The Digital Marketing Recruiters

Digital Marketing Recruiters has been in the digital marketing and recruitment space for over 25 years. We work with highly skilled marketing, digital marketing, and sales professionals and match them with our clients from diverse industries across the United States. Our selection process incorporates comprehensive resume screening, shortlisting, conducting video-recorded interviews and providing client information, administering written assessments (if required by the client), arranging client interviews, and facilitating job offers and placements.

The Client

The client is a digital marketing agency based in Nelson, New Zealand, working with small to medium businesses across a range of industries. They specialize in Google Ads and focus on driving real results that matter to their agency clients.

The Role

The client is looking for a capable, independent Google Ads Specialist to help them manage and scale agency client campaigns—someone who knows their way around the tools, thinks critically, and takes initiative.

They use Slack, Monday.com, Google Meet, ChatGPT, MS Office, and Google Sheets/Docs to collaborate and communicate. Familiarity with any of these tools is helpful but not required. You'll be expected to communicate clearly and professionally with both the team and agency clients—no jargon, just plain English. They’ll provide onboarding support and access to past reports, notes, and campaign history so you’re set up for success from day one. They keep things simple, do things properly, and value honest, clear communication—both internally and with their agency clients. Your hours of work will be flexible, and we think work/life balance is very important. Working Philippine business hours is an option.
