About the role
Digital Neighbor is looking for an Ad Strategist to own paid media performance for a portfolio of client accounts. You will build, launch, and optimize campaigns across Google, Meta, and TikTok, and you will be the person the team trusts to explain what the numbers actually mean.
Every role here feeds one company goal: case studies produced each month. A case study needs a happy client who got results and stayed long enough to measure them. You own the results half of that.
What you'll own
- A book of roughly six client accounts, yours end to end
- Campaign builds and daily optimization across Google Ads (Search, Display, Performance Max, LSAs), Meta, and TikTok
- Ad spend managed exactly to plan each month, with no overspend and no significant underspend
- Conversion tracking and lead attribution that stay clean and defensible across paid and organic
- A one-paragraph status summary for every client each week, written so a non-technical teammate can relay it with confidence
- Quality assurance on every campaign setup, tracking configuration, and report before it goes live
You'd be a great fit if you are
- The person who checks spend pacing before their morning coffee, not because someone asked, but because a budget surprise would keep you up at night
- Someone who sees a rising CPA and feels a pull to diagnose it immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled review
- Comfortable owning your accounts fully, making optimization calls without needing approval for every bid change
- The kind of communicator who delivers bad news constructively, always pairing underperformance with a recommended path forward
- Genuinely curious about platform changes and new ad formats, and you test them before anyone asks you to
- More motivated by qualified leads and ROAS than by impressions
What you need
- 3+ years managing paid media campaigns, with Google Ads required and Meta strongly preferred
- Experience managing budgets from $3,000 to $20,000+ per month across multiple clients
- Real depth in Google Ads including Search, Display, Performance Max, and Local Service Ads
- Working knowledge of Meta Ads and Meta Events Manager: campaign setup, audience targeting, creative testing
- Proficiency in GA4, Google Tag Manager, and conversion tracking setup
- Experience with call tracking and attribution tools such as WhatConverts or CallRail
- Strong written communication, specifically the ability to make a complicated week sound clear in one paragraph
Nice to have
- TikTok, LinkedIn, or YouTube Ads experience
- Looker Studio dashboard building
- Zapier or similar automation for lead delivery and reporting
- Previous agency experience managing multiple clients at once
Your first 90 days
We ramp deliberately, because getting it right matters more to us than getting it fast.
- Week 1. Access, account walkthroughs, and shadowing. You touch nothing live.
- Days 8 to 30. Two accounts. Every change reviewed before it ships.
- Days 31 to 60. Four accounts. Spot-checked rather than fully reviewed.
- Days 61 to 90. Six accounts, fully yours.
Tracking and GTM changes always get a second set of eyes, permanently. That is not supervision. It is how we protect the work.
