Senior Paid Media Strategist - Ecommerce

Senior Paid Media Strategist - E-commerce

Helium is hiring a Senior Paid Media Strategist to own strategy and execution for some of our most complex e-commerce accounts across paid search and paid social. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports - reporting to our Paid Media Team Lead.

• Own strategy and execution for a portfolio of ecommerce accounts, including complex, multi-line businesses (e.g., wholesale/B2B-style catalogs)
• Run paid search as your core strength, with enough paid social depth to run it independently
• Apply AI tools for bidding, optimization, and creative testing, and keep learning as they evolve
• Lead client meetings as the strategic voice in the room — this isn't a background-execution role
• Flag account risk early and partner with the Team Lead on QBRs

• Deep current e-commerce paid search expertise, including Google Ads (required) and Microsoft Ads (a plus)
• 3+ years hands‑on paid media experience, focused on e‑commerce search
• Genuine client‑facing polish: confident and capable of running client meetings solo, and comfortable being the expert in the room
• Ability to learn fast and perform in front of clients immediately—no long ramp required before client exposure
• Strong paid‑social skills, especially Meta (required)
• AI fluency in bidding, optimization and creative testing is a strong plus; a genuine eagerness to learn is the minimum bar
• Actively hands‑on in platforms today, not an oversight role only
• Agency experience strongly preferred
• Confident and skilled in senior client‑facing conversations

The perfect fit will embody our core values:

• Extraordinary Service
• Responsive Communication
• Proactive Problem Solving
• Under‑promise and Over‑deliver
• Achieve the North Star

You recognize that personal and professional growth is a continuous process. You approach every task with dedication and intensity, always striving to be more efficient. You face challenges head‑on, taking ownership, asking for help, and prioritising the team's success.

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits package (up to 90% coverage for health, dental, vision, life)
• Simple IRA with employer match
• Unlimited paid time off after 90 days
• Pet‑friendly office for those in Cincinnati. Those not in the area will join our fully remote team.
