Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Build, launch, and manage Google Ads campaigns across Search, Shopping, and Performance Max for a portfolio of ecommerce clients.

- Run ongoing optimizations: search-term mining, bid and budget adjustments, structure refinements, and A/B tests on copy and landing pages.
