About the role

We are looking for a Performance Marketing Lead (Google & Microsoft Ads), to lead and scale our advertising across the Ruby Labs portfolio.

This is a senior player-coach role. You will own Google Ads and Microsoft Ads execution across multiple brands, coach and develop acquisition managers, set account standards, improve performance, and protect account health across a large multi-brand setup.

You will be responsible for scaling spend profitably across Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, YouTube, and Microsoft Ads. You will conduct regular account audits, identify missed opportunities, and make sure every brand is using Google and Bing to their full potential.

This is not a reporting-only leadership role. You need to stay close to the accounts, understand the details, and be able to challenge strategy, structure, bidding, compliance, measurement, and execution yourself.

We also work AI-first. You will own the Google and Bing acquisition knowledge base inside Claude, including playbooks, audit frameworks, prompts, automations, QA checklists, and repeatable workflows that help the team operate faster and better.

• Ability to identify scaling opportunities and practical account improvements from account-level data.

• Clear, direct communication with both acquisition managers and senior stakeholders.

• Experience managing enterprise-level search accounts or large multi-brand paid search portfolios.

• Experience with Google Ads scripts, Google Ads API, SQL, or internal automation tools.

• Experience building team knowledge bases, SOPs, QA systems, and training programs for paid acquisition teams.

• D2C subscription, lead-gen, or consumer web funnel experience.

• Experience with high-scrutiny categories, trademark-sensitive ads, or complex policy environments.

• Experience working directly with Google or Microsoft teams on betas, product pilots, and escalation paths.
