This person will be responsible for the ongoing planning, development, implementation, management and optimisation of paid search channels for Linktree, driving acquisition and user growth globally.
You will work in our Growth team and report into Hannah and alongside a Paid Social strategist. (if you are a social specialist and reading this ad, we have another role for you on our career page). You will own Linktree’s spend across Google Ads, Google Display Network, YouTube Advertising and any other search platforms when required.
This is a hands on role so you will be setting up campaigns, analysing and reporting of the overall funnel, highlighting key trends and insights back into the business.

An LA office should be coming later in 2021, once Covid allows it.
