Senior Google Media Buyer [Remote]

Location: Remote | Type: Contract, 40 Hour Weeks

About the Role

Brick Social is a performance creative agency built for DTC and e-commerce brands that want to grow, not just spend. We run Meta and Google paid media with a creative-first, data-driven approach, and we hold ourselves to a high standard.

We're hiring a Google Media Buyer to own and scale Google Ads performance across a portfolio of e-commerce clients. This isn't an entry-level role where you'll watch someone else do the work. You'll be hands-on in accounts, building structure, running tests, and owning outcomes.

If you're the kind of person who checks their accounts before coffee, has opinions about PMax asset groups, and genuinely enjoys the puzzle of performance media, read on.

What You'll Own

Campaign Performance

• Manage and optimize Google Ads accounts across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube
• Hit client revenue and spend projections (green = 90%+)
• Build clean, scalable campaign structures aligned with each brand's growth stage
• Run at least 3 meaningful split tests per client per quarter, targeting 15%+ improvement in tested areas

Strategy & Reporting

• Prepare weekly performance write-ups with clear metrics, trends, and recommended next actions (coordinated with the Meta Media Buyer)
• Complete monthly account audits and present optimization priorities
• Develop and maintain a standardized Google account structure playbook for e-commerce
• Build a PMax optimization framework with creative asset scoring

Cross-Channel Collaboration

• Coordinate with the Meta Media Buyer on cross-channel strategy and budget allocation
• Work with Creative Strategists on asset briefs, copy direction, and testing hypotheses
• Participate in bi-weekly client calls with prepared insights and clear next steps
• Meet with Google account reps to surface opportunities and stay ahead of platform changes

Growth & Initiative

• Contribute at least 1 new strategy, platform feature, or test idea per quarter
• Support new business audits, pitches, and proposals
• Complete assigned training within agreed timelines

How We Measure Success

70%+ of client accounts should be in green on ROAS and CPA targets at any given time. Client satisfaction stays high, no more than 3 escalations per quarter.

• Extreme Ownership — you don't wait to be told something is broken
• Openness — you take feedback well and share what you're learning
• Growth Mindset — you want to be better at this than you were six months ago
• Exceeds Expectations — good enough isn't your bar
• Detail-oriented enough that a 0.05% error rate target doesn't stress you out, it motivates you
