Our fully remote team is made up of passionate professionals from around the globe, all working together to drive our clients’ success. We are seeking a highly skilled Media Strategist to join our team and help us take our clients' campaigns to the next level.

💻 What We Want You To Do

A digital strategist leads the strategy, execution, and optimization of paid search campaigns across Google Ads.

You’ll be responsible for developing high-performing strategies, analyzing data to improve performance, and working closely with our creative and client teams to hit KPIs.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment and knows Google Ads inside out.

By focusing on metrics and customer experience, a digital strategist ensures all initiatives drive measurable success while aligning with the brand’s messaging and business goals.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

  • Developing strategies. Create data-driven Google Ads strategies tailored to the target audience and aligned with business goals. Strategic planning should incorporate SEO, paid media, creative testing, and innovation to maximize reach.
  • Analyzing metrics. Use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, shopify, third-party attribution tools (tripplewhale, northbeam, etc.) to track campaign performance, identify trends, and optimize strategies. This analysis also includes monitoring metrics like engagement rates, website traffic, and conversions.
  • Manage day-to-day execution of campaigns across multiple accounts — including budgeting, pacing, targeting, and A / B testing of ad creatives and landing pages.
  • Collaborating. Work closely with the marketing and creative teams to execute cohesive campaigns that reflect the company’s vision.
  • Innovation. Stay ahead of trends in the PPC space, test new betas and strategies, and bring proactive ideas to the table to keep clients ahead of the competition.
  • Client-Facing Communication. Clearly communicate results, insights, and strategy updates to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Designing content. Collaborate with graphic design and content creation teams to produce high-quality digital content that aligns with user experience goals.
  • Monitoring market trends. Stay updated on digital marketing trends and tools to ensure strategies remain innovative and competitive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
  • Landing Page Feedback. Work with designers and CRO specialists to ensure landing pages are optimized for paid traffic.

  • Exceptional verbal and written English skills.
  • Experience. 3–5 years of hands-on experience managing Google Ads campaigns, ideally in an eCommerce or direct-response environment.

  • Analytical Mindset. Strong data skills — ability to draw insights from numbers and act on them quickly.
  • Creative Thinking. A keen eye for what makes a winning ad creative and landing page, with the ability to test and optimize effectively.
  • Communication skills. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively with stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and external partners.

  • Project management. Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks effectively, and meet tight deadlines.
