SEA Manager (f,m,x) - remote

Founded in 2017, refurbed is Europe’s fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 23 European countries and having surpassed €2Bn in GMV — all while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for four consecutive years.

Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.

If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first).

Paid search is one of refurbed’s largest growth levers, with a high eight-figure annual budget across 23+ European markets. For our SEA team we are looking for an SEA Manager (f/m/x) to own Google Ads and Shopping for a portfolio of country accounts, and to help us grow in new categories beyond consumer electronics, such as home appliances and e-bikes.

You will report to the SEA Team Lead and work closely with our Markets team, Category Marketing and Supply.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have 2–5+ years of hands-on experience in Google Ads (Performance Max, Shopping, Search and DemandGen), ideally in-house at an e-commerce or retail business. Other search engines are a plus.
• You have relevant certifications in Google’s Skillshop.
• You worked with feeds before such as GMC custom labels, feed rules, disapprovals and tools such as Channable, Productsup or similar.
• You have confident, hands-on proficiency in Google Analytics, Ads Editor and Business Intelligence tools such as Looker studio/Tableau. SQL knowledge is a plus.
• You’re curious, enjoy testing new approaches (e.g. automations, scripts, new ad formats) and stay on top of Google’s product updates.
• You are strong with data. Spreadsheets are part of your daily work, and you want to understand what the data tells you as well as its limits.
• You solve problems from first principles. When a campaign underperforms, you find out why before you change settings.
• You use AI tools and automation to work faster but you check the output, implement feedback loops, and work to automate repetitive tasks.
• You are confident with stakeholders and a strong communicator. You can explain results clearly to market, category and supply colleagues.
• Your English is fluent. Another European language is highly desirable.

Location & eligibility: This role is open to candidates based in Europe (including UK) only with a valid right to work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own SEA and Shopping for a portfolio of country accounts: campaign structure, feeds, bidding and budgets, in line with market goals and our incrementality measurements.
• Be the go-to partner for your markets’ teams on paid search priorities, local search trends and competitors.
• Support the SEA Team Lead on multi-category: build growth cases and test plans with Category Marketing, and turn learnings into set-ups, playbooks and reporting the whole team can use.
• Roll out category changes in your own accounts and help colleagues roll them out in theirs.
• Build performance reporting for our Supply team and brand partners.
• Cover colleagues’ accounts during absences, using shared runbooks, alerting and quality checks.
• Automate repetitive set-up and reporting so new categories and markets do not mean more manual work.
• Share your learnings with the team and contribute to our test roadmap.
• Work with Google and Microsoft partner teams on new formats and betas.

WHY YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH US:

Our Culture and Values:

• Decisions should be made based on facts and not by hierarchy levels? We sure think so!
• We embrace giving and receiving feedback, testing and welcoming new ideas, as well as sharing our knowledge across the company.
• You fail sometimes? Well, so do we! We’re all just human, let’s learn from our mistakes to improve in the future!
• No matter who you love, where you’re from, who you pray to, whether you pee sitting down or standing up – we are a bunch of talented people who enjoy spending our time making a difference!

Personal & Professional Development:

• You'll have access to a dedicated learning budget within your department to support your growth, whether it's courses, conferences, or other learning opportunities that matter to you.
• We partner with Likeminded, offering you private sessions with experts for your personal growth and mental health.
• We frequently host internal workshops, allowing our teams to further develop their skills in different areas and enhancing collaboration across departments.

Flexibility:

• We care about a healthy work/life balance. We not only function and support a fully remote setting but also offer the possibility to work from our beautiful office in the vibrant heart of Vienna – we love dogs, so feel free to bring your furry little buddy too 😊
• We trust you to do the best job, so we don't care so much when you do it – you are able to self-organize.
• You will also be invited to take part in our office weeks, happening three times a year, where you will have the chance to work side by side with your colleagues and enjoy the team-building events and on-site workshops

…and much more! See for further insights!
