• Owning both strategy and execution across a portfolio of lead gen and e-commerce clients
• Bringing at least 5 years of hands‑on Google Ads experience
• Working confidently across both e-commerce and lead generation
• Presenting reports and insights to clients in a clear, commercially sensible way
• Running client calls and handling client queries confidently and professionally
• Building and maintaining reporting dashboards in Looker Studio
• Using Google Tag Manager and GA4 to support accurate measurement and performance analysis
• Managing and optimising Google Merchant Center
• Handling conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting as a core part of the role
• Working confidently in Google Sheets, including formulas, logical analysis, and troubleshooting
• Analysing performance and turning data into clear actions and priorities
• Identifying growth opportunities across campaigns, tracking, landing pages, feeds, and account structure
