Paid Search Specialist

Airtable Airtable · Enterprise · United States · Remote · Demand Generation

Airtable is seeking a Paid Search Specialist to manage and optimize paid search campaigns across Google and Microsoft Bing Ads. The role involves end-to-end execution, keyword strategy, bidding infrastructure evolution, and running experiments to improve ROAS. The ideal candidate has deep SEM expertise, technical fluency in conversion tracking and bidding strategies, experience in product-led growth environments, and an analytical, hypothesis-driven mindset. While the role mentions an 'AI-centric mindset' for using AI tools to enhance work, the core responsibilities are in paid search marketing, not direct AI/ML model development or deployment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own end-to-end execution and performance of paid search campaigns across Google and Microsoft Bing Ads, including in-platform management of budgets, bidding, and keyword refinement
  2. Lead non-brand category expansion across key use cases (CRM, project management, workflow automation, etc.), from keyword planning to launch to optimization
  3. Regularly analyze performance and deliver weekly performance updates and testing briefs, making ongoing recommendations across spend, bidding, keywords, targeting, and landing pages
  4. Execute structured experiments, clearly document learnings, and drive continuous improvement in paid search performance
