Paid Media Manager Opportunity
If you’re a Paid Media Manager who enjoys combining data, creativity, and strategy, this could be a great next move! We’re working with a growing digital marketing agency in Bristol that is investing in its Paid Media division and has ambitious plans over the next couple of years.
About the Role
As a Paid Media Manager, you’ll manage campaigns, advise clients, and help shape how performance media evolves across established and emerging channels.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Paid Media Manager, you’ll manage paid advertising campaigns from planning and build through to optimisation, analysis, and reporting. You’ll work across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads, building Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen, Display, Remarketing, and Video campaigns.
- Manage paid social activity across platforms including Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, and Pinterest.
- Get involved with Programmatic campaigns, ideally using StackAdapt.
- Own client budgets, monitor performance, and turn campaign data into clear recommendations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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’ll work closely with clients to understand their objectives, identify new opportunities, and develop strategies that support growth. You’ll also work alongside specialists across SEO, Content, and wider digital marketing, making sure Paid Media works as part of a joined-up strategy.
What Experience You’ll Need to Apply
- Hands-on agency experience across Paid Search and/or Paid Social.
- Strong practical experience with Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
- Experience building, managing, and optimising biddable media campaigns.
- Experience across paid social platforms such as Meta and LinkedIn.
- Ability to analyse campaign data and turn insight into clear actions.
- Experience managing client relationships, budgets, and campaign reporting.
- Good understanding of Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display, and Video.
- Experience with Programmatic DSPs would be beneficial, particularly StackAdapt.
- Strong organisation and time management skills across multiple accounts.
- A genuine interest in digital marketing, emerging platforms, and industry developments.
