Paid Media Executive

Manchester

£30-32k


We’re working with a growing independent integrated agency on the lookout for a Paid Media Executive to join their digital team.

Our Client

An independently owned, award-winning integrated agency in South Manchester. They have a varied client base across B2B and B2C sectors, and are undergoing a period of planned growth. They work 4 days per week office based with Friday’s at home.

The Role

You’ll be working in a hands-on paid media role, working within a wider team and supporting the Head of Digital. You’ll be activating and optimising campaigns across multiple clients, both B2B and B2C, from build, launch and day to day management, through to compile performance data accurately and on schedule to deliver campaign reporting. You’ll primarily work in one channel initially while being exposed to new channels, with structured support and direct mentorship.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You

Ideally you’ll have 12-18 months experience within a Paid Media role, this could be within Social, Search or Programmatic, but you’ll be keen to expand into new areas. We’re open as to whether this has been within an agency or an in-house role. You’ll have developed an understanding of campaign structure, optimisation and targeting, as well as have a strong attention to detail. This is a great role for someone with early paid media experience who is hungry to learn more, work in a busy, fast paced and varied environment, and also understand the why behind the numbers. You’ll be analytically curious, a fast learner, calm when working at pace and AI curious too.
