SEM / Performance Marketing Specialist

Salary Competitive

We are now expanding our team with a SEM-specialist that will work with all our paid search marketing efforts and other digital marketing channels.


What is Happens?

Happens is reinventing how people compare, buy & use insurances. We strive to make insurance more engaging and understandable. 

We are a startup and think- and operate like one. We don’t care about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation and efficiency. We’re lean and work scrum based in sprints (smaller projects). We move fast, iterate, and optimize.

We believe in having an open-minded atmosphere, collective goals and a strong feedback culture to nourish everyone's blooming. 


What you’re applying for

We’re looking for an SEM-specialist to join Happens growth/marketing team. You will mainly work with Google paid search (and a little bit with performance max and display). Our ambition is that you soon will be responsible for our google ads marketing channels. You will work closely with our COO to develop and execute SEM and other digital marketing strategies. At Happens we tend to wear many different hats, which means you’ll have one main responsibility, SEM, but the opportunity to work with and grow as a broader digital marketeer.


Who’s our dream candidate?

You’re a superstar in digital marketing and you have worked with google search professionally. You’re creative, like numbers, and finding solutions to problems. You love learning new things, trying out new tricks and hacks and best practices to optimize and improve results.

For this role we believe a smart and curious person who is excited to learn and develop their skills calls for a great match. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with what we look for - we encourage you to apply. You may be the right candidate for this or other positions.


In this role you’ll

  • Set up, manage & optimize google search ads to reduce CAC

  • Execute tests, collect and analyze data, identify trends and insights in order to achieve maximum ROI and/or towards pre determined marketing goals

  • Track, analyze and report website analytics

  • Perform ongoing paid keyword discovery, expansion, and optimization

  • Research, analyze, and learn from competitors (with tools such as Ahrefs)

  • Create new and supercharge existing search ads


What you’ll need

  • Professional experience from working with google search campaigns

  • Fluent in Swedish


Nice to haves

We see it as meritorious if you have experience in more digital marketing channels such as Meta and/or experience from setting up, managing, and analyzing website and conversion analytics.


Your profile

  • You are result oriented and find it easy to break down long term goals into smaller sub/short term goals to stay motivated.

  • You are flexible and can adjust your work tasks and priorities fast according to changing conditions. You’re open to help colleagues if you can even if it is not “on your table”. The circumstances can change fast at a startup and all of us need to be able to adjust after new goals and changes for the best of the company.

  • You enjoy working independently where you find it natural to solve problems that arise and take new initiatives to reach KPIs and goals.
