    Why this role

    What does a strong google ads manager change?

    Google Ads rewards operators who are in the account constantly — search term reports, asset testing, bidding adjustments, tracking integrity. Hiring that person offshore turns a retainer into a dedicated seat, and you keep ownership of the account, the data and the learnings.

    AI workflow training for your Google Ads manager

    Running a Google Ads account well means constant review of search terms, assets and tracking. Training shows your Google Ads manager how AI can speed up that review work inside Search, Shopping and Performance Max, with tracking integrity checked first and account changes approved.

    Search term and negative keyword reviews

    Group a search term report into relevant, irrelevant and ambiguous queries, then draft negative keyword lists and match type changes for each campaign.

    How they check it

    Proposed negatives are checked against converting queries so good traffic is never blocked, and the list is approved before upload.

    Diagnosing a rising CPA

    Work through a structured investigation of a CPA increase covering conversion tracking, search terms, auction insights, asset performance and landing page changes, and summarise likely causes.

    How they check it

    Each likely cause is confirmed in the account data, GA4 or GTM before a fix is proposed, and tracking integrity is verified first.

    Writing responsive search ad assets

    Draft headlines and descriptions for responsive search ads and Performance Max asset groups, matched to keyword themes and Merchant Center product data.

    How they check it

    Assets are checked against Google ad policies, product feed accuracy and offer terms, and go live only after approval.

    Practical assessment

    Using a synthetic Google Ads account export with a planted tracking fault and wasted spend, they diagnose a rising CPA, propose negatives and asset changes and explain which AI conclusions they rejected.

    How to evaluate

    Interviewing a google ads manager.

    01

    Ask how they diagnose a rising CPA

    The order of investigation reveals everything: tracking integrity, then search terms and match types, then auction and competitive pressure, then creative — not "increase the budget".

    02

    Work sample beats CV claims

    Sprint Labs screens every google ads manager on a short, realistic task drawn from the work you actually need done, then sends you the output alongside the CV. You see the standard before you spend an interview slot on it.

    03

    English and communication are scored

    Written and spoken English is assessed and you get a voice recording before you interview, so you know how this person will land in a client call, a Slack thread or a handover note.

    Optional add-on

    Add AI accent conversion for $1/hour per user.

    If the role spends time on the phone, our AI accent conversion neutralises accent in real time so every call lands clearly with your customers — without losing the person behind the voice.

    Real-time neutralisation

    Accent is softened live on the call, with latency low enough that the conversation still feels natural.

    Their voice, preserved

    Tone, pace, warmth and intent stay theirs. It is your actual team member on the line, just easier to follow.

    Your existing phone system

    Layers over the softphone or dialler you already run. No porting, no new platform, nothing to retrain.

    FAQ

    Questions about hiring an offshore google ads manager.

    How much does an offshore Google Ads manager cost?

    Roughly USD 1,550–1,800 per month all-in at mid-level and USD 1,900–2,450 for a senior manager — commonly less than a 15% agency fee on a moderate ad budget.

    Do they get access to our account, or do we get access to theirs?

    Yours, always. They work as a user on your Google Ads account and Merchant Center, so the account history, conversion data and audiences remain yours if the seat ever changes.

    What AI skills will my google ads manager learn?

    Your Google Ads manager learns to use AI to review search terms and build negative keyword lists, diagnose rising CPA in a structured order and write ad assets for Search and Performance Max. Tracking is verified first, and account changes are approved before going live. Tool use depends on what your business approves.

    Do I need a local entity to hire a google ads manager offshore?

    No. You sign a Master Services Agreement and Work Order with Sprint Labs, and Sprint Labs engages the google ads manager as an independent contractor. We handle contracts, fees and payments, engagement support and one monthly invoice. You direct the work day-to-day exactly as you would an in-house hire.

    How long does it take to hire a google ads manager through Sprint Labs?

    Most briefs produce a named, vetted shortlist within 5–10 business days. From there you interview, choose, and we handle the offer, contract and onboarding — typical brief-to-start is three to five weeks depending on the candidate's notice period.

    What happens if the hire is not the right fit?

    Tell us within the first 30 days and we replace them at our cost. After that, engagements carry a 60-day cancellation notice, which protects the contractor and gives you time to hand over work, but if you want to swap rather than offboard, we run a replacement search in parallel at no additional recruitment cost.

    Is AI training included with this placement?

    Yes. Once your team member starts, they can enrol in role-specific AI training with no additional training fee. You choose when they enrol, and the self-paced modules run during their normal working hours.

    Can the training align with our tools and AI policies?

    Yes. The course teaches general skills on practice material, and how your team member applies them depends on the tools, access and AI policy your business approves. If certain work must stay AI-free, they follow your rules. Third-party software subscriptions aren't included and are agreed during onboarding.
