The Role
We're looking for a Paid Media Manager to take ownership of campaign performance across Meta Ads and Google Ads. You'll be hands-on in the platforms every day — building, optimising, and scaling campaigns that deliver real commercial results for our clients.
This is a role for someone who lives and breathes paid media. You'll manage significant budgets, make data-driven decisions, and work closely with our Account Management, Creative, and CRM teams to drive performance.
Key Responsibilities
Campaign Management
- Build, launch, and manage campaigns across Meta Ads and Google Ads
- Manage monthly budgets of £10k+ per platform across multiple client accounts
- Optimise campaigns daily — bid strategies, audience targeting, creative rotation, budget allocation
- Run A/B tests on audiences, creatives, placements, and copy to continually improve performance
- Monitor key metrics (CPL, CPA, ROAS, CTR, CVR) and take action when performance shifts
- Stay on top of platform changes, betas, and new features — and put them to work
