Senior Google Media Buyer (Contract, Full-time)

MVR Digital•Chicago, IL

1d•$4,800 - $5,000•Remote

About The Position

MVR Digital is a performance marketing agency recognized by Adweek as one of the Fastest Growing Agencies. We manage paid media for growth-stage DTC and e-commerce brands spending $100K to $1M+ monthly across Meta, Google, TikTok, and more. We're remote-first with roots in New York, Denver, and Canada. Our clients come to us after being burned by agencies that overpromise. They stay because we own outcomes and tell them the truth. You'll manage Google Ads campaigns across multiple e-commerce and DTC accounts, working closely with strategists and client success. This role is non-client-facing, but it's not purely executional either. We want someone who understands Google's ecosystem well enough to have opinions. You know when the campaign structure is working against the algorithm, when Performance Max is cannibalizing Search, and when the bidding strategy needs a reset. You bring that thinking to the team, and you execute on it with precision. EST hours preferred, with required overlap from 10 AM to 1 PM EST. As the agency scales, strong buyers get access to larger and more complex accounts.

Requirements

4+ years of hands-on Google Ads buying experience for DTC or e-commerce brands
Deep expertise across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube, including the strategic rationale behind each
Strong understanding of Google's machine learning systems and how campaign structure decisions affect them
Experience managing accounts with $100K+ monthly ad spend across multiple accounts simultaneously
Ability to diagnose performance issues at the structural, bidding, and creative level
Solid command of GA4, GTM, conversion tracking setup, and attribution windows
Current on Google platform changes and able to translate them into account decisions
E-commerce background
You work autonomously and follow through without reminders
You bring observations and recommendations, not just status updates
You communicate clearly in writing in an async-first environment
You flag performance shifts before they show up on someone else's radar
You know Google well enough to push back when the structure or strategy isn't right
You can spot whether underperformance is a bidding problem, a structure problem, or a tracking problem
You flag issues before they show up in client calls
You want a focused role with a high-caliber team and room to grow into more complex accounts
You've managed multiple accounts and know how to keep each one sharp without letting anything go stale
