We run paid search for B2B software companies — PE-backed software rollups, Microsoft Dynamics partners, and other pipeline-driven clients where success is measured in closed revenue, not vanity metrics. Why Ignite? You’ll run a focused portfolio — fewer than 10 accounts, not forty — and work the full arc: strategy, build, testing, measurement, client relationship. Experimentation is a core value, not a slogan. Every client gets a thesis and a test. Got an idea? We want to hear it. This isn't a meat grinder. 40 hours a week is the expectation, not 60–80. We'd rather you do great work on fewer accounts than burn out running too many. Direct line to the founder. Trusted to do the job. If you've felt held back, you'll notice the difference in week one. On AI Already experimenting with AI but getting pushback at your current job? We're the opposite. Careful, thoughtful AI integration is the point here — and we'll hand you a Claude Max 20x account on day one so you can build the workflows you've been sketching on your own time. What you’ll do Run a focused portfolio of fewer than 10 B2B software accounts — strategy, campaign builds, optimization, reporting, and direct client relationships. Own the client relationship. You’ll run weekly calls, handle scope conversations, and be the primary point of contact for your book — not hand-holding required from the founder. Own Google Ads and Microsoft Ads as the core channels. Microsoft Ads matters more for B2B software than most agencies treat it — the audience, the tenant-buyer overlap, and the CPC efficiency are real. You’ll get to use it well. Run LinkedIn Ads when the account warrants it — ABM, high‑intent pipeline plays, retargeting off search. Manage monthly media spend from $5K to $500K+ per account. Write ad copy and creative briefs that beat what the client’s in‑house team would produce. Set up and audit tracking — tagging, pixels, conversion events, offline conversions, CRM feedback loops. Ship monthly reports that provide real insights, not just a bunch of metrics. Bring your AI workflow. What you do with the Claude subscription is up to you — share what works and we’ll roll useful patterns across the team. Work directly with the founder. Small team, high trust, high responsibility. Who we’re looking for 3–6 years in paid search. Agency, in‑house, or blended. What matters is hands‑on time in Google Ads and ideally Microsoft Ads. Attention to detail is non‑negotiable. At the account sizes we run, the difference between the people who thrive in agency life and the people who wash out usually comes down to this. If you’re the person who catches the small stuff before it becomes a client problem, you’ll do well here. Fluent in Google Ads Editor or API (or a spreadsheet‑first workflow that gets you to the same place). You need to be able to make large, accurate changes quickly and safely. B2B / pipeline mindset. You think in lead generation, funnel rates, cost per action — not CPM and reach. LinkedIn Ads comfort is a plus, not a requirement. If you haven’t run it and want to learn, we’ll teach you. AI‑curious. You don’t need to be an expert. You need to be the person who’d actually use the Claude subscription on day one. Comfortable with clients. You can run a weekly call, handle a scope question, and not need the founder to save you. Self‑directed. Remote, distributed, small team. We trust hires to ship without micromanagement. Excited by a boutique agency. The upside here is ownership and real career progression — not being a cog at a 200‑person shop. $5,000 health trust (flexible dental, medical, wellness) Claude Max 20x subscription provided or equivalent Technology & coworking stipend — bring your own setup or expense a coworking membership, your call The basics Remote, Canada only Full‑time 90‑day probation period — fully paid, same salary and benefits from day one Start date: ASAP for the right candidate #J-18808-Ljbffr
