Account Manager (Paid Search Marketing) - PPC Force | San Diego, CA
This is a performance-driven role for natural leaders who take ownership of everything they touch. You'll manage a portfolio of real estate investor clients, build paid media campaigns that generate qualified seller leads, and obsess over the metrics that separate good from great.
You'll drive strategy, control the process, and make data-driven decisions that directly impact your clients' bottom line. Every client is different-some need education and guidance, others push for aggressive growth. You need to read the situation quickly, adjust your strategy on the fly, and find the path to results even when algorithms shift.

- Own client relationships and serve as their trusted advisor, leading strategy discussions and delivering results
- Strategize, manage, and optimize high-performing PPC campaigns across Google Ads, Bing Ads, Meta Ads, and YouTube
- Turn data into action by analyzing performance, identifying what's working, and pivoting strategy to maximize ROI and ROAS
- Report on campaign performance with a laser focus on lead quality, conversion rates, and client profitability
- Translate complex data into compelling narratives that clients understand and act on
- Lead with confidence even when clients are skeptical or campaigns underperform-you know how to navigate tough conversations
- Ask the tough questions that others avoid because you know that's where the real insights live
- Manage budgets effectively, prioritizing what matters and executing flawlessly
- Collaborate with creative, copy, and web teams to ensure aligned, high-converting deliverables
- Set ambitious targets for yourself and compete with your own performance to keep raising the bar
- Crush quotas by hitting monthly targets that separate the best from the rest
- Stay ahead of industry trends, algorithm updates, and new ad tools to maintain your competitive edge
