Description
Our client is a US-based digital marketing agency with 25+ years of history serving small businesses across America — primarily home services, HVAC, contractors, landscaping, medical practices, and other local service businesses. They are a certified Google Partner with a track record of holding Google Ads accounts to a 10%+ conversion rate, roughly 3x the national average, and social media campaigns running at 2x the national click-through rate. We're hiring a Paid Media Manager to own Google Ads and Meta Ads strategy and execution across the client portfolio. You will personally manage campaigns for 40+ local service businesses simultaneously, with monthly ad budgets typically ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per client.

Daily optimization, weekly testing, monthly reporting, and ongoing collaboration with account managers and the content team are the rhythm of the job. The agency works on plain-language client communication — you will be expected to translate dashboard data into outcomes business owners actually care about.
