* Prepare and support weekly and monthly performance reporting.
* Join client calls and present campaign performance, insights, and next steps.
* Explain advertising strategy and performance in a clear and concise way.
* Respond to client questions and provide data-backed recommendations.
* Use AI tools and PPC management software to support analysis, reporting, campaign, optimization, research, and workflow efficiency.
* Clearly document optimizations, findings, tests, and recommended next steps.
* Stay current with Amazon Ads updates and advertising best practices.

Requirements
* At least 5+ years of hands-on Amazon PPC experience.
* Strong experience managing Amazon advertising accounts.
* Strong understanding of Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Brands Video, and Sponsored Display.
* Strong understanding of keyword targeting, product targeting, match types, search term harvesting, negatives, placements, bids, and budget management.

* Ability to communicate complex advertising topics in a simple, business-focused way.
* Comfortable using AI tools, automation, and PPC management software as part of day-to-day campaign management.
* Willingness to learn and adapt to new tools, platforms, and workflows.

Preferred Experience

Performance KPIs
Performance will be evaluated across account results, execution quality, client management, and strategic contribution.
1. Account Performance

* Identify declining performance early and take corrective action.
* Improve efficiency or scale spend where opportunities exist.

* Reduce unnecessary spend and continuously identify opportunities to improve campaign performance.

Target: Managed accounts meeting or progressing toward their agreed advertising objectives each month.

2. Optimization & Execution

* Regularly review search terms, keywords, ASIN targets, bids, placements, negatives, and budgets.

* Ensure campaign changes are properly documented.

Target: Planned optimizations and campaign tasks completed by deadline, with minimal execution errors.

3. Proactive Growth & Testing
* Identify new keyword, product targeting, category targeting, and campaign opportunities.

Target: 100% of reports delivered by deadline with accurate data

6. AI & Tool Adoption
* Effectively use approved AI tools, automation, and PPC management software to improve efficiency.

Target: Consistent use of approved tools and demonstrated improvement in workflow efficiency.

What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who can think beyond simply adjusting bids.

You should be able to look at an account and determine:
* Where there are opportunities to grow sales.
* Which keywords or targets should be expanded.
* Where advertising budget is being wasted.
* Which products should receive more advertising support.
* Why sales, conversion, or advertising performance changed.
* Whether performance issues are related to PPC, inventory, pricing, conversion, or other factors.
* What actions should be taken next.
* Where AI, automation, or PPC management tools can help improve efficiency and decision-making.

You should be comfortable managing campaigns independently, making data-backed recommendations, and confidently discussing those recommendations directly with clients.

Success in This Role
Success means consistently delivering against client advertising objectives, maintaining strong execution standards, proactively identifying growth opportunities, communicating clearly with clients, and managing accounts with minimal supervision.
