Job description

Fully remote within the DACH time zone. Must live and be allowed to work in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Native-level German.

Stop Hiding Behind Dashboards. Own the Room.

Most media buyers want to sit in a dark room, tweak CPCs, and avoid client calls. If that’s you, close this tab immediately.

We are hiring on behalf of a 100% remote, powerhouse DACH performance agency with a track record of over 500 e-commerce success stories. They don't need another introverted button-pusher; they need a Senior Google Ads Account Manager who commands respect and controls the narrative.

Picture this: A high-value client is panicking because their ROAS dipped. Instead of sending a timid, defensive email, you jump on a call, de-escalate the tension, pivot the strategy, and casually upsell a Klaviyo retention campaign before hanging up. You are the definitive client owner, seamlessly balancing €5k–€50k monthly ad spends with proactive, high-energy communication.

The Absolute Non-Negotiables

We are not flexible on these requirements. If you do not meet every single criterion below, your application will not be considered.

• Native German Fluency: Flawless written and spoken German is a hard dealbreaker.
• Agency-Side E-Commerce Veteran: 3+ years managing Google Ads for multiple e-commerce clients at an agency. Pure in-house marketers will not survive this pace.
• Front-Line Communicator: You must be highly extroverted, capable of leading challenging client conversations, and obsessed with churn prevention.
• Hands-On Execution: You must actively build and optimize campaigns. "Hands-off" managers unwilling to touch the tools need not apply.

The Payoff: Autonomy & Reward

You won't be micromanaged. You will be given the keys to high-value accounts and the absolute freedom to run them from anywhere in the German-speaking region.

• The Compensation: €60,000 – €85,000 base salary, tailored to your exact firepower.
• The Upside: Aggressive, retention-linked bonus schemes. You keep the clients happy, you get paid.
• The Lifestyle: 100% remote (DACH time zone) with maximum autonomy, flexible probation, and standard statutory vacation (minimum 20 days).
• The Future: Prove your worth, and you will carve out a direct pathway to build and lead your own internal team.
