[Hiring] Paid Search Specialist @Leap Tools

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Paid Search Specialist with 3–5 years of experience to own and scale paid search performance across a large, multi-client portfolio. You will manage multiple client accounts in an agency-style environment, with a strong focus on generating high-quality leads. This role is for you if you thrive on execution, enjoy solving performance problems, and take pride in running effective paid search programs at scale.

What you’ll do

• Strategy & Performance: Create and present effective SEM strategies that drive results for clients.
• Campaign Execution: Own daily account management, optimization, and troubleshooting, including setting up campaigns, GTM, conversion tagging, and negative keywords.
• Lead Quality Control: Implement and maintain conversion tracking (calls, forms, offline conversions). Rigorously control lead quality through match types, negatives, audience layering, landing page alignment, and bid strategy selection.
• Creative: Write compelling, conversion-focused ad copy, headlines, and descriptions aligned with client goals and landing pages.
• Reporting & Measurement: Build and maintain clear performance reporting using Looker Studio. Monitor core KPIs and proactively define action plans for optimization based on data.
• Client & Internal Communication: Act as the primary client-facing expert, translating complex performance data into clear, non-technical explanations. Manage expectations and collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth campaign operations.
• Process & Automation: Utilize automation and AI tools to speed up workflows, optimize processes, and ensure efficient onboarding. Use project management tools (ClickUp, Google) to manage tasks, priorities, and deadlines across accounts.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in Google Ads lead generation (phone calls & form fills).
• Experience building Looker Studio reports for clients.
• Proven experience managing multiple client accounts simultaneously in an agency or portfolio environment.
• Strong understanding of account structure, intent mapping, and performance diagnostics.
• Conversion tracking and lead quality control mechanisms (match types, negatives, audiences).
• Budget pacing and optimization.
• Proficiency managing Meta Ads.
• Comfortable operating with structured workflows, SOPs, and dashboards.
• Proactive mindset - identifying and addressing issues before they impact clients.
• Strong prioritization skills and comfort with managing multiple projects.
• AI and automation savvy; experience using ClickUp or similar project management tools is preferred.
