About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Paid Media Strategist with deep expertise in Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Google Merchant Center, and GA4 to own campaign strategy and execution for a portfolio of eCommerce and lead generation clients.

You'll work across multiple clients and industries, partnering closely with channel leads and account managers to deliver integrated, results-driven media strategies.

In your first few months, you'll focus on stabilizing active accounts, optimizing Google Merchant Center feeds, and tightening up tracking accuracy across GA4 and GTM, all while helping the team prepare for peak eCommerce season. You'll bring calm confidence and immediate value, keeping pacing, data accuracy, and promo readiness on track during high volume months.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. It's ideal for someone who excels at execution, strategic problem-solving, and proactive client and team communication.

• Partner with creative and analytics teams to align messaging, targeting, and conversion paths
• Work closely with Paid Social, Programmatic, and SEO teams to deliver cohesive omnichannel strategies
• Collaborate with account managers to communicate performance and identify optimization opportunities
• Serve as a subject matter expert on Google Ads best practices, feed-based advertising, and tracking infrastructure
• Stay current on platform updates, AI-driven tools, and automation strategies to inform testing roadmaps
• Evaluate and responsibly apply AI-powered features within Google Ads and complementary tools, maintaining strategic oversight and human decision-making
• Develop structured testing roadmaps across audiences, creative, bidding strategies, landing pages, shopping feeds, and campaign types

What You Bring

• Deep expertise in Google Ads, including campaign setup, segmentation, and optimization
• Hands-on experience with GA4, GTM, and GMC
• Proven success managing eCommerce campaigns

• A calm, organized, and proactive approach to problem-solving and prioritization in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

• Experience managing Lead Gen campaigns

You care about progress over perfection and bring both creative energy and strategic thinking to everything you do.
