Job description

This is your chance to work alongside some of the best in the digital advertising industry and B2B SaaS space. We’re looking for an individual who enjoys being challenged, is a lifelong learner, and takes pride in delivering results for clients.

Our team is primarily based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but we encourage candidates from across Canada to apply. The successful candidate can expect to earn between $65,000-$85,000 CAD/year—depending upon relevant skills and experience—as part of a complete, competitive package.

Role & Responsibilities

As an Associate, Paid Search at Outshine, you work on various engagement teams to lead our clients’ paid search digital advertising strategies and programs, focusing on continuous improvement, experimentation, and results.

With expertise across platforms like Google Search, Display, Discovery, YouTube, and Microsoft Ads, you'll drive impactful paid search advertising initiatives.

The Technical Stuff You’re Really Good At

• Campaign strategy & planning: You develop paid search strategies based on client goals and needs, audience research, and competitive analysis.
• Ad & budget management: You adjust tactics and budgets to optimize clients’ campaigns to reach and deliver against goals.
• Testing & optimization: To refine results, you test different ad copies, bids, and targeting options (like location, demographics, and timing).
• Performance analysis: Leveraging analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, Looker), you track campaign performance, measure KPIs, and identify trends. You create reports to help clients understand ROI and campaign effectiveness.

What You Prioritize When Working In Teams

• Client service: As one of the go-to contacts for your clients, you build trust and rapport by meeting deadlines, proactively problem-solving, and conveying information clearly.
• Communication & collaboration: You focus on building strong and trusting relationships with your internal teams and client partners.
• Knowledge sharing: You’re an active contributor to your broader teams and inspire continuous learning and development through sharing ideas, research, and skills.

Minimum Requirements

• 3+ years experience in paid search digital advertising and measurement platforms, including Google Ads, Display, Discovery, YouTube, and Microsoft Ads.
• Experience managing complex projects and fostering relationships with clients and stakeholders.
• Experience working within paid social advertising platforms (Meta and LinkedIn) is an asset.
• Experience in B2B or SaaS marketing is an asset.
• Experience in an advertising or marketing agency is an asset.
• Knowledge of modern CRM/marketing automation tools, such as HubSpot and Salesforce, is also an asset.

To be the best fit for this role, you’re:

• Detail-Oriented: Hyper-focused on the details and their impact on the bigger picture.
• Optimistic & Collaborative: You maintain a positive outlook in challenging times, and leading teams to solve tough problems motivates you.
• Proactive: You prioritize forward momentum on projects and in your own development.
• Analytical: You exhibit a probing mind and draw insights from data.
• Growth-Driven: You believe talent and performance can be developed through effort and persistence.
• Efficient: You produce significant output, avoiding wasted effort where possible.
• Honest & Ethical: You don’t cut corners; you do what is right, not convenient.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we don’t make any mistakes about that. We invest massively in our team, offering:

• Competitive vacation time, your birthday off, and two days/year of volunteer paid time off.
• Family or single enrolment in our group health and dental plan (we pay 80%, you pay 20%).
• Additional health benefits, including a $350/year wellness budget, an employee assistance program, and flexible working hours.
• RRSP matching up to 3% of your salary.
• Extensive training opportunities, both internal (i.e. mentorship program) and external (i.e. individual allowances for attending conferences, participating in relevant courses, etc.).
• Monthly cell phone allowance.
• Parental leave support and benefits, including a 100% salary top-up for the first 12 weeks of leave and uninterrupted access to health and dental benefits.

Outshine's office space is located in Halifax's North End, and we have embraced a hybrid work model where teammates can choose the work arrangement that’s best for them—remote, in-office, or both.
