AI-First Paid Search Specialist (Search Architect)

Location: Remote / Hybrid

Efficiency Mandate: 4x Production & Optimization Velocity

Role Overview

We are looking for a "Paid Search Architect" to join our agency and lead the transition from manual campaign management to autonomous agentic orchestration. The ideal candidate does not just "run ads"; they build and oversee intelligent systems that automate research, creative production, and real-time optimization. Your goal is to collapse traditional marketing timelines, achieving 400% greater efficiency than manual workflows by leveraging Level 5 autonomous tools and advanced prompt engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Autonomous Orchestration: Deploy and manage Level 5 autonomous agents (e.g., groas) to handle 24/7 bidding, budgeting, and negative keyword management without manual intervention.
• High-Volume Creative Production: Use generative AI platforms (e.g., Segwise, AdCreative.ai) to generate, score, and launch 10-20 performance-backed ad variations per campaign in minutes rather than hours.
• Conversational Ad Management: Utilize Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and conversational interfaces (e.g., Adspirer, Ryze AI) to manage Google, Meta, and TikTok accounts through natural language commands.
• Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Track brand "Citation Share" and visibility within AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity to capture high-converting referral traffic.
• Agentic Workflows: Design multi-step AI workflows that automatically detect performance anomalies, diagnose root causes, and queue remediation plans for approval.

Required Skills & Technical Competencies

• Advanced Prompt Engineering: Mastery of role-aware, few-shot, and chain-of-thought prompting to drive high-quality LLM outputs for strategy and copy.
• Python & API Automation: Ability to write scripts to interface with the OpenAI Chat Completions API and major ad platform APIs to automate repetitive data tasks.
• Creative Intelligence: Experience using multimodal AI to tag and analyze winning creative elements to prevent "creative fatigue" before performance drops.
• Strategic Attribution: Proficiency in server-side tracking and first-party data normalization to ensure AI agents are fed high-signal data.
