Salary: up to £45k + bonus
Location: Manchester City Centre – 3 days in office
Forward Role are excited to be exclusively partnering with a tech-lead, international Travel giant, as they undergo a highly exciting time of growth and digital transformation! This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for a Senior PPC expert to come in and make their mark in a world-class, high-performing Global Paid Media function.
About the Role
This position is to manage the Paid channel, not people – yet! This team is set to grow in line with wider business growth in time to come, so don’t worry if you’ve not got management experience. If you’re a Senior Exec wanting a step up, or an existing Manager wanting oversight and autonomy of your own accounts – this may be the role for you.
