Senior PPC Manager & Brand Growth Strategist

This is not a campaign-execution job. As a Senior PPC Manager you grow brands, oversee client accounts, and lead the way our team works with AI: building the tools and processes that take over repetitive work, and making sure what they produce is right. We are looking for someone who thinks, sees the bigger picture, and makes the whole team better.

🟢About Growster⚫️
Growster is a boutique Amazon growth agency based in Germany, founded by former aggregator brand owners. We work with 7- and 8-figure brands in the EU, UK and US. Our PPC Managers are also the account managers: they own the account and the client relationship. And we are moving our whole way of working to AI-assisted workflows that our own team designs, builds and checks.

🔘What you will do
✦Own a portfolio of brands end to end: growth, profit, margin, TACOS and the P&L, not only the ad console.
✦Go beyond bid management. Connect PPC with organic rank, listing, images, CTR, CVR, pricing, stock and promotions, and flag when the problem is not PPC at all.
✦Design and build AI-assisted tools and processes that optimize our workflows and improve the ones we already have, and get the team using them.
✦Oversee accounts with a sharp eye. Check AI output before it reaches a client or an account, correct what is wrong, and own the result.
✦Put analysis, prevention and growth ahead of busywork: spot problems before they show up in the numbers, fix the cause, and add a check so it does not happen again.
✦Lead client communication: clear, proactive and honest, including client calls, decisions and hard news. Share wins, problems and plans before the client asks.
✦Work as part of the team and raise its level: help teammates do things on their own, mentor newer PPC managers, share what you learn and build, and disagree openly and constructively. This matters as much as your own results.
🔘The person we are looking for
✦Analytical. You start from the data and you know which numbers matter.
✦High-agency. You see what needs doing and do it, without waiting to be told.
✦Holistic. You think about the whole brand, not one channel.
✦AI-sharp. You build with AI and you catch it when it is wrong.
✦Honest. You say what is really happening, to the client and to us, including your own mistakes.
✦Collaborative and coachable. You make the people around you better, and you take feedback well.
🔘Who we are not looking for
🚫Checklist-only operators who follow steps without asking why.
🚫Yes-men. We want people who push back with reasons.
🚫Siloed specialists who only look at the ad console.
🚫Vanity-metric chasers who report impressions while profit slips.
🚫People who measure their value in hours and task lists. We do not need a daily "here is everything I did" report. We need the right things done and the wrong things prevented.
🚫Relays for AI. If you pass on what an AI says without checking it, this is not the role for you: every output that reaches a client or an account is yours.
🚫Part-time or freelance arrangements. This role is full-time.
🔘What success looks like after 6 months
✦You run a portfolio of brands end to end, and the clients see measurable growth.
✦At least one AI-assisted tool or process you built is used by the whole team.
✦Problems on your accounts are caught and prevented before clients notice them.
✦Teammates and clients come to you as a trusted voice.
What you bring
✦3+ years owning Amazon accounts, with growth you can prove: case studies with numbers, ideally on 7- or 8-figure brands.
✦AI workflows or tools you built (with Claude, ChatGPT, automations, scripts or sheets) that changed how you or your team work, and how you check what they produce.
✦Analytical depth: Search Query Performance, search-term and placement data, bulk files, spreadsheets, and P&L thinking (break-even ACOS, TACOS, margin).
✦Strong command of the levers around PPC: SEO and keywords, listing and image content, pricing, inventory and profitability.
✦Excellent written and spoken client communication in English.
What we offer
✦$1,500 to $1,800 per month, base salary, paid at the end of every month, on time.
✦Full-time and fully remote, with flexible hours judged on results. We need a working overlap with German business hours for team and client calls.
✦A lean team that builds and shares its own AI tools.
How to apply
✦The application takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. It is deliberately thorough, so please set aside the time.
✦Record a 5-minute intro video (Loom or similar) covering: who you are and which role you are applying for, why Growster, and your experience (challenges, meaningful projects, where you want to grow).
✦Take the ICAR-16 cognitive test at ---------- /test/ICAR-16 and keep a screenshot of your score. It is information we collect, never a pass or fail filter.
✦Fill in the application form at ---------- and upload your resume as a PDF.
❗️About AI and writing. Some questions ask you to work with your preferred AI tool; for those, paste the whole chat, because how you steer and check the AI is what we look at. Everywhere else, write in your own words. Voice-to-text such as Wispr Flow is fine, and imperfect grammar and spelling are welcome: we want to see how you think, not how polished your English is.
✦Applications sent any other way than the form are not reviewed. It is the first test of reading instructions. Do not use any polish/grammar correction in your responses aside from AI tasks❗️
Our process
✦Application (above). We review within 5 business days.
✦Audit test, 3 to 5 hours: an integrated audit of an anonymized account covering PPC, listing health, Search Query Performance and P&L. Materials provided.
✦Interview, 60 to 90 minutes: you walk us through your audit as if we were the client, and we talk about how you work with a team.
✦Final interview and offer.
✦End to end this usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. No unpaid trial work on live accounts, no personality tests, no coding tests, no reference calls.
