Your place in the MAI Group

As a (Senior) Performance Marketing (SEA / PPC) Manager, you will actively shape the future of data-driven marketing. With your strategic vision, your understanding of tracking, and your consulting expertise, you will guide complex paid media projects from strategy to successful implementation.
