PPC/SEA Manager

Lead Google Ads Strategy at a Hypergrowth DTC Brand

Our client is a fast-growing DTC e-commerce brand in the pet sector, and they’re doubling their marketing budget year over year.

They need a senior PPC strategist who can take complete ownership of their Google Ads account and scale performance from €2M to €4M+.

If you’re a Google Ads specialist who thrives in high-impact environments, this role could be your next big career move.

Why This Role is Different
You’ll have real autonomy. Most PPC roles involve reporting to someone who doesn’t understand the nuances of Google Ads. Here, you report directly to the Head of Digital Media—someone who gets the channel and trusts you to drive strategy without micromanagement. You’ll be a strategic partner, not a task executor.

You’ll work with serious budget. Many e-commerce teams operate with constrained budgets that limit testing and innovation. Our client is investing €4-5M annually across Google and Meta, giving you the resources to run sophisticated campaigns, test new audiences, optimise product feeds, and actually see results at scale. This is the kind of budget that separates good performance from exceptional performance.

You’ll be part of a real growth story. Our client has doubled revenue year-on-year and plans to do it again. This isn’t a stagnant role—it’s a chance to directly influence company-wide growth. When your campaigns perform, it visibly impacts the business. When you optimise product feeds and improve ROAS, you’re not optimising metrics in a spreadsheet; you’re fueling real business momentum.

You’ll have genuine career progression. The Head of Digital Media is moving into a broader growth leadership role next year, which means there’s a clear path for an exceptional PPC specialist to step up. You’ll build authority over the paid search channel and have the opportunity to shape how paid media scales at a growing brand.

The team is collaborative, not siloed. You’ll work across acquisition, CRM, data, and creative teams who actually want your input. Your team tests things (one team member is currently building a podcast initiative with full company backing). There’s a culture of exploration here, not just optimisation.

What You’ll Own
Complete Google Ads account management: Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Brand, Remarketing, Retention, YouTube
Product feed strategy via Google Merchant Center and Channable—catalogue quality, custom labels, feed optimisation
Performance dashboards, KPI tracking, and strategic recommendations to drive ROAS, CAC, and profitability
Cross-functional collaboration to align paid search with creative, brand, and web strategies
Agency management (UGC briefs, creative testing, feed optimisation)
You’ll be autonomous. You’re not asking permission to test bidding strategies. You’re not waiting for approvals to optimise campaigns. You have the expertise and the freedom to make strategic decisions and own the outcomes.

What We Need From You
Experience level: 4-5 years managing Google Ads at scale, preferably on the client side in DTC/e-commerce brands.
Must-have skills:
Deep expertise in Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Pmax campaigns)
Proficiency with Google Merchant Center, Channable (or Lengow/DataFeedWatch)
Strong grasp of acquisition mechanics: CPC, bidding strategies, audiences, conversion tracking
Comfort with profitability metrics and large-budget management
GA4 proficiency
Ability to work autonomously and communicate insights clearly
What will make you stand out:
Advanced Pmax experience (asset groups, signals, custom labels, enriched feeds)
Background managing substantial budgets (€1M+) for DTC brands

What’s In It For You
Salary: €50-60K based on experience (reflecting the seniority and impact of the role)
Bonus: ~5% annually
Regular raises: 3-5% annual salary increases as you grow into the role
Flexibility: Minimum 2 days remote per week
Great team culture: Young, dynamic, collaborative environment
Perks: Free product, meal vouchers, one annual company seminar
Location: Beautiful offices in central Paris, with flexibility to work hybrid if you’re the right fit
Growth trajectory: Clear path to a more senior position as the current leader moves into broader growth strategy
