Additional Information

Director of Paid Search Our Mission is to be able to say - "Anyone in the World below $15M should fire their Agency tomorrow as nobody can beat this Value & Service at this Price" At Common Thread Collective (CTC), we're not just another agency-we're the best growth partner for eCommerce brands under $15M. Our Paid Search team plays a vital role in driving measurable performance for our clients, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Paid Search Buyer to take that impact even further. As the Director of Paid Search, you'll be the strategic and operational authority for CTC's Google Ads practice. You own the outcomes - account performance, client relationships, team development, and the build-out of AI-powered automation across Google Search, Shopping, and Performance Max. This is a role for someone who has already operated at a senior level, commands the full depth of paid search strategy, and is ready to lead a team and a practice. You'll work closely with our Growth Strategists, Creative Team, and Data Analysts to turn forecasts into revenue. When challenges arise, you set the standard for how they get resolved - defining the escalation path, equipping your team to execute, and holding them accountable to the outcome. You own CTC's paid search playbooks and best practices outright: commissioning them, evolving them, and ensuring they reflect what world-class Google Ads performance actually looks like in practice. WHAT WE LOOK FOR This place isn't for everyone, but it might be for you if... Our core values are the heart and soul of this incredible Company. The right person for this role will appreciate each of these values, personally subscribe to them, and understand why each is critical to having a great business. To give ourselves our best shot at accomplishing our mission, we organize all of our decisions - from recruiting, to hiring, to raises, to promotions, to how we spend our time and money - in the direction of three committed values. We recognize these values aren't for everyone. They're challenging. In fact, they're so challenging that's why we invest so much in supporting our team and why we tend to attract people who are craving the opportunity to do more at work than get a paycheck. We're looking for those who are interested in making their work significant. AUTODIDACT You are a relentless learner, fueled by genuine curiosity. You absorb new information like osmosis - quickly, deeply, and independently. You don't need to be told twice - in fact, you often teach yourself before anyone even needs to ask. You see feedback not as criticism, but as rocket fuel for your growth. You proactively seek ways to improve, always refining your approach, sharpening your instincts, and mastering your craft without waiting for direction. You thrive in environments where self-management, initiative, and continuous improvement are not just encouraged - they are expected. UNIMPEACHABLE CHARACTER You are a person people are proud to associate with - both professionally and personally. You tell the truth, even when it's hard, even when it costs you. You demonstrate the courage to face uncomfortable conversations, the humility to accept hard truths, and the strength to own every outcome - without excuses, without playing the victim. You are self-aware, you are consistent, and you understand that trust is built through a thousand small moments of integrity. You value feedback because you know that nothing great is ever built alone - and that growth begins where comfort ends. COMPETITIVE GREATNESS You show up at your best when it matters the most. You don't just endure hard challenges - you relish them. You are the person others turn to when the stakes are highest and the pressure is on - because they know you'll find a way. You adapt without hesitation, you persist without complaint, and you innovate without being asked. You love your craft, and you attack problems with creativity, resilience, and an unrelenting will to win.
