Senior Paid Search Manager

You’ll lead a high-performance Paid Search function managing over 13 active accounts—but this is far more than an execution role. We’re looking for a senior paid search leader who can deliver results today and build the department we’ll scale tomorrow.

You’ll have direct oversight of a Paid Media Manager (focused on campaign execution) and a Marketing Funnel Architect (focused on CRO and landing pages). While you'll be hands-on in campaigns initially, your true mandate is to create the systems, talent, and infrastructure that support a world-class paid search department.

Campaign budgets typically range from $10K–$30K/month. You’ll own the performance strategy and client outcomes across accounts—but your scope extends beyond performance. You’ll be expected to:

  • Design and improve SOPs

  • Build scalable cross-functional workflows

  • Coach and develop your team

  • Shape hiring plans and department structure as we grow

This is a senior role for someone who can execute now but thinks like a department head. You’ll play a critical part in helping us scale from a small, effective team to an elite, scalable Paid Search function.

Key Responsibilities

Campaign Strategy & Execution

  • Plan and launch high-converting campaigns, primarily on Google Ads (Search, Display, PMax).

  • Optimize daily across a portfolio of 8–12 accounts to hit key KPIs (CPL, ROAS, CTR).

  • Take increasing ownership of client strategy and performance as leadership potential is demonstrated.

Performance Monitoring & Reporting

  • Analyze data to detect trends, surface insights, and proactively fix issues.

  • Deliver clear, actionable monthly reporting for clients and internal teams.

  • Run structured A/B tests across ads, bids, and landing pages in collaboration with the Funnel Architect.

Collaboration & Communication

  • Partner with account managers, creatives, and other strategists to align messaging and performance goals.

  • Join client calls/emails as needed—especially when performance shifts or growth opportunities emerge.

  • Translate complex campaign data into plain-language recommendations that shape business outcomes.

Departmental Growth & System Building

  • Improve internal processes to make the Paid Media function smarter, faster, and more scalable.

  • Build repeatable systems and contribute directly to playbooks, SOPs, and team-wide standards.

  • Collaborate with leadership to define how the Paid Media team grows (headcount, structure, tech stack).

  • Mentor junior talent and help define future hiring profiles as we scale.

Bonus Skills

  • Familiarity with pest control or broader home services (HVAC, plumbing, etc.)

  • Experience contributing to SOPs or scaling agency workflows

  • Experience hiring or mentoring peers

  • Exposure to eCommerce or multi-channel paid media strategies

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

  • Wants to build a world-class paid media team—not just manage accounts, but shape a department

  • Treats client budgets like your own—you don’t waste a dollar

  • Moves fast and knows when 90% is enough

  • Enjoys thoughtful disagreement—we want ideas, not ego

  • Builds systems that scale—not chaos that grows

  • Seeks performance over vanity metrics—your job is to drive sales

Our Core Values

  • Differentiation is survival – Be bold, creative, and original. Average kills.

  • Speed over perfection – Build, ship, learn. Iterate fast.

  • Thoughtful disagreement – Be honest, challenge ideas, and seek truth.

  • Transparent process and tools – Clarity beats mystery. No black boxes.

  • Focus on sales and revenue – Leads. Conversions. Results.

Requirements

Experience

  • 7-10 years managing Google Ads with considerable B2C lead generation experience

  • $250+ monthly ad spend under direct management

  • Demonstrated ability to improve both CPL and lead quality

  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally (e.g. with designers, devs, or CRO strategists)

Must-Have Technical Mastery

  • Expert-level experience in Google Ads (Search, Display, PMax), conversion tracking, budget pacing, naming structure discipline.

  • Fluency with GA4, GTM, and call tracking tools like CallRail or Call Tracking Metrics.

  • Excel / Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, formulas).

  • Looker Studio or similar for dashboards.

Strategic & Analytical Strength

  • Able to isolate high-leverage optimizations across a diverse account mix.

  • Comfortable building media plans and forecasting performance scenarios.

Project Management & Communication

  • Clear, professional written English—your ad copy must be client-grade.

  • Organized under pressure; confident juggling multiple high-value accounts.

Benefits

  • $85K–$95K base salary

  • 4%–10% salary increase after 12 months (based on performance)
