You know the satisfaction of finding that extra improvement everyone else missed. Now imagine proving its impact on revenue and turning one success into better results across an entire portfolio.

At Auto iQ, you'll have the technology, proven systems and support to do your best work, with the opportunity to test new ideas, lead a team and help shape how we deliver PPC.

The job

You'll manage your own accounts and lead the PPC team, taking responsibility for delivering the results we promise our clients.

You'll learn our proven system, then use your expertise to challenge and improve it.

Stay ahead of the game

You'll have your own development plan, with opportunities to develop the PPC team and expand into other paid channels as we grow.

• Looking ahead: anticipating performance problems and acting early.
• Technical expertise: using conversion tracking, Google Ads Editor and scripts.
• Other paid channels: delivering results through Microsoft Advertising or Meta.

You'll need a current Google Ads Search certification. Display and Video are a plus.
