Paid Search Media Buyer (eCommerce)

Paid Search Media Buyer (eCommerce) Remote (US time zones preferred, open internationally) · Contract to hire · $30 to $45/hr · Reports to the Founder Search buying has changed. Google does more of the work than it used to. PMax, Smart Bidding, and broad match will happily spend your client's money for you. The buyers who win now know what to feed the machine: clean product data, the right signals, smart structure, and a clear read on margin. At crackerJCK, we're hiring a paid search media buyer for eCommerce brands in fashion, jewelry, and apparel. Google is your main channel. The products are high AOV, the catalogs run from tight to deep, and the shoppers take their time before they buy. You'll own search performance across accounts that add up to $150K to $250K+ a month in spend. You'll build the structure, run the tests, and tell us what's working and what isn't. If you've scaled search for a premium or luxury brand, we want to hear from you. If you want to set up campaigns from a template and let them run, this isn't the job. If you're the person who opens the search terms report first thing because something looked off yesterday, keep reading. We use AI every day. We're building Claude into how our team runs accounts, from analysis to reporting. You don't need to know our setup. You do need to already use AI in your work and be quick to pick up new tools.
