• Own Performance Max campaigns, understanding when and how to deploy them alongside traditional search to maximize coverage and efficiency
• Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar) to speed up everyday tasks like drafting ad copy variants, building keyword lists, summarizing performance, and structuring reports
• Stay current on how AI is reshaping search - including Performance Max, AI Overviews, and Smart Bidding - and bring a point of view on what it means for how we work
• Reduce repetitive manual work over time by building more scalable workflows, even if that starts simple
• Analyze campaign performance regularly and generate clear, actionable insights for cross-functional stakeholders and leadership
• Build and maintain dashboards that give real-time visibility into pipeline contribution, CAC, ROAS, and channel efficiency
• Design and execute A/B tests on ad copy, landing pages, and bidding strategies with statistical rigor; communicate results and scale winners
