We’re looking for a Senior Legal Media Buyer who has a proven track record of scaling performance-driven campaigns in the legal space using Google Search and YouTube. This role is ideal for someone who understands how to turn high-intent traffic into qualified legal leads while navigating the compliance and competitive challenges of legal advertising.
You will own campaign strategy end-to-end — from setup and optimization to scaling and reporting — with a strong emphasis on lead quality, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Plan, launch, and manage high-volume Google Search and YouTube campaigns for legal lead generation.
- Own the full media buying lifecycle, including account structure, keyword strategy, bidding, budgets, and optimization.
- Partner with creative and landing page teams to develop and refine ad copy, video concepts, and conversion-focused messaging.
- Manage and scale media spend while maintaining efficiency across key performance indicators such as CPA, conversion rate, CTR, and CPC.
- Continuously test and iterate on keywords, audiences, creatives, formats, and bidding strategies to improve performance.
- Analyze performance trends to identify opportunities for scaling winners and eliminating inefficiencies.
- Produce clear, actionable reporting that communicates results, insights, and next steps to internal stakeholders.
- Stay current on Google Ads updates, policy changes, and legal advertising best practices.
- Proactively identify performance risks and implement optimizations to maintain campaign stability at scale.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 3+ years of direct response paid media experience, with hands-on ownership of Google Search and YouTube campaigns.
- Demonstrated experience running legal advertising campaigns (motor vehicle accidents, personal injury, mass tort, or similar verticals strongly preferred).
- Strong understanding of Google Ads mechanics, including Quality Score, match types, bidding models, and conversion tracking.
- Experience managing larger budgets and high lead volume campaigns.
- Highly analytical with the ability to turn data into clear optimization actions.
- Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally and contributing strategic input on creative and messaging direction.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Proficient in Google Ads, Google Analytics, and reporting tools, with solid Excel or Google Sheets skills.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
BONUS POINTS
- Experience with call-based lead generation and call tracking platforms.
- Familiarity with YouTube direct response and performance video campaigns.
- Background working at a legal lead generation company or performance agency.
- Experience optimizing toward lead quality and downstream performance, not just front-end metrics.
