About the role

We’re hiring a Google Ads Manager to run client accounts end to end. You’d manage 20 to 30 accounts independently: strategy, optimisation, reporting and the client relationship. It’s a real seat with real ownership, not a support role.

We care more about how you work than how much Google Ads you already know. We can teach the Ads. We can’t teach being organised, accountable and great with clients.

The one thing that matters most: you genuinely love PPC. You find this stuff interesting, you keep up with it, and you want to get better at it. If that’s not you, this isn’t the role.

What you'll do

  • Manage 20 to 30 Google Ads accounts independently.
  • Own the client relationship: updates, reporting and keeping people in the loop.
  • Hit performance targets and grow account results over time.

What we're looking for

  • Client-facing and confident dealing with people directly.
  • Organised, meticulous and genuinely detail-oriented.
  • Accountable: you take responsibility and follow through.
  • A tidy, dependable way of working.
  • At least 2 years hands-on managing Google Ads accounts.

Nice to have

  • Google Search certifications
  • Any other Google Ads training courses or certifications

What we offer

  • Fully remote, with flexible hours around an agreed start time.
  • An AI-first agency: you’ll use tools and workflows most agencies haven’t touched yet, and help shape how we use them.
  • A young, driven team with a genuinely good culture: low ego, high standards.
  • Support for the courses and certifications that make you better at this.
  • Performance incentives and recognition, regular team socials, and team-building twice a year.
