Google Demand Gen Media Buyer

Role Objective: We are looking for an experienced, specialized Google Ads Media Buyer who has successfully launched and scaled Google Demand Gen (formerly Discovery) campaigns. Please Note: This is not a general, standard PPC or search-only role. We specifically require someone with a proven track record of using high-impact visual creatives, audience segmentation, and algorithmic bidding to consistently drive profitable acquisition through Google's Demand Gen inventory (YouTube, Shorts, Discover, and Gmail). What You’ll Do: Own Demand Gen Strategy: Strategize, build, launch, and optimize high-budget Google Demand Gen campaigns from scratch to drive efficient customer acquisition. Creative-Led Media Buying: Collaborate closely with our Creative Strategists and Video Editors to define the specific visual assets (images, carousels, video, and Shorts) needed to feed the Demand Gen machine. Audience & Lookalike Architecture: Build and optimize lookalike segments, custom intent audiences, and first-party data lists to maximize the efficiency of Google's machine learning. High-Frequency Testing: Design, run, and document rapid creative and audience tests, moving quickly based on hard data (CTR, CPA, and ROAS) rather than "gut feelings". Performance Analysis: Analyze attribution, monitor platform performance daily, and clearly report actionable insights to the broader growth team. Budget & Bid Management: Masterfully manage Smart Bidding algorithms (Maximize Conversions, Target CPA, Target ROAS) to scale spend without eroding efficiency. What we are looking for 2+ Years of Proven Demand Gen Experience: Demonstrated success in structuring, launching, and scaling Google Demand Gen (and/or legacy Discovery) campaigns. Deep Google Ads Expertise: 4+ years of overall Google Ads experience, with a heavy emphasis on direct-response, conversion-focused campaigns (YouTube Ads, Performance Max, and Search). Creative-First Mindset: You understand that Demand Gen is a highly visual format. You know what makes a thumb-stopping hook, and you can partner with creatives to translate performance data into visual iterations. Data-Driven & Analytical: Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret attribution data, pixel health, and complex user journeys. High Ownership & Autonomy: Comfort operating in a fast-paced, async-first environment with minimal hand-holding. Communication: Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills. Nice to Have Experience scaling budgets to 6 or 7 figures monthly. Strong understanding of tracking, GA4, GTM, and offline conversion tracking setups. Prior experience working in direct-to-consumer (DTC) or rapid e-commerce environments. WORKING HOURS: REMOTE-FIRST & ASYNCHRONOUS We prioritize output over hours. However, because this role is deeply integrated with growth cycles, we require strong overlap with US business hours (EST/PST) for real-time scaling and troubleshooting. HOW TO APPLY We value data over feelings. To apply, please submit your resume alongside a brief case study or overview highlighting: Your Demand Gen Experience: The exact budgets and scaling achievements you have personally managed within Google Demand Gen campaigns. Your Creative Process: How you test and structure your image and video assets to feed the Demand Gen algorithm.
