Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and execution of paid search strategies across Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising for e-commerce clients, aligning Shopping, Performance Max, and traditional search campaigns into a unified approach.
  • Prioritize product feed optimization as a foundational element: conduct audits, restructure data, and implement ongoing improvements to titles, attributes, GTINs, custom labels, and supplemental feeds to enhance visibility, relevance, and return on ad spend.
  • Contribute to new business proposals and client acquisition efforts through strategic input and presentation.
  • Design segmented campaign and feed architectures that maintain buyer control within automated, AI-powered advertising platforms.
  • Collaborate with clients and internal teams to refine the end-to-end shopping journey—including landing pages, product detail page quality, feed health, promotions, and conversion tracking—to ensure ad performance is supported by strong conversion environments.
  • Define and implement measurement frameworks focused on return on ad spend, new customer acquisition, margin-conscious bidding strategies, incrementality testing, and granular feed-level performance analysis.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a team of paid search and feed specialists, improving standards in quality assurance, account hygiene, and documentation practices.
  • Monitor and interpret evolving platform trends—such as updates to Performance Max, emerging AI-driven tools, retail media integrations, and the move toward signal- and feed-based buying—and apply insights to client planning and roadmaps.
  • Serve as a senior client liaison: communicate strategy, justify recommendations with data-driven evidence, and foster long-term trust and partnership.
