You will own the health of our ad spend, continuously testing new angles to lower customer acquisition costs (CAC), creative direction and scale revenue.
Responsibilities:

• Campaign Management & Execution: Build, launch, and manage end-to-end paid campaigns across key networks (including Meta, Google Ads and Microsoft Ads).
• Continuous Optimization: Perform daily account audits, adjust automated bidding strategies, manage budgets to prevent waste, and optimize keyword and audience targeting.
• A/B Testing & Creative Strategy: Collaborate with the creative team to brief, deploy, and test new ad copy, hooks, images, and video assets based on historical performance data.
• Landing Page Optimization: Partner with web developers/designers to test and optimize landing page experiences to maximize conversion rates (CRO).
• Data Analysis & Reporting: Track, analyze, and report weekly/monthly performance metrics using Google Analytics 4 and custom dashboards, providing actionable insights rather than just raw numbers.
• Tracking & Compliance: Ensure clean data capture by setting up and monitoring conversion tracking tags, pixels, and attribution models.
• Auditing and Consulting: Produce comprehensive audits and roadmapping for clients based on their goals and expectations.
• Account ownership: Manage and handle the relationship with the client and Classy Llama to ensure positive and growing engagement.

Technical Skills:

• Platform Expertise: At least 3-5 years of hands-on experience directly managing budgets inside Google Ads, Meta Business Manager and any other platforms. Across both lead generation and e-commerce product driven accounts.

• Data & Spreadsheets: Intermediate to advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, data manipulation) and experience with data visualization tools like Looker Studio.
• Feed Management (Preferred): Experience managing and optimizing product feeds via Google Merchant Center for e-commerce campaigns.

Soft Skills:

• Analytical Curiosity: An innate desire to ask "why" when looking at a data trend, looking past vanity metrics (clicks/impressions) to focus on bottom-line business impact (ROI/ROAS).
• Adaptability & Agility: Comfortable with rapid industry shifts, privacy updates (e.g., cookie depreciation), and fast-evolving ad platform algorithms.
• Strong Copywriting Instincts: The ability to step into the mind of the target consumer and write compelling, benefit-driven ad copy that converts.
• Proactive Communication: The ability to translate complex data sets and technical PPC jargon into clear, straightforward insights for internal stakeholders or clients.
