Job Description
Company Overview
Pearl West is rewriting the playbook for building and scaling consumer brands. Think of us as a mini-Unilever — but leaner, faster, and built for exits. With a portfolio of six high-growth brands and a centralized shared-services model, we’re operating at over $40M in annual revenue and climbing.
We’re not your typical PE-backed DTC group. We’re a team of hands-on operators, direct-response experts, and brand-builders who thrive on turning chaos into systems. Our mission is unapologetically bold: build brands that leave lasting impressions—and exit them at their peak .
With deep roots in Amazon and a booming TikTok Shops presence, we move fast, we optimize hard, and we scale smart. If you want to run PPC like it’s your own business—with real upside and real impact—this is where you belong.
Role Overview
We’re hiring an Performance PPC Lead – Amazon and Google to own performance marketing across two of our highest-leverage growth channels. This is a full-time, remote position where you’ll manage and scale multi-brand ad accounts, optimize campaigns daily, and implement aggressive testing frameworks. You’ll be expected to execute strategy, build systems, and directly influence the bottom line. No fluff, no bureaucracy—just results.
Key Responsibilities
- Full-funnel PPC Strategy & Execution – Drive paid media campaigns on Amazon and Google (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) across multiple brands.
- Daily Campaign Optimization – Analyze performance, shift budgets, and optimize ads based on real-time ROAS, TACOS, and contribution margin.

- Data Analysis & Reporting – Own campaign dashboards and reporting flows. Provide actionable insights to leadership weekly.
- Tool & Tech Management – Manage Amazon Ads Console, Google Ads, bulk sheets, automation scripts, and analytics tools (e.g., Perpetua, Pacvue, Helium10, Data Studio).
- Brand-Level P&L Contribution – Drive ad spend efficiency and help achieve margin targets for each brand.
- Playbook Development – Systematize what works. Document processes, build SOPs, and mentor junior team members as we scale.
