The Skills We’re Looking For
These skills are listed from most important skills to least important.
- Search. This is where you’ll spend time every day. You should be an expert (official or not), comfortable with every part of the platform, and have an eye for data.
- Landing Pages. You should be versed in building landing pages, setting up conversion events, optimizing conversion rates, A/B testing, and writing basic, convincing copy.
- Display & YouTube. You don’t need to be a complete expert, but advanced knowledge of best practices in these areas will stand you in good stead.
- Analytics + Events. We’re only as good as the results we report on. You should be comfortable with GA4 and event tracking via Google Tag Manager.
- Spreadsheets. We’re scaling fast, and so should your spreadsheet skills. You should be able to create clean spreadsheets with semi-complex formulas without breaking a sweat.
You’ll stand out if
These skills aren’t a necessity, and our eventual successful candidate may not possess them - but they’ll help you stand out
- You've worked with B2B demo call funnels and freemium-to-premium customer acquisition strategies. Our clients are almost entirely software companies, so experience with shopping and local is great but not relevant for us.
- You’ve worked in the tech sector and with startups. Our clients are funded, Seed and Series A startups. They thrive at the heart of the US tech sector and you’ll succeed best if you understand their culture, how they work and how they think.
- You have landing page development skills with Webflow. You don't need to be an expert, but be comfortable with the platform, have an eye for design, and can implement changes without oversight.
The Right Person For This Role:
- You have an eye for detail and a dependency on data. You’ll be making frequent changes across our client’s campaigns and sites, so an eye for detail is essential to maintain campaign optimization.
- You’re not new to paid customer acquisition. While we can teach you our methods, you’ll do best in this role if you already have PPC experience and opinions.
- You’re autonomous and a doer. You move fast and don’t spend too long fretting over every detail before getting to work. You thrive on solving problems and want autonomy to solve them your way.
- You’re well-informed. You actively keep up with new changes in technology, whether that’s PPC or otherwise.
- You’re organized. With so many clients, there are always several challenges to solve and changes in play. You’re comfortable organizing your own tasks and putting processes in place to make sure you don’t drop the ball.
