Role
Who you are
- 3-6 years of hands-on experience running paid search campaigns in Google Ads, including Performance Max and international account structures
- Proven experience managing large-scale budgets and multi-market search remits, with a strong track record of driving efficiency and growth across complex account structures
- Strong familiarity with SA360 or similar tools for campaign management at scale
- Proven ability to drive growth through paid search with efficient customer acquisition and solid ROAS
- Comfort working with conversion proxy signals, predictive optimization, and LTV-based performance models
- Deep understanding of search campaign mechanics, auction dynamics, and performance levers across funnel stages
- Excellent analytical skills - you know your way around reporting tools and love pulling your own insights
- Agency experience is welcome, provided your role was hands-on and focused on real performance outcomes
- Proactive, detail-oriented, and ready to roll up your sleeves to make an impact
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a highly hands-on Paid Search Manager (full-time) to own and scale our paid search efforts across non-brand, brand, and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns in Vienna or London (remote).
- This role is central to our performance marketing team and is focused on driving efficient new customer acquisition through smart, data-backed decision-making
- You’ll work directly with the Head of Performance Marketing and will be responsible for end-to-end execution - planning, building, optimizing, and scaling search campaigns in a complex global account setup. If you love being deep in the platform, testing constantly, and using data to fuel growth, this one’s for you
- Take full ownership of paid search campaigns across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and PMax—planning, launching, managing, and optimizing every detail
- Operate across multi-market, multi-language accounts, adapting strategy and messaging to varied customer journeys
- Use Search Ads 360 (SA360) for campaign management, automation, reporting, and cross-platform optimization
- Focus on non-brand acquisition efficiency, while also managing brand terms and driving incremental value from PMax campaigns
- Design and test conversion proxy strategies that optimize toward mid-funnel and low-funnel micro conversions and predictive value
- Collaborate closely with analytics to measure click cohort LTV, apply performance insights, and make data-informed optimization decisions
- Navigate multi-touch attribution models to better understand true contribution and guide bidding and budgeting strategies
- Proactively share insights, identify new growth opportunities, and regularly report on performance, learnings, and next steps
- Partner with internal teams (analytics, content, creative, product) and external agencies as needed to ensure alignment and performance
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Finding the best tours when traveling can be tough, with an enormous amount of marketplaces and conflicting information making the process overwhelming. Whilst comparison sites exist for single-day tours to help make the booking process easier, no such solution has currently arisen for multi-day adventure experiences.
TourRadar provides an online multi-day tour comparison marketplace, partnering with tour providers and marketplaces to list a variety of multi-day adventure experiences such as hikes, safaris, festivals, and sailing trips. The marketplace includes a variety of booking customization features such as a 'create your own' adventure option, as well as offering sustainable travel guidance and 24/7 customer service.
Whilst the company will face significant competition from travel marketplace giants such as Kiwi and Tripadvisor, TourRadar has been wise to find its niche in multi-day tours and experiences. Through its user-friendly customization and comparison features, the company aims to reduce the logistical complexity of booking multi-day tours and increase access to lesser-known experiences.
