We're seeking a Paid Search Analyst to join our team in Johannesburg with a passion for digital marketing and data-driven decision-making. You'll manage day-to-day paid search campaigns across Google Ads and other search platforms, focusing on revenue and profit growth while maintaining budget discipline.

You'll leverage measurement expertise to identify implementation gaps and optimization opportunities, collaborate with Paid Search Directors on strategy development, and partner with Client Service teams on smooth campaign execution. This role requires translating data into actionable insights and stories that drive results.

Desirable skills include SA360, mobile app platforms (ACE & ACI), GA4, and AppsFlyer expertise. You should be analytical and data-driven, passionate about process improvement and automation, collaborative with diverse teams, and skilled at problem-solving.
