Senior Paid Media Strategist - Ecommerce

Helium SEO • Cincinnati, OH

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

Helium is hiring a Senior Paid Media Strategist to own strategy and execution for some of our most complex e-commerce accounts across paid search and paid social. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports - reporting to our Paid Media Team Lead.

Requirements

• Deep, current e-commerce paid search expertise — this is the anchor requirement. Google Ads required, Microsoft Ads a plus
• 3+ years hands-on paid media experience — enough to have a real foundation in e-commerce search, not just general exposure
• Genuine client-facing polish : confident, capable of running client meetings solo, comfortable being the expert in the room
• Ability to learn fast and perform in front of clients immediately — this role doesn't have a long ramp before client exposure starts
• Strong working paid social skills (Meta required)
• AI fluency in bidding/optimization/creative testing is a strong plus; if you're not there yet, genuine eagerness and speed to learn is the minimum bar
• Currently and actively hands-on in the platforms today — not someone who's moved into oversight and lost the day-to-day edge
• 3+ years hands-on paid media experience
• Currently, actively hands-on in the platforms today, with a genuine want to stay that way even in a leadership seat
• Agency experience strongly preferred
• Confident and skilled in senior client-facing conversations

Nice To Haves

• AI fluency in bidding/optimization/creative testing is a strong plus

Responsibilities

• Own strategy and execution for a portfolio of ecommerce accounts, including complex, multi-line businesses (e.g., wholesale/B2B-style catalogs)
• Run paid search as your core strength, with enough paid social depth to run it independently
• Apply AI tools for bidding, optimization, and creative testing, and keep learning as they evolve
• Lead client meetings as the strategic voice in the room — this isn't a background-execution role
• Flag account risk early and partner with the Team Lead on QBRs

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits package (up to 90% coverage for health, dental, vision, life)
• Simple IRA with employer match
• Unlimited paid time off after 90 days
• Pet-friendly office for those in Cincinnati. Those not in the area will join our fully remote team.
