- Partner closely with Product to improve post-click conversion performance and landing page experience.
- Collaborate with Data and Analytics teams on attribution, incrementality, and measurement initiatives.
- Identify and execute new growth opportunities across search inventory, seasonal demand patterns, and audience expansion.
- Build reporting frameworks and performance insights that support decision-making across Growth leadership.
Key Competencies
Technical Skills
- Deep expertise in Google Ads, Performance Max, SA360, and Microsoft Ads.
- Strong understanding of bidding systems, attribution, incrementality, and performance measurement.
- Experience operating large-scale search programs in complex environments.

- Strong experimentation mindset and bias toward testing and learning.
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of in-house paid search experience.
- Experience managing multi-million-dollar paid search budgets.
- Demonstrated ownership of ROAS, CPA, or similar business outcomes.
- Experience working in marketplace, ecommerce, travel, or other high-intent transactional businesses.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience in ticketing, travel, rideshare, or other inventory-driven marketplaces.
- Experience with incrementality testing or MMM environments.
- Experience optimizing mobile-web conversion funnels.
- AI fluency within search workflows and analysis.
