We’re hiring a Paid Media Manager to partner with our client in managing multiple paid search accounts ranging from $10K to $30K monthly budgets. This is a strategic and hands-on role where you’ll own campaign strategy, execution, and performance insights, while also enhancing internal processes to scale our Paid Media function efficiently.

Accountability

As a Paid Media Manager, your success will be measured by your ability to drive high-performing campaigns, deliver clear and actionable insights, and build systems that scale across accounts. You’ll work across strategy, execution, and analysis, balancing attention to detail with the ability to zoom out and optimize for impact. Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

Campaign Strategy & Execution

• Plan, launch, and optimize high-converting campaigns primarily on Google Ads (Search, Display, Performance Max).
• Manage a portfolio of 8–12 accounts with daily optimization to meet KPIs such as Cost Per Lead (CPL), Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), and Click-Through Rate (CTR).
• Collaborate with your Paid Media peer to balance workload and maintain campaign consistency.
  

Performance Monitoring & Reporting

• Analyze campaign data to identify trends, surface insights, and proactively resolve issues.
• Own monthly reporting, delivering clear, actionable recommendations to clients and internal teams.
• Lead A/B testing initiatives on ads, bids, and landing pages, working closely with the Funnel Architect.

Communication & Collaboration

• Coordinate with account managers and creative teams to align messaging and campaign strategy.
• Participate in client communications (calls and emails) when results shift or new opportunities emerge.
• Translate complex performance data into plain-language insights for diverse audiences.

Process & Quality Control

• Develop and document repeatable wins, contributing to playbooks and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Improve account management systems to increase efficiency and scalability.
• Maintain strict attention to detail on tracking tags, UTM parameters, and campaign labels - ensuring flawless execution.
• Conduct regular audits to maintain campaign hygiene and system integrity, building scalable solutions, not just campaigns.

Colleagues

You’ll report directly to our client, and other stakeholders within the organization to drive campaign success and grow the overall business.

At Oceans, you’ll also receive guidance and support from our Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.

Skills & Qualifications

At Oceans, we believe in T-shaped individuals - those who bring deep expertise in one area, paired with broad curiosity and interests. As a Paid Media Manager, your vertical strength will be in Google Ads strategy and execution, while your horizontal strengths may include performance analysis, system-building, and stakeholder communication.

To excel in this role, you should have:

• Language Skills: Professional fluency in English with clear, client-ready written communication.
• Experience: 3–5 years managing Google Ads campaigns for B2C lead generation, overseeing $100K+ monthly ad spend. Experience running eCommerce Google campaigns will be an added advantage.
• Technical Mastery: Expert-level Google Ads skills (Search, Display, Performance Max), including conversion tracking via GA4, GTM, and call tracking tools like CallRail or WhatConverts.
• Analytical Strength: Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, formulas) and dashboard tools like Looker Studio.
• Project Management: Ability to prioritize and manage multiple accounts with calm organization under pressure.
• Strategic Thinking: Experience in building media plans and forecasts with confidence.

Diversity of experience is core to Oceans. You are expected to work inclusively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, ensuring that both personal and collective dignity are supported.

During the interview process, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your skills in the following areas:

• Campaign Execution: How do you prioritize and organize optimization efforts across multiple accounts? What’s your daily workflow like?
• Data Interpretation: Can you walk us through how you identified a performance drop or improvement in a campaign, and what actions you took?
• Communication: How do you explain campaign results or shifts in performance to a non-technical client or internal stakeholder?
• System Building: What improvements have you made to paid media workflows or reporting processes in past roles?
• Strategic Thinking: How do you balance short-term performance wins with long-term campaign scalability?

Role Specifications

This is a remote role, where you will be expected to work a split shift with some overlap with our client’s time zone. You will, however, be expected to be present for in-person training programs during your first 90 days with us. During the offer process, we’ll share more information about our benefits and compensation philosophy, considering both market trends and individual factors.
