## About this task

This b2B media company covering business news (201–500 employees) is looking for a senior Paid Ads Specialist for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Finds wasted spend and missed chances in an account.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It publishes content on a schedule, so editorial deadlines are fixed.

The team sits in San Francisco. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Audit a $40k-a-month Google Ads account and list ten changes ranked by expected saving.

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 6: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

Google Ads GA4

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Paid Ads Specialist, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Google Ads and GA4

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Experience in a similar industry

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
