No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- You will take ownership of campaign execution — ensuring accounts are well-structured, budgets are managed effectively, and performance is continuously improved through data-led optimisation. This includes working across Sponsored Ads, with a strong focus on search term management, bid optimisation and campaign hygiene.
- Alongside execution, you will begin to build commercial awareness — understanding how your decisions impact revenue, efficiency and client outcomes. You’ll be expected to identify optimisation opportunities, flag risks early, and contribute ideas that improve account performance over time.
- You will work closely with Client and Catalogue teams to ensure PPC activity is aligned with wider strategy, including listing quality, promotional activity and commercial priorities.
- This role is ideal for someone who is confident managing campaigns independently, enjoys working with data, and is looking to develop deeper strategic capability within a structured and high-standard agency environment.
