Wpromote's B2B Paid Search team is growing, and we're hiring an Associate Director to own paid search strategy and execution for a portfolio of B2B clients across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
This is a senior individual contributor role. You'll carry a book of 3-5 accounts, be the person clients call when something matters, and be hands-on in the platforms. You'll also mentor the analysts and managers who support your accounts, but you won't have direct reports. If you want a role where you stop touching campaigns, this isn't it.
Our clients are growth-stage and enterprise B2B companies with real complexity: long sales cycles, multiple buying committees, and revenue that shows up in a CRM weeks or months after the click. The people who do this well think in pipeline, not conversions.
You Will Be
- Owning paid search strategy and performance across your portfolio, including forecasting, budget planning, testing roadmaps, and developing quarterly points of view that inform client decision-making
- Leading campaign architecture and ongoing optimization across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and SA360, including bidding strategy, audience layering, and thoughtful use of automation
- Designing measurement strategies that connect paid search investment to pipeline, not just form fills, through offline conversion imports, CRM feedback loops, and lead quality scoring
- Using performance and measurement insights to identify opportunities and confidently advise clients when a lower-cost lead does not necessarily represent a better-quality lead
- Translating performance data and strategic insights into clear, actionable recommendations for senior client stakeholders, including navigating challenging conversations when needed
- Maintaining a high standard of work across accounts through proactive QA, account health reviews, and clear quality standards for the team supporting you
- Mentoring and coaching junior team members through regular feedback, guidance, and opportunities to build greater independence
- Partnering closely with Client Strategy, Analytics, and Creative to ensure paid search is integrated with the broader client program and business strategy
You Must Have
- 6+ years in paid search, with at least 3 running B2B programs where lead quality and pipeline were the accountability, not MQL volume
- Direct experience with B2B measurement infrastructure: Salesforce or HubSpot integration, offline conversion imports, lead scoring, and multi-touch or incrementality frameworks. You should be able to explain what you do when the CRM data is messy, because it usually is
- Depth in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads at the architecture level: how you'd structure an account for a business with three products, six personas, and a nine-month sales cycle
- Experience with SaaS, fintech, HR/payroll, or similarly considered-purchase B2B categories
- Strong analytical instincts and fluency in GA4 plus at least one enterprise analytics or BI platform
- The ability to hold a point of view with a senior client who disagrees, and to change it when the data says you should
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and competing priorities across multiple accounts
Nice to Have
- Agency experience, or experience managing an agency
- Familiarity with ABM and intent data platforms (6sense, Demandbase, or similar) and how they inform search targeting
- Experience mentoring or formally managing paid search talent
