We’d love to hear from you if:

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you qualify, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.

As a Paid Search Senior Specialist, you will plan, build, and optimize Paid Search and Shopping programs that drive efficient client growth. You’ll execute high-quality campaign management, translate performance data into clear actions, and apply automation and Bliss Point insights to reduce waste and improve outcomes. You’ll set and deliver Rocks with directional KPIs, collaborate across Analytics, Creative, Product/Bliss Point, and Client Leadership, and mentor junior teammates. We align scope and expectations to our job architecture for consistency and transparent progression.
