HR Ways seeks a Senior Ads Manager to own a cluster of paid media accounts in Google, Microsoft, and Meta. You will drive strategy, tracking, and optimization while leading a team of Paid Media Executives and Assistant Managers. Expect budget responsibility and direct client interactions from day one.
You will coordinate weekly performance calls, ensure accurate reporting, and mentor your team to deliver sustained CPL improvements. This is a hands-on leadership role in Lahore, on-site.
Paid search is the fastest lever on our clients' lead volume. This role owns a cluster of client accounts end-to-end: strategy, execution, optimization, tracking, and the team that delivers it. You report to the Senior Ads Manager and run your cluster as its single accountable owner.
A defined account cluster. Named clients where you are the single owner of paid performance. The monthly managed spend ranges from $300,000 to $500,000
A team. Paid Media Executives and Assistant Managers reporting to you, with authority over their training, standards, and reviews, and hiring input for your cluster.
Budget authority. Pacing, bid strategy, and reallocation decisions within client-approved budgets are yours. Structural budget changes go through the Senior Ads Manager.
Client relationships. You lead weekly and monthly performance calls for your accounts.
Paid media strategy and results across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta Ads for your cluster
Cost per qualified lead, in dollars, per account against documented baselines
Accurate, validated conversion tracking and reporting: clients must never doubt the numbers on your accounts
Launch QA within your cluster: no campaign goes live without verified tracking and sign-off
Team development: structured reviews, skill-gap plans, and delegation that builds future managers
Structured testing: audiences, creative, landing pages, with documented learnings shared across the department
Department-level standards and cross-cluster strategy. The Senior Ads Manager owns those; you enforce them within your cluster and feed improvements upward.
SEO and organic. You collaborate with the SEO Manager through the shared blended CPL metric per client.
VIP strategy direction, where the Senior SEM Manager sets it; your team executes the paid side and you own execution quality.

Day 60: Corrections live. QA checklist enforced on every launch. First client calls led by you.
Day 90: Measurable CPL improvement on at least two accounts. Team review cycle running. One documented system or workflow improvement shipped.

This role is the direct feeder to Senior Ads Manager. Readiness is reviewed at months 12 to 18 against cluster results, team maturity, and system strength. The path is real: the department is growing, and we promote owners.
You operate campaigns but avoid owning outcomes,
you need constant supervision,
or you dodge hard performance conversations with clients or your team.
