Who is a good fit?

The person applying for this role should love to over-communicate. If they see daily spending will result in being out of budget within the next 7 days, they are quick to resolve the issue by reaching out to the customer success manager.

They have a background in running Amazon PPC campaigns for products and/or books.

A regular day might look like this: On Monday morning, you have a call with the Amazon PPC Specialist team. For 20 minutes, one PPC specialist reviews a new strategy that’s been working well for them. For the next 20 minutes the customer success manager assigns new accounts - 2 of which have been assigned to you. The meeting wraps up and you begin strategizing what campaigns to run for these new accounts. You estimate that the research will take you 10-15 hours to complete and mark the estimated completion time for Wednesday. You then spend the next hour running through the other 20 accounts you currently manage to make sure they are all performing well. You notice one of the accounts has an ACOS of 80%. The target ACOS for this book is 50% and so you spend the remainder of the day optimizing bids for various overspending targets within the account. For one campaign you come across - you wonder if a down-only bidding strategy would work better. You post your question in slack to what the other specialists have experienced with down-only bidding. Your day wraps up and you set your schedule for tomorrow which includes having one of the new accounts all set up.

Hours per week: 20-40
