Lead the strategic direction of Paid Search and AI advertising across international accounts. Develop cross-channel, full-funnel strategies, embed a testing-and-learning culture, evaluate emerging AI ad formats (including ChatGPT), provide client-facing strategic consulting, lead and mentor the SEA team, and drive pitches, presentations, and operational initiatives for scalable performance.
As an independent digital marketing agency with proprietary technology, we don’t view Paid Search in isolation, but as an integral part of modern growth strategies.
As Head of Paid Search & AI Advertising (f/m/d), you will take ownership of the strategic direction of our entire Paid Search practice while building our capabilities across emerging AI advertising channels. You will develop future-proof strategies for established search platforms as well as new AI-driven environments, including emerging advertising opportunities within ChatGPT and other platforms.
You will define best-in-class standards and ensure that testing, learning, innovation, and continuous improvement are firmly embedded in our day-to-day work.
You’ll operate in an international, remote-first environment with genuine strategic ownership and the opportunity to shape the future direction of our search and AI advertising offering. As our team includes both German-speaking and international colleagues, and we work closely with major corporations in Germany, the UK, and other international markets, full professional proficiency in both German and English is essential for this role.
