Key Responsibilities
  • Define and Lead SEM Strategy: Own the vision, roadmap, and execution for Gametime's global SEM program largely in Google Ads but also in Bing Search, and emerging platforms.
  • Performance Leadership: Deliver growth and efficiency through advanced bidding, segmentation, and automation frameworks aligned with company revenue and margin goals.
  • AI forward approach: strong curiosity and drive in exploring how different AI based solutions can drive improved relevancy and efficiency in paid search

  • Scale & automation: Work with Data Science and Engineering to develop internal tools, automation pipelines, and performance dashboards that enhance decision-making.
  • Google Partnership: Serve as Gametime's primary liaison with Google to access betas, co-develop testing pilots, and inform product feedback loops.
  • Team Development: Lead and mentor a team of SEM managers and analysts, fostering a culture of analytical rigor, curiosity, and operational excellence.
  • Measurement & Insights: Partner with Analytics to refine attribution models, incrementality testing, and reporting frameworks that drive transparency and strategic clarity across channels.
  • Collaboration Across Channels: Align SEM strategy with CRM, Paid Social, SEO, and Lifecycle teams to ensure an integrated acquisition strategy across the funnel.
Key Skills
  • Deep understanding of Google Ads and SEM automation, including bid strategy optimization, audience layering, and advanced account architecture.
  • Advanced analytical fluency, comfortable with SQL, large datasets, and advanced experimentation frameworks.
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to translate data and experiments into high-impact business decisions.
  • Proven ability to influence across marketing, analytics, product, and executive leadership.
    Excellent communication and leadership skills; able to motivate teams and articulate clear strategies.
  • Passion for live events and the power of performance marketing to connect fans to experiences.
Requirements
  • 8+ years of experience in SEM, with at least 3 years in a leadership role managing teams and large-scale budgets.
  • Proven record of scaling world class SEM programs to eight-figure spend while improving efficiency and ROI.
  • Experience in large catalog based eCommerce businesses such as online travel, retail or live events 
  • Experience managing experimentation and automation roadmaps in partnership with technical teams.
  • Background in marketplaces, ticketing, or high-velocity e-commerce environments preferred.
