Senior Media Strategist, Paid Search - Domains

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.

We're looking for someone who brings confidence and clarity in communication and comfort navigating ambiguity. If you're passionate about performance marketing, motivated by cross-team impact, and eager to shape go-to-market strategy for newer offerings, we'd love to meet you.

This is a full-time hybrid position based in our New York office, reporting to the Paid Search Channel Manager

You'll Get To...

• 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 we expand paid search support 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 both tactical shifts and broader marketing strategy.
• Ensure reporting accuracy and data integrity across performance dashboards and recurring reports.

Who We're Looking For

• Minimum of 3-5+ years of experience within Paid Search.
• Strong hands-on experience navigating and ability to independently execute 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—and the initiative to help write it.
• 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 to deliver high-quality SEM support.
• Comfort working with data, identifying trends, and developing clear, actionable insights; experience with Looker is a plus.
• Bonus: experience managing international SEM campaigns.
