Job description

We're hiring a paid media manager who lives and breathes PPC.

Alpha Key Digital is a Cleveland-based digital marketing and advisory firm working with a focused roster of high-trust businesses — primarily in aesthetic medicine. We're not a volume agency. We take on fewer clients, go deeper, and tie our work to outcomes that actually matter: booked consults, recovered revenue, real growth.

We're looking for someone we don't have to manage. You'll own Google Ads and Meta campaigns end to end. We hand you a goal and a budget — you run with it. We care about cost per acquisition, lead quality, and revenue, not impressions or activity reports.

This is for you if:

• You open an ad account and immediately start hunting for what's leaking money
• You take a goal and just run — no queue of tasks, no manager checking in
• A CPA dropping or a campaign cracking profitability genuinely makes your day
• You read the data first and form an opinion second — you test, you don't guess
• You flag problems with a recommendation attached, before anyone has to ask
• You don't trust a campaign you can't measure cleanly

What you'll own:

• Google Ads (Search, PMax, Display) and Meta Ads, end to end
• Target CPA, lead volume, and lead-quality goals — the number is yours
• Keyword research, audience targeting, bid/budget optimization
• Ad copy, creative testing, and landing page recommendations
• Conversion tracking and attribution (GA4, GTM, call tracking)
• Clear reporting tied to business outcomes, not vanity metrics

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years managing Google + Meta at a professional level
• A track record of profitably scaling paid campaigns — real CPA/ROAS results you can speak to
• Proven ability to run accounts independently with minimal oversight
• Strong on conversion tracking, attribution, and tag setup
• Bonus: medspa / aesthetic medicine / healthcare or local lead-gen experience, and Google/Meta certs

The setup:

• Contract / freelance, fully remote, flexible
• Comp negotiable based on experience and scope
• Direct line to the founder and real autonomy over how you run your accounts
