About the role

Google Ads Sr. Strategist

Department: Paid Media / Performance Marketing

Reports To: Chief Strategist

Type: Full-Time

Preferred Location: Miami (Hybrid)

About the Role: This is a senior-level oversight role on high-spend ecommerce accounts. You won't be building campaigns or pulling reports day to day. Instead, you'll act as the strategic layer above one or more Media Buyers, running frequent mini-audits, diagnosing account health, and setting the direction on when accounts should push for scale versus tighten for efficiency. You'll delegate reporting and execution work to your Media Buyer(s) so your time stays focused on strategy and judgment calls. This role suits someone who has already spent years in the weeds of Google Ads (Search, PMax, Shopping, Demand Gen) and is ready to operate at a higher altitude — reviewing accounts critically, spotting what a buyer might miss, and coaching them toward better decisions.

What You'll Do:

Account Oversight & Mini-AuditsRun recurring mini-audits (weekly/bi-weekly) across a portfolio of high-spend ecommerce accounts, reviewing budget allocation, campaign structure, bidding strategy, and creative/feed health
Identify misallocated spend, underperforming segments, zero-conversion waste, and missed reallocation opportunities
Flag account risks before they become client-facing problems
Strategic Direction
Determine when an account should pivot toward scale (expanding budget, testing new campaign types, broadening targeting) versus efficiency (tightening targeting, cutting waste, protecting margin)
Evaluate the account holistically across the full campaign mix rather than judging individual campaigns in isolation — understanding how Search, PMax, Shopping, and Demand Gen interact and support one another before recommending changes
Push accounts toward genuine new customer acquisition rather than allowing performance to lean on easy, low-effort conversions from branded search terms
Set quarter-over-quarter and month-over-month strategic priorities for each account
Advise on Search, PMax, Shopping, and Demand Gen strategy specifically, including channel mix and budget shifts between them

Monitor daily pacing towards goals, and work with the media buyer to pivot when needed. Media Buyer Management Delegate reporting, data pulls, and routine optimization tasks to Media Buyer(s), reviewing their output rather than producing it yourself Coach Media Buyers on execution quality, catching errors and skill gaps early Translate high-level strategy into clear, actionable direction the Media Buyer can implement Client & Cross-Functional Communication Communicate strategic rationale to internal stakeholders and, where needed, directly to clients Partner with attribution/analytics resources to ensure account decisions are grounded in accurate performance data (e.g., properly crediting top-of-funnel activity via multi-touch attribution) Assist the Account Director and Chief Strategist in preparing client-facing communications, including talking points, strategic narratives, and QBR/audit presentations Support client meetings and presentations as needed, providing account-level detail and answering tactical questions the Account Director or Chief Strategist can't speak to directly

What We're Looking For:

6+ years managing Google Ads for ecommerce accounts, including meaningful experience at high monthly spend levels ($500k+/month)1+ years of client facing experience, co-presenting on calls and communicating effectively with clients
Deep, current expertise across Search, Performance Max, Shopping, and Demand GenTrack record of making scale-vs-efficiency tradeoff calls under real budget and margin pressure
Ability to assess account performance holistically — reading a full campaign portfolio rather than optimizing individual campaigns in a vacuum
Strong bias toward new customer acquisition, with a critical eye for accounts that look healthy on paper but are propped up by branded search conversions
Experience reviewing or auditing someone else's account work, not just building your own
Comfort delegating and managing a Media Buyer's day-to-day workload without micromanaging
Strong grasp of attribution concepts (click vs. view-through, multi-touch models) and how they affect strategic decisions
Sharp, structured communicator — able to explain "why" behind a strategic call to both a media buyer and a client

Nice to Have:

Experience with Windsor.ai, NorthBeam, or similar cross-account reporting/attribution tools
Agency background managing a portfolio of brands rather than a single in-house account
Experience building or reviewing client-facing audit decks

Compensation: $90,000–$130,000 annually

Final compensation will depend on experience, qualifications, and overall fit for the role.

Benefits: Full-time W-2 employees are eligible for company-sponsored medical coverage, with Mirasma covering 100% of the employee-only premium. Dental and vision coverage are also available, along with employer-paid basic life and long-term disability insurance. Benefits begin after a 60-day waiting period and are administered through ADP TotalSource.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
