Job description

Dear, Google Ads Specialist We’re Future Famous, and we’re looking for someone exceptional to lead our PPC department. Someone who understands that paid advertising isn’t just about spending money, but about generating real leads that convert into actual customers. Someone who treats client budgets like their own. Someone who absolutely loves what they do—who lives and breathes paid advertising with genuine passion. Someone who knows the difference between vanity metrics and metrics that matter. So now the question is, is that someone you?

Who we are

At Future Famous, we’re not just another digital marketing agency in South Africa. We’re a team of performance marketing specialists with a singular focus: generating high‑quality leads that become paying customers for our clients. Since (year omitted), we’ve worked with over (number omitted) businesses, managed more than R50 million in ad spend, and generated over R million in revenue for our clients.

By creating and perfecting our Lead Machine system, we combine:

• Google advertising (your specialty)
• Strategic funnel building
• Automated email marketing
• Sales CRM integration
• Conversion rate optimisation

We’re obsessed with real results, tracking everything and showing our clients exactly how we’ve grown their business. That’s why we maintain a 4.5x average return on ad spend and a 12% lead‑to‑sale conversion rate. Our mission is clear: triple the sales of companies by (missing verb).

What you’ll be responsible for

• All aspects of Google Ads and YouTube Ads – launching, reporting, optimizing, and scaling in line with client KPIs
• Media buying across our 35+ clients (and growing)
• Client communication on daily operations, onboarding, and monthly strategy calls
• Account optimisation with a strong command of performance metrics
• Leading the PPC team to hit and exceed targets

Qualifications & Experience

• Google Advertising Experience – Minimum 2 years managing search, display, and video campaigns with proven success in lead generation
• Numbers‑Focused Analysis – exceptionally strong with data analysis, interpreting metrics and making strategic decisions based on performance data
• Client Communication Skills – excellent communication to speak directly with clients, explain campaign performance, and build confidence in our strategies
• Team Leadership Abilities – responsible for leading and developing a team of PPC specialists, with proven management experience
• Results Delivery Focus – consistently hit or exceed client KPIs and optimise campaigns for maximum ROI

You’ll thrive here if

• You genuinely LOVE paid advertising – the kind of love that makes you think about Quality Scores when you wake up
• You see yourself doing this for the long haul because it's more than a job—it’s your craft
• You share our core values: honesty, hard work, extreme ownership, and obsession with lead generation
• You measure success by lead quality, conversion rates, and client growth
• You have the confidence to lead – manage a team, represent our agency to clients, and make strategic decisions under pressure
• You’re a perpetual learner – excited by the changing digital landscape rather than exhausted by it

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: R20 – R45 k per month based on experience and results
• Remote‑First Environment: work from home with flexibility, without micromanagement or constant supervision
• Real Career Growth: clear path to leadership as we expand domestically and internationally
• Work With Proven Systems: leverage our Lead Machine framework, already generating R+ million in client revenue
• Continuous Learning: access to premium training resources and courses to keep your skills cutting‑edge
• Team Camaraderie: quarterly company weekend getaways and monthly in‑person meetups
• Agency Success: part of an agency with 4.5x average ROAS and 12% lead‑to‑sale conversion
• Meaningful Impact: see your work translate to client growth – no vanity metrics, just real results
• Professional Development Budget: resources allocated specifically for your growth and skill enhancement

Position Package

• Salary Range: R20 – R45 k per month (experience dependent)
• Work Hours: 8 am – 5 pm
• Location: Primarily remote with in‑person team meetups in Dainfern, Fourways (minimum twice monthly)
