About the Role

The Growth Marketing team is responsible for driving new trials and subscribers across our multi‑brand portfolio. We're a high‑performing, data‑driven customer acquisition team that manages a multi‑million‑dollar media mix that includes Demand Generation, Partner Marketing, Paid Search, Paid Social, Display, TV, Audio, Affiliate, Direct Mail, and more.

Responsibilities

• Build, launch, and directly manage our paid search programs on Google and Bing/Microsoft Ads, Shopify Ads and our paid social programs on platforms like Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, and TikTok — this is an execution‑focused role, not an agency‑oversight role.
• Get hands‑on in the platforms daily: writing ad copy and social creative briefs, structuring campaigns and ad groups/ad sets, setting and adjusting bids, and managing budgets at the campaign and keyword/audience level in coordination with campaign leads.
• Closely analyze paid search and paid social metrics, regularly making optimizations and recommendations for improvement.
• Conduct keyword research and analyze paid search ad copy for optimization opportunities.
• Plan and execute ongoing A/B tests across bidding strategies, ad copy, creative, audiences, and landing pages to drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with the SEO team to design and implement strategies for better reporting and SERP coverage.
• Own conversion tracking and attribution setup (GA4, platform‑native conversion tracking) in partnership with Analytics to ensure clean, trustworthy performance data across search and social.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands‑on experience managing paid search campaigns, ideally in a multi‑brand, subscription, or SaaS environment; experience running paid social campaigns (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, or similar) is a strong plus.
• Deep expertise in Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising (Bing) including video and display.
• Working knowledge of paid social ad platforms (Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, TikTok Ads, or similar), including audience building, creative testing, and budget management.
• Strong analytical skills with fluency in GA4, conversion tracking/attribution, and Excel; comfort turning data into clear recommendations.
• Solid understanding of SEM fundamentals: keyword research, bid strategy, audience segmentation, ad copy testing, and quality score optimization.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present performance and strategy to stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in B2B/SMB focused SaaS or consumer marketplace companies.
• Experience managing large paid search budgets and optimizing spend to drive ROI.
