Google Ads Optimization Specialist

About the role

This role is for a specialist who already runs accounts with confidence and is ready to take on more ownership of the outcome. You'll manage a portfolio of clients independently, backed by a strong team. As a Google Ads Optimization Specialist at Northline Collective, you'll focus entirely on squeezing more performance out of existing Google Ads accounts.

You'll work with a portfolio of ambitious international clients, collaborating across strategy, analytics, and creative — with the tools, budget, and trust to do the best work of your career. We value results and quality equally, and back that up with generous, competitive pay.

The team you'll join

Our Paid Search team lives and breathes Google Ads. We manage a nine-figure annual budget across Search, Shopping, and Performance Max for brands in 24+ countries — and we're obsessed with incrementality, not vanity clicks.

• Document findings to roll out across other accounts

What we're looking for
