Job description

Founded in 2017, refurbed is Europe's fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 23 European countries and having surpassed €2Bn in GMV - all while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for four consecutive years. Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you'll feel at home here. We're a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we're remote-first).

Paid search is one of refurbed 's largest growth levers, with a high eight-figure annual budget across 23+ European markets. For our SEA team we are looking for an SEA Manager (f/m/x) to own Google Ads and Shopping for a portfolio of country accounts, and to help us grow in new categories beyond consumer electronics, such as home appliances and e-bikes. You will report to the SEA Team Lead and work closely with our Markets team, Category Marketing and Supply.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have 2-5+ years of hands‑on experience in Google Ads (Performance Max, Shopping, Search and DemandGen), ideally in-house at an e-commerce or retail business.
• Other search engines are a plus.
• You have relevant certifications in Google's Skillshop.
• You worked with feeds before such as GMC custom labels, feed rules, disapprovals and tools such as Channable, Productsup or similar.
• You have confident, hands‑on proficiency in Google Analytics, Ads Editor and Business Intelligence tools such as Looker studio/Tableau.
• SQL knowledge is a plus.
• You're curious, enjoy testing new approaches (e.g. automations, scripts, new ad formats) and stay on top of Google's product updates.
• You are strong with data. Spreadsheets are part of your daily work, and you want to understand what the data tells you as well as its limits.
• You solve problems from first principles. When a campaign underperforms, you find out why before you change settings.
• You use AI tools and automation to work faster but you check the output, implement feedback loops, and work to automate repetitive tasks.
• You are confident with stakeholders and a strong communicator.
• You can explain results clearly to market, category and supply colleagues.
• Your English is fluent.
• Another European language is highly desirable.

Location & eligibility

This role is open to candidates based in Europe (including UK) only with a valid right to work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own SEA and Shopping for a portfolio of country accounts: campaign structure, feeds, bidding and budgets, in line with market goals and our incrementality measurements.
• Be the go‑to partner for your markets' teams on paid search priorities, local search trends and competitors.
• Support the SEA Team Lead on multi‑category: build growth cases and test plans with Category Marketing, and turn learnings into set‑ups, playbooks and reporting the whole team can use.
• Roll out category changes in your own accounts and help colleagues roll them out in theirs.
• Build performance reporting for our Supply team and brand partners.
• Cover colleagues' accounts during absences, using shared runbooks, alerting and quality checks.
• Automate repetitive set‑up and reporting so new categories and markets do not mean more manual work.
• Share your learnings with the team and contribute to our test roadmap.
• Work with Google and Microsoft partner teams on new formats and betas.
