performance trends.

Proactive & Detail-Oriented:

You have a meticulous eye for detail and take initiative in managing the day-to-day operations of complex accounts.

A Natural Collaborator:

You have excellent communication skills and thrive in a supportive, office-based team environment where you can share knowledge and learn from others.

Eager to Learn & Grow:

You are motivated to develop your skills and grow from a tactical expert into a strategic marketer.
