About the Role
We are looking for a SEM Lead or Senior SEM Expert to lead and scale our paid search strategy across our portfolio of apps. This is not a campaign management role. This is a technical, strategic, and revenue-driven position where Google Ads Search is the absolute core of the function.
Responsibilities
- ● Campaign architecture
- ● Budget allocation
- ● Profitability logic
- ● Scaling frameworks
- ● Signal quality & algorithm performance
- ● Your mission is simple: maximize revenue and efficiency from Google Search while building scalable and technically robust acquisition systems.
Requirements
- ● ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:
- ● Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Economics or related fields.
- ● Technical background in Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics or similar quantitative disciplines is highly valued.
- ● Strong analytical foundation with the ability to build dashboards, scripts, and data queries independently.
- ● TECHNICAL EXPERTISE:
- ● Deep, hands-on expertise in Google Ads Search (must-have).
- ● Strong knowledge of campaign architecture, keyword intent segmentation, match types, search term mining, and negative keyword frameworks.
- ● Solid understanding of Smart Bidding, conversion signals, tracking, and attribution.
- ● Ability to evaluate performance based on business metrics (CAC, LTV, revenue impact), not only CPC/CTR.
- ● Comfortable building dashboards, automations, scripts, or working directly with raw data (GA4, Looker Studio, BigQuery or similar).
- ● PROBLEM-SOLVING AND PRODUCT FOCUS:
- ● Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to resolve complex performance challenges.
- ● Strong business mindset - prioritizes profitability and unit economics over vanity metrics.
- ● Structured optimization approach (bid increases are not the first lever).
- ● Eye for detail and scalable systems thinking.
- ● Self-driven, entrepreneurial attitude with full ownership mentality over the Search channel.
- ● COMMUNICATION:
- ● Good level of spoken and written English.
- ● Ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Data, and Marketing teams.
- ● Capable of clearly explaining performance insights and strategic decisions.
Benefits
- ● Remote work from anywhere in Europe. If you are based in Barcelona, we would love for you to join us at the office (Barcelona Tech City) at least two days a week.
- ● Flexible working hours.
- ● Competitive compensation
- ● High-end equipment for your development.
- ● Permanent contract with competitive compensation.
- ● A young and top entrepreneurial team in a dynamic startup environment.
- ● Opportunity to lead, grow, and take on big challenges.
