Paid Media Growth Manager

Build the next stage of Paid Media at Convertix Italy Convertix is an international Search & Performance Marketing consultancy specialising in Paid Media, SEO, CRO and Analytics . We work with ambitious brands across 20+ countries and 10+ languages, helping them grow through integrated Search and Performance Marketing strategies. Our Italian business is growing, and we are looking for a Paid Media Growth Manager who wants to grow with it. We are looking for someone who understands Paid Media deeply, but thinks beyond Google Ads and Meta. Someone curious about the client's business, who looks for opportunities and wants to understand how to grow an account, not just how to optimise a campaign. The challenge Many Paid Media specialists are excellent executors. They can build campaigns, optimise PMax, adjust bidding strategies and prepare reports. But for this role, it isn't enough. We want someone who naturally asks bigger questions: Which countries, products or categories have the greatest growth potential? Can we scale budgets profitably? Is the problem really Paid Media, or is it CRO, pricing, feeds, tracking, creative or the landing page? Which new markets, channels or opportunities should we test? The role You will manage and grow Paid Media projects for Italian and international clients across eCommerce and performance-driven businesses. You will work directly with Google Ads, Meta and performance data, but execution is only one part of the job. Manage and optimise campaigns across Google Ads, Meta and other relevant platforms. Build testing, optimisation and growth roadmaps. Identify opportunities across budgets, products, markets and channels. Look beyond platform metrics to understand what is actually driving business performance. Identify CRO, feed, tracking, creative or landing-page opportunities affecting Paid Media performance. Proactively bring recommendations and new ideas to clients. You won't simply receive a list of tasks. We expect you to explain not only what happened , but why it happened and what we should do next . That means presenting recommendations rather than simply reporting results, asking the right business questions and constructively challenging existing approaches when the data suggests there is a better opportunity. You will also help shape how Paid Media develops at Convertix Italy, working with experienced specialists and senior Paid Media leadership across our international team. As the business grows, we want this role to grow too , with a clear path towards greater strategic and team responsibility. 4-5 years of relevant Paid Media / Performance Marketing experience. ~ Strong hands-on Google Ads experience. ~ Strong Google Shopping and Performance Max experience. ~ Good practical Meta Ads experience. ~ Experience with eCommerce and/or performance-driven accounts. ~ Strong analytical skills and understanding of GA4 and performance measurement. ~ Experience managing multiple clients and priorities. ~ Native Italian and strong professional English.
