## About this task

This hospitality operator in tours and activities (201–500 employees) is looking for a manager Paid Ads Specialist for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–8 h a week. Adjusts bids, budgets, keywords and creative against targets.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It works in travel and hospitality, where demand is seasonal.

The company prefers a person who can come to Chicago for kickoff and the final review; the rest is remote. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (CT).

## What you deliver

- Optimise six campaigns weekly against a $60 cost-per-lead target and send a short note.

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

- Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

## What a week looks like

- Thursday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities

- Midweek: two short working sessions of one to two hours

- Monday: update sent before the company's end of day

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
