If so, we want you at SOS Media Corp!
As a Digital Ads Manager, you'll manage paid advertising for a portfolio of client accounts, spanning local, national, and international clients across industries from HVAC to hospitality to retail.

Who We Are

What You'll Do
- Manage and optimize paid advertising campaigns across Google Ads, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), LinkedIn, Spotify, TikTok, Pinterest, and other platforms for a portfolio of 18-20 client accounts, assigned based on account complexity and hours required.
- Pitch and develop ad strategy for your accounts, with oversight and support from our Digital Marketing Directors.
- Execute Google Search, Display, PMAX, Shopping, and Video ad campaigns with clear objectives.

- Manage client ad budgets to maximize ROI within approved strategies.
- Implement audience targeting strategies using Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other PPC platforms.

- Implement tracking and conversion pixels using Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (GA4), and Meta Pixel.
- Assign and direct ad creative with our in-house design, video, and content team, leading the creative direction rather than just receiving finished assets.
- Use AI tools to support tasks like ad copy drafting, performance reporting, and creative variations, as one of several tools that help you work more efficiently.
- Communicate directly with clients to present campaign results, insights, and recommendations.
- Work with tools including Basecamp, Zoho, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Opteo, CallRail, and Microsoft Clarity, plus access to stock imagery and video libraries, with openness to new tools as the industry evolves.

- Willingness to obtain Google Ads Certifications (Search, Display, Video) within your first 3 months, required for our Google Partner status. Certification not required at time of application.
- Working knowledge of Google Analytics (GA4), Google Tag Manager, and Data Studio.
- Solid experience with Google Search, Display & PMAX Ads, and Meta Lead Generation Ads.
- Meta Business Manager/Suite proficiency for managing paid social campaigns.
- Familiarity with Spotify Ads and TikTok Ads Manager.
- Experience with conversion tracking and data attribution across multiple platforms.
- Intermediate-advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills for data analysis, budget management, and reporting.
- Ability to execute full-funnel marketing strategies based on client objectives (lead generation, brand awareness, e-commerce sales, etc.).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret data and make informed decisions.
- Strong writing skills for creating compelling ad copy and CTA-driven messaging.
- Excellent time management and the ability to juggle multiple campaigns for various clients.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively, managing multiple accounts and shifting priorities at a fast pace.
