$53k - $65k

Advance Local

Strengthening and empowering all of the communities we serve.

MV Digital is hiring a Paid Search Media Strategist. This position drives strategy, execution, and optimization of paid media campaigns across Google and Microsoft Ads — including Search, Performance Max, AI Max, YouTube, and Demand Gen — to meet advertiser objectives. This includes all elements of campaign execution - from proposal research, competitive analysis, bid and budget management, ongoing performance monitoring, optimization, and performance analysis, while balancing Google’s AI-driven automation with deliberate campaign controls to maximize performance, efficiency, and client investment.

Compensation for this position is comprised of a base salary plus incentive compensation. The base salary range is $53,000 to $65,000 per year. Additional incentives bring total potential compensation to $58,300 to $71,500.

  What you’ll be doing:

  • Build and manage campaigns across Search, Performance Max, AI Max, Demand Gen, and Shopping formats aligned to client KPIs
  • Structure PMax campaigns with asset group segmentation, audience signals, and brand exclusions; apply AI Max URL expansion controls
  • Maintain traditional Search campaigns alongside automated formats to preserve keyword-level control and protect branded traffic
  • Develop onboarding plans, budget forecasts, and bid strategy recommendations for new and existing clients
  • Implement and manage Smart Bidding strategies (tCPA, tROAS, Maximize Conversions/Value) matched to funnel stage and client goals
  • Feed quality signals via Enhanced Conversions, consent mode (v2), Customer Match, and audience list layering
  • Monitor pacing, adjust budgets, and manage learning periods during seasonal shifts or strategy changes
  • Implement and audit conversion tracking via Google Tag Manager, GA4 event tagging, and Enhanced Conversions
  • Conduct ongoing optimizations: search term analysis, asset reporting, audience reviews, and landing page alignment
  • Build performance reports and communicate insights, trends, and recommendations in client status calls (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly)
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve CPA/ROAS, grow conversion volume, and scale client investment
  • Translate client objectives into actionable PPC tactics; partner with internal teams, search engine reps, and client stakeholders
  • Stay current on Google/Microsoft product updates, AI tool changes, and industry best practices; share learnings with the team


  Our ideal candidate will have the following:

  • Bachelor's degree in marketing, business, communications, or related area or equivalent experience
  • Minimum 1 year’s relevant experience executing and optimizing paid Google Ads and Microsoft Ads campaigns
  • Active Google Ads certifications required: Search and GA4; Microsoft Advertising preferred
  • Google Ads AI-Powered Performance Ads or Google Ads Measurement certification a plus
  • Hands-on experience with YouTube, Demand Gen and Performance Max campaign types required
  • Experience managing multiple clients across varied industries and budgets simultaneously
  • Demonstrated experience with Higher Education, Advocacy and/or B2B clients preferred
  • Google Tag Manager, GA4, Enhanced Conversions, and consent mode (v2) implementation and troubleshooting
  • Strong analytical skills; proficient in Excel, Google Sheets, or Data Studio for performance reporting
  • Familiarity with Display/Video and paid social campaigns a plus
  • Exceptional organizational and time management skills; thrives managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Clear communicator able to translate complex PPC strategy for non-technical stakeholders
  • Proactive, adaptable, and current on evolving platform capabilities and automation best practices
