About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Google Ads Senior Account Manager to lead a team of Google Ads Account Managers while personally managing a reduced portfolio of high-value PPC clients.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll remain hands-on with Google Ads while coaching your team, reviewing campaign quality, managing escalations, improving processes, and driving client retention.

Your goal: deliver excellent PPC performance, develop stronger Account Managers, and keep great clients longer.

What You’ll Own

Google Ads Strategy & Client Management

• Own a reduced portfolio of high-value Google Ads/PPC accounts
• Develop and optimize strategies based on performance data and business objectives
• Analyze campaign results and provide actionable recommendations
• Serve as a senior strategic advisor and escalation point
• Identify account risks before they impact retention
• Manage high-stakes client conversations
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities

Team Leadership & Coaching

Lead a pod of up to 7 Google Ads Account Managers.

• Run weekly 1:1s, coaching sessions, and role plays

• QA Account Manager work and maintain PPC standards
• Coach team members on Google Ads and Local Services Ads (LSA)
• Onboard and train new Account Managers
• Support hiring and performance evaluations
• Allocate accounts and balance team capacity
• Identify and address performance gaps

You won’t build campaigns for your Account Managers—you’ll set the standard, QA their work, unblock issues, and develop their skills.

• Act as the first escalation point for Account Managers
• Handle complex client, payment, and technical issues
• Monitor client health and identify churn risks

Requirements

• Previous experience leading, mentoring, or coaching Account Managers or client-facing teams
• Demonstrated ability to improve team performance
• Strong client communication and escalation-management skills
• Experience building repeatable processes, SOPs, and QA systems

This is not a first-time management role. Previous leadership experience is required.
