About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on, analytically minded Paid Media & Analytics Specialist who can take a campaign from strategy to launch to measurable business results. In this role, you will plan, build, manage, and optimize campaigns across Google's advertising stack (Campaign Manager 360, Display & Video 360, Google Ads) and Meta Ads, while owning the measurement foundation that proves what's working: tagging, conversion tracking, attribution, and automated reporting.
You'll be the person who knows both sides of the equation - how to get the right ad in front of the right audience, and how to track, attribute, and explain the results. You'll work across multiple clients and workstreams, turning performance data into clear recommendations that technical and non-technical stakeholders can act on.
What You'll Do
Paid Media Activation
Plan, launch, manage, and optimize paid campaigns across CM360, DV360, Google Ads, and Meta Ads.
Define and build campaign structures, including campaigns, ad groups, and keyword selection and strategy.
Develop audience targeting strategies (first-party, lookalike, in-market, contextual, remarketing, and custom audiences) aligned to campaign objectives.
Set up and traffic ads, including creative assets, ad formats, placements, and tracking parameters.
Manage campaign budgets and pacing, reallocating spend across channels, campaigns, and tactics based on performance.
Optimize in real time across targeting, bidding strategies, account structure, and ad types to improve efficiency and outcomes.
Digital Analytics & Measurement
Build and maintain KPI frameworks that connect campaign activity to business goals.
Measure campaign performance and conduct in-depth analysis to identify trends, opportunities, and risks.

Implement and manage tags, triggers, and variables in Google Tag Manager (GTM).
Deploy and maintain tracking pixels, tags, and conversion integrations across advertising and analytics platforms.
Troubleshoot and resolve tracking issues to ensure data is accurate and complete.
Cross-Domain & Conversion Tracking
Configure cross-domain tracking so user journeys are captured accurately across websites and properties.
Set up end-to-end conversion measurement, from ad click or impression through to final conversion.
Business Intelligence & Reporting
Develop automated, scalable dashboards in Looker Studio for internal teams and clients.
Deliver actionable insights - not just numbers - that inform optimization and investment decisions.
Attribution & Performance Analysis
Apply attribution methodologies to understand how each channel contributes to conversions.
Analyze customer journeys and measure campaign effectiveness across channels.
Translate attribution findings into recommendations on budget allocation and channel mix.

Lead client meetings and performance reviews.
