Job Description

About the Role

The Paid Search team is looking for a Senior Paid Search Strategist to lead the strategy, execution, and ongoing optimization of paid search campaigns across several Squarespace product lines, primarily focused on new and fast-growing business areas such as Domains. This role is ideal for a strategic and autonomous marketer who is energized by the challenge of building something new. You'll play a key role in bringing campaigns and new strategies to the team. We are looking for not only SEM expertise, but also a strong grasp of process development, cross-functional collaboration, and operational ownership. This is a full-time hybrid position based in our New York office, reporting to the Paid Search Channel Manager.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead SEM campaign strategy, reporting, and execution for high-priority product lines such as Domains.
  • Bring new campaigns to life—from intake to launch—including identifying gaps, defining goals, aligning measurement plans, and building new processes where needed.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across teams to ensure campaign strategy reflects business priorities, incorporates partner feedback, and evolves based on learnings.
  • Lead cross-functional tests and initiatives, partnering with Analytics, Product, Localization, and Frontsite teams to pilot new approaches and scale what works.
  • Develop and implement streamlined workflows that improve operational rigor and transparency as paid search support expands into newer product areas.
  • Shape budget planning and forecasting, leveraging data and input from cross-functional partners.
  • Analyze campaign performance and surface actionable insights that inform tactical shifts and broader marketing strategy.
  • Ensure reporting accuracy and data integrity across performance dashboards and recurring reports.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3-5+ years of experience within Paid Search.
  • Strong hands-on experience navigating and independently executing within the Google Ads and Bing platforms.
  • SA360 experience is a plus.
  • Strong comprehension of testing best practices, smart bidding strategies, and an appetite to drive testing initiatives from start to finish.
  • Experience operating in fluid environments where the playbook is still being written.
  • Strong communicator who can clearly articulate strategy, surface risks or needs, and collaborate across marketing, analytics, and product teams.
  • Ability to build new processes, especially where cross-team input is required.
  • Comfort working with data, identifying trends, and developing clear, actionable insights.
  • Experience with Looker is a plus.
  • Bonus: experience managing international SEM campaigns.

Nice to Have

  • Experience managing international SEM campaigns.

Qualifications

  • Educational background is not explicitly specified, but at least 3-5+ years of relevant experience in Paid Search is required.

Benefits & Perks

  • A choice between medical plans with an option for 100% covered premiums.
  • Fertility and adoption benefits.
  • Access to supplemental insurance plans for additional coverage.
  • Headspace mindfulness app subscription.
  • Global Employee Assistance Program.
