Qualification
Required
This is NOT a remote position. Residency in the Bloomington-Normal area is required
Must be a United States citizen or permanent resident. Relocation benefits are not available
12 months experience actively managing Google Ads for a business inside the platform itself. Though this is a junior position, base knowledge and experience are required. Campaigns are already up-and-running, and you'll be expected to step-in and know what you're looking at from day one. Training will be provided to improve your acumen
Google Ads Certifications preferred. If you've been actively managing Google Ads, you have the certificates. If you let them lapse due to a change in your current role/responsibilities, you are expected to re-certify prior to your first day
Personal familiarity with platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and streaming services would be helpful
Other degrees, licenses, or certifications. Competency and character matter most, but a formal background in marketing, communications, or related fields would be a plus
We're an intensely local company looking for reliable longevity from this position, so we welcome candidates who plan to put down roots and make the Bloomington-Normal area their home. Passion for local businesses and a familiarity with JoshuaOneNine clients will make you highly competitive
Attention to Detail. You are the last line of defense before anything goes public that uses actual Client dollars
Confidentiality & Trust. You will have access to sensitive business and financial information for clients. Your ability to keep this information safe, confidential, and functional is the highest priority
Patience. You are the last stop in the workflow before paid ads go live. You may have to execute late or short-notice action once the work gets to your desk
