Paid Media Manager (Contract)

Introduction
We’re working with a growing international ecommerce business looking for an experienced Paid Media Manager to provide additional support across the peak trading period.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can operate at a senior level while remaining close to the detail. You’ll take ownership across a complex international portfolio, combining day-to-day campaign management with strategic input and recommendations.
The Role
As Paid Media Manager, you’ll work closely with the senior marketing team to oversee paid media activity across multiple international markets. You’ll be expected to drive the accounts rather than simply provide oversight, making recommendations around strategy while also getting into the platforms and executing the work yourself.
The core of the budget currently sits across Google and Meta, with activity also across Pinterest and opportunities to develop YouTube and Snapchat further.
