Paid Marketing Specialist (Sem)

Google Guru: If you can make Google, Bing and YouTube bow to your will. If your keyword research is sharper than a surgeon's scalpel. If your Adwords wisdom runs deep, and you're passionately meticulous about ROI, then we have just the opportunity you've been waiting for…

AlgaeCal is looking for a whip-smart Media Buyer to knock our pay-per-click out of the park.

Small print here ⇒ We're an eCommerce company. So, we want you to have eCommerce experience. Lots of it. So if you don't love digital marketing the way cats love cream, you probably shouldn't read any further.

Still here? Okay then…

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we're driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they're scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world's only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If that excites you, you'll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

You'll love it here:

• You'll be working with a great team. The media buyers at AlgaeCal have been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. And the best part? They're friendly, funny, and easy to work with.
• You'll use your powers for good. This isn't one of those jobs that crush your soul with mindless tasks. On the contrary! You'll be overseeing a wide range of campaigns that spread a powerful message – bone loss is beatable.
• You won't be micromanaged. We'll give you a simple set of KPIs with crystal clear expectations.
• It's not a sweatshop (mostly because the AC works). If you recognize that line, you'll be relieved to know this isn't one of those horrible gigs that expects you to work ridiculously long hours and frowns upon family time. We're not like that! We enjoy our life, and we want you to enjoy yours too.

This job might be for you if you've got…

• A resume that proves you can run profitable pay-per-click campaigns. We look forward to hearing about some of your biggest winners.
• A proven ability to manage and optimize paid search campaigns.
• 4+ years under your belt overseeing profitable SEM campaigns.
• An encyclopedic knowledge of all the major platforms - especially Google Display, AdRoll and Bing.
• Youtube smarts! Show us how you've overseen successful ad campaigns from inception to completion.
• A hungry hippo approach to learning. You're always on the lookout for profitable keywords.
• A relentless pursuit of the most optimized campaign in the history of forever. Seriously, you're obsessed about optimization.
• A thick portfolio that demonstrates your mastery of all-things pay-per-click. Sorry, but if you have to Google what a 'CTR' is; or don't know what R.O.I. stands for, this isn't the position for you.
• A brain the size of Jupiter. Your audits are so deep-n-brilliant they're Nobel-worthy, and you're GREAT at delivering actionable insights based on campaign insights.
• A nit-picky personality. Every ad that you touch will be a testament to AlgaeCal's commitment to excellence. Your hawk-eye sees where every ad fits and how it flows. From top-of-the-funnel awareness to the decisive conversion point, you understand how to move an audience down the sales funnel, turning curious visitors into loyal customers. Every ad you touch is strategically optimized for its place in our funnel.
