Job description

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

About the role

We're hiring a Google Ads Media Buyer to own and scale paid search for a high-growth DTC e-commerce brand. You'll independently run six-figure monthly Google budgets, drive profitable growth, and work directly with the founder on strategy. This is a senior seat, not a junior or mid-level role.

What you'll do

  • Own Google Ads strategy and execution end to end across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube
  • Manage $150K to $200K+ per month in Google Ads spend for the brand, scaling ROAS while protecting efficiency
  • Build repeatable systems and processes for testing, reporting, and optimization
  • Translate performance data into clear, actionable insights
  • Partner with the creative team on testing frameworks and ad assets
  • Identify growth opportunities and turn them into strategy
  • Lead strategic conversations and reporting directly with the founder

Requirements

What we're looking for (must-haves)

  • Proven experience managing $150K to $200K+ per month in Google Ads spend on a single brand (not portfolio or combined totals)
  • Hands-on DTC e-commerce experience: Shopify, Shopping campaigns, and Performance Max for online retail
  • Track record with 8 to 9 figure revenue brands (not small startups or info-products)
  • Agency experience - Nice to have
  • Google Ads as your primary channel and core expertise (Search, Shopping, PMax, YouTube). This is not a Meta-led or generalist multi-channel role
  • A senior, self-directed operator who runs accounts independently with no hand-holding
  • Native-level English for strategic calls with US founders
  • Confident and polished in client-facing settings (calls, reporting, strategy discussions)
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into decisions

Nice to have

  • Agency or multi-brand experience
  • Familiarity with attribution tools such as Triple Whale or Northbeam
  • Experience working alongside Meta buyers or full-funnel teams
  • A demonstrable track record of scaling ROAS and reducing CAC

Benefits

  • Remote Working for US Company
  • Exposure to new technology & trend
  • Competitive Salary
