Paid Search Team Lead

Are you ready to use your in-depth paid search expertise to train, coach and lead others to drive excellent client results? We’re looking for a results-driven leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about developing high-performing teams. 

If you have a proven track record in paid search and coaching/mentoring others, and you're eager to drive impactful paid media strategies, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact! 

How will you make an impact?

As a Paid Search Team Lead, you’ll oversee a team of Paid Search Analysts and use your PPC/SEM and digital marketing expertise to help guide your team to execute strategic work for clients. Your leadership will provide learning and development opportunities for the Paid Search Analysts on your team as you coach them to provide excellent service to our clients.
