About The Position

BlueTuskr is a full-service e-commerce growth agency built exclusively for e-commerce brands. We combine paid media, SEO, creative, and analytics to help our clients scale profitably. Our team is made up of specialists who are deeply invested in their craft — and in the success of the brands they serve. This isn't a "jack of all trades" environment. We hire people who are exceptional at what they do, then give them the resources and autonomy to do it well. We're looking for a Search Advertising Lead who is exceptional at paid search — and ready to take full ownership of the channel across a portfolio of e-commerce clients. This is a hands-on role for someone who has spent years managing Google and Microsoft Ads campaigns and brings the strategic instincts to match their executional depth. You'll manage client accounts directly, drive performance across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube, and Display, and serve as the go-to search expert within a growing, cross-channel team. You'll be the person clients trust to tell them the truth, make the call, and back it up with data. This role is ideal for someone who is energized by meaningful, measurable work — and who wants to operate at a company that actually holds itself accountable to results.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in paid search advertising (Google Ads required)
3–5 years of agency experience
3–5 years of e-commerce or D2C experience (agency or in-house)
Proven track record managing direct client relationships
Experience managing a small team or contractors
Relevant Google Ads certifications
Strong proficiency in Google Sheets and reporting platforms (Databox is a plus)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Ads
Familiarity with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics
Comfort with attribution complexity (blended ROAS, incrementality, etc.)
Experience with Asana, Slack, or similar project management and communication tools
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Nice To Haves

You lead with data, not opinions. When something isn't working, you diagnose it systematically. When something is working, you scale it with conviction.
You're a strong communicator. You can walk a client through a rough month and leave them feeling informed and confident — not managed.
You think like an operator. You understand that ad spend is business capital, and you treat it that way — with urgency, care, and commercial clarity.
You stay current. Platform changes don't catch you off guard. You know what's working now, not just what worked six months ago.
You're direct. You tell clients and colleagues the truth. You don't over-promise, and you don't under-deliver.
You're detail-obsessed. You catch what others miss — in data, in strategy, and in the work you put your name on.
