Position Summary The Search+ Ops Group is hiring for a Director-level position, to grow the team's specialized services for our client-teams and their performance clients. This role is one that requires a mix of technical skills, a consulting or service-design mentality and approach, and the ability to deliver superior operational excellence quietly as a solo Operator.
The team performs work that enables Agency client-teams to focus on the account/campaign strategies and actions that produce client results - we deliver the needed technology. We do not run an account/campaign, but ensure that the technology and systems are integrated properly; that tracking and templates are in place; and that a SERP click delivers the customer to the targeted client site (along with the intended tracking, tagging and other metrics recorded cleanly).
The small and productive team comes from a background of media management (paid search), operations, and client services. We communicate clearly, perform work that is effective and efficient, and solve problems without input from others. The work we perform requires rapid responses and actions, and successful results. We collaborate to crowd-source ideas and share insights, but the work is generally performed by the Operator.
Responsibilities Some functions provided by this role include:
Required Skills & Experience Some of the skills that we apply include:
