Paid Search Manger

Paid Search Manager

Magic believes that numeracy is the key to combating global misinformation. Our key to solving this lies in our in-house mathematics, data analysis and free-thinking expertise to help quantify the root cause of problems and challenges…we just happen to buy media.

We are all a little crazy, a little quirky, and a little unconventional, but it’s people like us, the curious ones, that will be able to make a real difference. And as such, we are on the hunt for another bright mind to join the Magic collective - specifically in Paid Search.

We value the craft of managing Paid Search accounts to drive disproportionate value back to our clients.

We don’t know everything, but what we do know is that to be successful working at Magic, you must:

1. Ask Why Pulling the thread of ‘why’ as far as it can go.
2. Give a damn Be proud of everything you touch.
3. Be Brave Use data to make decisions, both big and small. 

If you tick those boxes, please continue reading.

Before we get into the juicy stuff, here is a little more about us.

We believe that our employees and our methodology are the most important things in the world. Without our incredible teammates, Magic would not be the award-winning agency it is today.

We show this by:

1. Having a culture committee committed to building a genuine culture - Hiring voice actors to host Dungeon and Dragons sessions - Having mindfulness competitions to win some pretty snazzy prizes - and much more…
2. Free coffee, snacks, food - all the time. - Yep, free barista coffee around the area (we are just off Greville St and Chapel St) - Healthy food and snacks to keep that brain ticking (healthily) around the clock
3. The Magic Academy. - We want to upskill your data and mathematics capabilities - no matter your base. - Learn regression, non-linear regression and some pretty cool statistics as a baseline.
4. Flexible WFH Conditions. - We understand that WFH can make things a little easier. - Everyone at Magic WFH on Mondays and Thursdays to jump into deep work, leaving only Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday to collaborate, talk, and socialise…
5. Mindfulness and Mental Health - These are intrinsically linked, and we want to do our utmost to support this. - Free Calm Meditation Access - 1x no questions asked Mental Health Day to do whatever you want

For 2024, we are introducing a bunch of new initiatives - so be sure to ask us more…

Anyway, where was I? Oh, right, yep, the job description.

Key responsibilities:

• Create and execute tailored paid media plans for a diverse clientele of renowned household brands.
• Implement search processes where required to help the performance team run efficiently
• Optimize campaigns to help businesses scale with a data first approach
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Drive client strategies across Google Ads, Microsoft and Amazon Ads
• Lead client WIPs to report on performance and provide insights/learnings and recommendations.
• Stay ahead of Search updates and ensure the wider team are up-to-speed with all major opportunites

If our three points (Ask Why, Give a damn, and Be Brave) resonate, and you like the vibe we give - then the next part is where we ask what we need to jump into the Magic ethos.

This role as Paid Search Manager sits in our Performance Team. You will report directly to an Account Director and will help manage a team underneath you. You will, however, still be in the platforms flexing your Paid Search skills on the reg.

The successful candidate will be data-driven, and data-led and know the Search platforms inside out. They will have a significant amount of experience managing large media spends in platforms across a range of enterprise clients - bonus points for large eCommerce retailers with silly amounts of SKUs.

3+ Years of Platform Experience:

You have 3+ years of experience in high-performing Paid Search accounts - with your hands in the dirt, driving incredible, data-driven results.

Enterprise/High-Budget Accounts: Experience managing millions of dollars of spend is critical. This matters because you have set processes in place to manage, scale and perform - and you can build, manage and optimise complex accounts with multitudes of budgetary levers.

Datability:

You understand the inner workings of the platforms, but you also know how to export data, clean it, translate it and apply it to your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Team Management:

You have managed a team and know how to delegate and upskill your team members while ensuring your work gets done. Seeing your team grow, progress, and hit its goals gets you off.

Other Platform Experience:

You bring expertise that goes beyond Paid Search. This may be affiliates, native, content or CRO.

Wow, we made it through that looooooooong job ad.

Think this suits you? Have what it takes? Then please apply - we’re pumped!
