Paid Search Jobs

Paid Search Analyst – Actively Hiring

Paid Digital Advertising Specialist at Hive Digital

Digital marketing is not just about mastering a paid advertising platform, but being able to link it back to a client’s business strategy. If you can do both in a flexible but collaborative environment with brilliant yet kind colleagues who know you have life outside of work, come forth and rejoice! For we are looking for an experienced PPC and paid advertising specialist for Hive Digital, a small scrappy agency looking to grow and trying to help change the world.

The role involves typical agency paid advertising work (duh): consulting with clients, performing advertising account audits, developing/overseeing strategy, coordinating implementation work across teams (internal/external), and sticking your nose to the grind when it counts. That means:

  • Familiarity with the Google Ads platform 
  • Ability to conduct report creation, tracking and analysis
  • Knowledge of keyword tool usage and research
  • Sorting conversion tracking and website tagging issues (yay!) 
  • Wearing many hats as needed to ensure the success of our clients and of our team, if that means writing ad copy or assisting in implementing conversion scripts. Nothing is beneath you if it needs to be done.
  • Pitching in on suggesting and implementing internal process and organization improvements
  • Training (and learning from) other members of the team: each member of our little fellowship of a company has our own unique skillset to share with others, and we expect you to take part
  • Is able to tailor our strategies, methods, and deliverables to each client’s needs.

What’s in it for you? Well, we only work with nice clients and will dump any who are nightmares, so you’ll hopefully never have to put up with bad client shenanigans. You also get a ton of autonomy with your clients in becoming a “remote CMO” for your clients who can link paid advertising back to core business strategy. That means in practice that you:

  • Refuse to be stuck on any single method or checklist
  • Can hold a discussion on multiple levels, the high level (customer journey, brand voice, SWOT analysis), mid level (budget allocations, performance goals, search vs display vs social vs video, A/B testing), and the nitty-gritty (Quality Scores, smart bidding, ad variations)
  • Can combine the skills needed to identify and tackle complex problems with the humility to know and ask when you need help
  • Are willing to gently but firmly push back on clients with wacky expectations or want you to do something for them that is not in their best interests. If a client tells you to jump, your response isn’t an automatic “How high?” but a “Can we take a step back and figure out if we need to jump at all?” 
  • Are a highly responsive and effective communicator who can build trust with our clients by doing exactly what you say you will do.
  • Are incredibly detail oriented and triple check your work.
  • Have a sense of humor (styles may vary), self-disciplined work ethic, a good moral compass, and enjoy healthy debate.
  • Are willing to be self-reflective on areas of strength and areas where you can improve.
  • Actually take an emotional investment in whether or not your clients are successful.
  • Can come up with a good meme roast for our head of business development on a regular basis

You’ definitely need the following:

  • Google Ads Certifications
  • At least a couple years of experience managing Google and Bing ad accounts
  • The ability to communicate well with a vast array of personalities
  • Ability to operate in a work from home environment

Earn bonus points by also having

  • Video and graphic design capabilities are a plus
  • Knowledge of Meta (Facebook), Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn platforms a plus
  • Agency experience
  • Shopping feed experience
  • Familiarity with Google Analytics (Certification)
  • Hubspot certification
  • Familiarity with A/B split testing and conversion optimization

We Offer (none of these are withheld from your paycheck, all benefits paid by the company):

  • Salary ranges based on experience and ability to promote, etc.
  • Full health, dental, vision
  • 2x salary life insurance policy
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • 401(k), though it isn’t matched at this time
  • FSA
  • Profit Sharing after 1 year of employment
  • Work from home (even after Covid goes away), though we typically do 1-2 “gatherings” each month for our local triangle-based NC team, and as possible with more remote members
  • Flex hours as long as clients are taken care of and you are meeting “goals”
  • PTO / Vacation — I think it starts at 14 days a year.. can’t remember as we aren’t sticklers if you are doing your job (see flex hours comments above)
  • Okay with some side projects as long as they don’t conflict or interfere… obviously we prefer to make it easy for you to bring outside clients in-house so you can have a life outside of work (tough lesson some of us are still learning!).  We can also appreciate some off-book experimentation 🙂
  • If you need a company car, private jet, or similar luxurious material stuff… sorry you’ve read too far, and should move on.

A few things that are deal breakers:

  • mean people not allowed, for obvious reasons
  • people without a passion (or desire to discover one)
  • people who aren’t interested in making the world a better place at some level… this may seem like a weird request, but we want people that desire to be a part of changing/helping something bigger than themselves…
  • people who have a problem if the company votes no to clients with porn, pills, poker, racists, egoists, “offensive” business models or reputations, etc.
