Senior SEA Specialist

At JouwWeb, we make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone. Our SEA channels are one of our biggest growth engines, in a market that has never been this competitive. We bid against large international players. We don’t win by spending more, but by steering smarter.

As Senior SEA Specialist, you lead the way in SEA. You are trusted to make your own decisions within your domain. You come up with proposals, test them, and scale what works. You work closely with fellow specialists, developers, and our Head of Performance Marketing.

AI is a requirement for this role. AI alone doesn’t make campaigns better; the way you use it does. With 11 languages, multiple markets and a large budget, there are plenty of opportunities to steer smarter. Which ones? That’s exactly what we’re curious about. We expect you to come up with applications we haven’t thought of yet, test them, and scale what works. That’s how you set the standard for AI use in SEA.

You will work on

• Ownership of Google Ads and Microsoft Ads across multiple languages and markets, with a monthly budget of more than €1,000,000

• Steering on real value: further developing value-based bidding and offline conversion imports, so we bid on CLV rather than clicks

• Setting up experiments that prove incrementality, so you know which euro really drives additional growth

• Building AI tools, scripts and automations, together with development where needed

• Testing new channels, segments, ad formats and beta features

• Translating data into clear proposals and a roadmap, and executing them yourself

Who we are looking for

• You work and think at a higher education (HBO/WO) level.

• You have 5+ years of experience as an SEA specialist and have managed large budgets (100k+ per month).

• You have experience with both Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.

• You have experience with value-based bidding and offline conversion imports.

• You can set up experiments that prove incrementality.

• You work independently, take ownership and would rather decide yourself than wait for approval.

• You can show how you have used AI to improve campaign performance.

• You are available 32 to 40 hours per week and have good written and spoken English.

• You recognize yourself in our core values.

It’s a big plus if you…

• have experience with OpenAI Ads, Meta Ads or LinkedIn Ads

• write scripts or build your own tooling (Google Ads Scripts, Python, n8n or similar)

• have experience with landing page conversion optimization

What you get in return

• Salary: €4,800 – €6,000 per month (based on full-time, depending on knowledge and experience), plus a bonus scheme

• Learning budget: 5% of your annual salary

• Pension: a good pension plan with no personal contribution

• Hybrid working: at home or at the office, you choose what works best. Most colleagues are regularly at Strijp-S, especially on Fridays during our team day.

• Calm and focus: a flat organization, few meetings and room for deep work

• Extras: surprises, outings and bonuses when we hit our company targets
