Applying for PPC Strategist · Paid media · Remote

We're hiring a PPC Strategist to own paid media for a book of B2B and growing-brand clients. The targeting, the budget calls, the roadmap, the narrative when the client asks why. You own paid. SEO belongs to someone else. We hand you the best AI tools available so your time goes into decisions instead of manual reporting.

The role

One seat. Paid media, end to end.

You own paid media for your clients across Google, Meta and LinkedIn: budget allocation, targeting, creative testing, and the story behind the numbers on the call. You are the strategic voice at the table, not behind it. You are not responsible for SEO.

You own

Client strategy

The recommendation, the roadmap, the narrative on the call. You are the strategic voice at the table, not behind it.

You own

Your channel's decisions

The calls in paid: platform mix, budget allocation, targeting, creative testing, and when to kill a campaign. Execution skews to judgment and data, not manual ops. AI handles the grunt work.

You own

Account growth

Retention, upsell, the long-term relationship. You build accounts that compound over years, not quarters.

The line

One discipline, owned properly. The other one is a different person's job, and that is the point.

What you own

Paid media

Google, Meta and LinkedIn for your accounts. The strategy, the spend decisions, the roadmap and the client conversation that goes with them.

What you don't

SEO

Technical SEO, content and rankings are a separate seat with a separate strategist. You are never split across both.

Blacksmith is a fully remote digital agency running paid media and SEO for B2B and growing mid-market brands. This seat owns paid media strategy and direction. Specialists and AI handle execution. Prove results and grow into senior strategist or pod lead.

Why this seat

Built for strategists who want to make calls.

Most agency strategist roles are stuck on the wrong end of the work. This one is built for people who want to make decisions, not just send decks. Real ownership, real tools, real growth.

01

AI-first stack

Every team member has access to the best AI tools available. We use them to take grunt work off your plate so you spend time on real decisions, not manual reports.

02

Strategic ownership

You own the strategy and the client relationship. No layers above you running interference. Direct line to the founder.

03

Real growth

Small team, growing fast. AS is a seat that earns upward mobility quickly. Into senior strategist, pod lead, or related expansion.

04

Right client mix

B2B and growing brands across mid-market. Real budgets, real strategic problems, fewer ad-hoc fire drills than agencies that chase any deal.

You get a real onboarding and a clear picture of ownership over time. Here is the path most strategists follow.
