Paid Media Executive

Manchester | £35,000

We’re working with a growing digital marketing agency that’s expanding its paid media team due to continued success and client growth. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where creativity, performance, and progression are genuinely prioritised.

The Role

As a Senior Paid Media Specialist, you’ll take ownership of managing and optimising paid campaigns across Google and social platforms. You’ll work across a diverse client portfolio, leading campaign strategy, execution, and performance improvement while contributing to the wider growth of the digital team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, build, and optimise paid media campaigns across Google Ads and paid social channels
  • Manage campaigns end-to-end, from initial setup through to scaling and ongoing performance improvement
  • Take ownership of client accounts, using data and insights to inform strategy and maximise ROI
  • Support onboarding of new clients and ensure a smooth transition into campaign delivery
  • Deliver clear, insightful reporting to clients and internal stakeholders
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, tools, and platform developments
  • Contribute to campaign strategy and support new business initiatives where required

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.
