Job Description

What you’ll be doing

The SEM Specialist plays a key role in driving performance for our automotive dealer clients through Google Ads. You'll own and manage a large portfolio of 100+ accounts, mostly car dealerships and automotive businesses, many of them small and mid-sized. You'll make sure each one is set up well, optimised, and delivering against its goals, and you'll be the main point of contact for clients on how their account is performing.

Success comes from managing many accounts efficiently and knowing where to focus, without losing sight of each client's needs. You'll be part of a small, close-knit team, so you'll need to be confident running accounts on your own and bringing fresh ideas to how we work. You'll have plenty of support, but we're looking for someone who can see what an account needs and get it done.
