- Help identify issues affecting performance, including tracking problems, landing page issues, technical SEO concerns, budget constraints, lead quality issues, and client‑side conversion problems.
- Manage timelines, priorities, deliverables, and next steps across assigned accounts.
- Help develop strategic recommendations for existing and prospective clients.
- Maintain strong organization, responsiveness, and accountability in a fully remote environment.
- Work with company leadership on selective strategic accounts, internal initiatives, and special projects as needed.

- Experience managing client relationships in an agency environment.
- Strong working knowledge of SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, analytics, websites, and lead generation.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Highly organized and able to manage multiple clients, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously.
- Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑accountability remote environment.
- Proactive problem‑solver who can take ownership without constant direction.
- Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required.
- Experience with multi‑location businesses, healthcare, dental, legal, home services, B2B, or local lead generation accounts.
- Familiarity with GA4, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, call tracking platforms, CRM data, and reporting dashboards.
