Small budgets, real decisions
We spend a modest amount on search ads each month, which means every rupee has to justify itself and you get to see the effect of your choices within days rather than quarters. Over three months you will help run those campaigns end to end.
Your side of it
Building keyword-tight ad groups around high-intent queries like internship in Pune for freshers. Writing responsive search ad assets and killing the ones that underperform instead of leaving them to rot. Managing negative keyword lists so we stop paying for people searching for government exam results. Reading the search terms report every week and doing something about it. You will also set up conversion tracking properly, so that we can finally tell an apply click apart from a page view.
Learning curve
Nobody expects you to arrive already knowing Google Ads. You should arrive comfortable with a spreadsheet, willing to be wrong in front of other people, and able to explain the reasoning behind a change you made. Three days a week from our Gurugram office and the rest remote.
