- Communicate confidently with U.S.-based clients on a regular basis
- Coordinate with internal teams (e.g., web design) on technical updates

🌟 Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in the home services or trades industry (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, etc.)
- Familiarity with tools like BrightLocal, Whitespark, GA4, and Google Search Console
- Experience with Google Local Services Ads (LSAs)
- Strong reporting and data storytelling skills
💼 What We Offer:
- 💸 Competitive monthly compensation in USD (based on experience)
