  • Foundational skills in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads - including keyword research, campaign setup, and basic optimization.

  • Analytical mindset with comfort working in spreadsheets and performance dashboards.

  • Strong organization, attention to detail, and proactivity when managing multiple tasks or accounts.

  • Clear communicator who can explain platform updates or performance trends in simple terms.

  • Someone looking to grow and build their career as the company continues to expand.

What's In It For You

  • 4.5-day work week with a flexible hybrid model.

  • Modern offices in Toronto & Ottawa with free coffee, snacks, and wellness spaces.
