Role Objective
We are looking for an experienced, specialized Google Ads Media Buyer who has successfully launched and scaled Google Demand Gen (formerly Discovery) campaigns.
Please Note: This is not a general, standard PPC or search-only role. We specifically require someone with a proven track record of using high-impact visual creatives, audience segmentation, and algorithmic bidding to consistently drive profitable acquisition through Google's Demand Gen inventory (YouTube, Shorts, Discover, and Gmail).
What You’ll Do
- Own Demand Gen Strategy: Strategize, build, launch, and optimize high-budget Google Demand Gen campaigns from scratch to drive efficient customer acquisition.
- Creative-Led Media Buying: Collaborate closely with our Creative Strategists and Video Editors to define the specific visual assets (images, carousels, video, and Shorts) needed to feed the Demand Gen machine.
- Audience & Lookalike Architecture: Build and optimize lookalike segments, custom intent audiences, and first-party data lists to maximize the efficiency of Google's machine learning.
- High-Frequency Testing: Design, run, and document rapid creative and audience tests, moving quickly based on hard data (CTR, CPA, and ROAS) rather than "gut feelings".
- Performance Analysis: Analyze attribution, monitor platform performance daily, and clearly report actionable insights to the broader growth team.
- Budget & Bid Management: Masterfully manage Smart Bidding algorithms (Maximize Conversions, Target CPA, Target ROAS) to scale spend without eroding efficiency.
What We Are Looking For
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- 2+ Years of Proven Demand Gen Experience: Demonstrated success in structuring, launching, and scaling Google Demand Gen (and/or legacy Discovery) campaigns.
- Deep Google Ads Expertise: 4+ years of overall Google Ads experience, with a heavy emphasis on direct-response, conversion-focused campaigns (YouTube Ads, Performance Max, and Search).
- Creative-First Mindset: You understand that Demand Gen is a highly visual format. You know what makes a thumb-stopping hook, and you can partner with creatives to translate performance data into visual iterations.
- Data-Driven & Analytical: Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret attribution data, pixel health, and complex user journeys.
- High Ownership & Autonomy: Comfort operating in a fast-paced, async-first environment with minimal hand-holding.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience scaling budgets to 6 or 7 figures monthly.
- Strong understanding of tracking, GA4, GTM, and offline conversion tracking setups.
- Prior experience working in direct-to-consumer (DTC) or rapid e-commerce environments.
WORKING HOURS: REMOTE-FIRST & ASYNCHRONOUS
We prioritize output over hours. However, because this role is deeply integrated with growth cycles, we require strong overlap with US business hours (EST/PST) for real-time scaling and troubleshooting.
How To Apply
We value data over feelings. To apply, please submit your resume alongside a brief case study or overview highlighting:
- Your Demand Gen Experience: The exact budgets and scaling achievements you have personally managed within Google Demand Gen campaigns.
- Your Creative Process: How you test and structure your image and video assets to feed the Demand Gen algorithm.
