This role is about creating impact at scale and taking our marketing to new heights.

What you will do at EDURINO

Own the paid search channels focussing on Google Ads & Amazon Ads 

  • Take responsibility for our paid search channels end-to-end: from strategy and planning to execution and reporting

  • Set and deliver ambitious targets for new-customer revenue, ncROAS/CPA, and contribution margin, always operating within a fixed budget

  • Develop and implement innovative strategies for query/intent coverage, automated bidding guardrails, feed design, and account architecture across Google and Amazon

  • Oversee robust experimentation frameworks across copy/assets, feeds, bidding, and landing pages with predefined decision thresholds and clear stop/scale rules

  • Manage budgets, pacing, forecasting, and reporting with rigor and transparency, taking platforms, GA4, and BI into account for decision-making.

  • Build strong relationships with external partners, agencies, and platform representatives to unlock betas, negotiate support, and accelerate learning

Drive innovation

  • Stay ahead of platform changes, AI‑driven automation, and emerging discovery surfaces (e.g., AI Overviews, retail assistants), always pushing for what is next

  • Embed AI into operating processes, including query clustering, negative discovery, feed enrichment drafts, anomaly detection, and insight synthesis, to increase speed and quality

  • Build, lead, and mentor a small, high‑output team and agencies, fostering a culture of pace, learning, and accountability

Foster synergies with adjacent channels and align with broader company goals

  • Collaborate across teams to ensure campaigns are insight-led, on-brand, and synchronized with inventory, pricing, and promotions

  • Share learnings and best practices across markets and channels, ensuring scalable growth and consistent operating standards

  • Excellent communicator, able to influence at all levels and collaborate across functions

  • Embrace AI as leverage, integrating it into workflows and upskilling the team to improve speed, consistency, and decision quality

  • Passionate about learning, sharing knowledge, and continuously raising the bar for paid search performance

What we believe in

We believe that, in addition to hiring the best talent, a diversity of perspectives, ideas, and cultures leads to the creation of better products. We hire people who are passionate about the product and team, demonstrate raw curiosity, and bring the ability and willingness to continuously learn. 
EDURINO is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of ethnicity, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender. We foster a work environment that enables personal and professional growth and always strive to find the truth in discussions, independent of seniority or position as all opinions are respected.


What makes us special

  • A start-up culture based on trust. You own your schedule and location - what matters is what you move. 
  • Remote-first, outcome-focused. Work remotely from anywhere in Germany or the UK, ideally within reach of our hubs Munich, Berlin, and London.
  • Regular in-person events. We meet up in person twice a year as a full company, and teams connect regularly online and offline. From pub quizzes to hiking at Tegernsee - we like to keep it fun.
  • Equity for everyone. Every team member gets a share package - so when Edurino grows, you grow with us.
  • Truly international. English is our company language and our team brings amazing ideas and cultures from over 20 countries.
  • Support beyond the job. In Germany, we offer KITA allowance, bike leasing (JobRad), and a company pension scheme. Everyone receives the gear they need (Mac or Windows), plus access to exclusive employee discounts.
  • Room to grow. We believe in learning fast, failing forward, and lifting each other. There’s budget and mentorship for high-performers who want to take the next step.
