What We Are Not Looking For

To help focus the search, this role is not the right fit for:

Pure Google Ads operators with no interest or experience in automation or AI tooling

Pure developers or AI engineers with no hands-on paid search management experience

Candidates who have only used AI tools passively (e.g., using ChatGPT for occasional copy) without building any structured workflows

Onboarding & Team Context

The new hire will be brought into an existing portfolio of 1015 active dental practice accounts. Our Senior Paid Media Strategist is currently managing these accounts directly and will provide close day-to-day mentorship during the initial onboarding period. The expectation is a gradual handoff of account ownership as capability and confidence are established.

Over time, we expect this person to take a leading role in how automation and AI tooling are integrated into our Google Ads operations this is a build-as-you-go opportunity, not a rigid playbook execution role.

Suggested Candidate Assessment

During interviews, consider presenting candidates with a scenario such as:

Here are 3 dental practice accounts with these performance characteristics and this list of monthly manual tasks. How would you approach the immediate performance issues, and how would you begin reducing the manual workload over the next 90 days

• How a candidate thinks through both the tactical and the systematic parts of this question will be more revealing than resume credentials alone.
