Summary: We are seeking a dynamic and experienced PPC Manager to join our team.

The PPC Manager will contribute to team training, PPC vendor management, and collaborate closely with cross-functional departments.

About Us: Yes, we have all the benefits stuff like hybrid schedules, unlimited vacation at year 3, health insurance, etc., but that is not the reason to join our team.

You will be working alongside a team of folks who geek out on what they do and get excited when they drive outstanding results for our clients. Every member of our team is committed to upholding our (un)common values.

We are very proud of the agency and team we have built and believe that being together at the office helps us maintain a strong culture. Such, this position is based out of our office in Austin, TX with a hybrid schedule. We're in the office two days (three days a week for those in training) with an option to work the other days either at the office or remotely. Want to learn more about our culture?
