Job Description:
About the Role:
MG OMD is searching for a Paid Search Senior Account Executive to join the team, working on Waitrose.
The Senior Executive will work with the team to build upon the existing foundations through experimentation and deliver best-in-class media. This opportunity will allow the team to shape performance and deliver future-facing technology and solutions.
In the Senior Executive role, you will be working as part of the Investment team @MG OMD, comprised of 100+ specialists who work across paid search, paid social, and organic performance (SEO). Although the role primarily focuses on paid search, there are opportunities to develop skills across the wider Investment team. This role requires someone with enthusiasm, a creative mindset, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Senior Executives will have experience of running advertising campaigns across Google & Microsoft search. You should ideally be experienced in producing detailed media plans across a variety of objectives and targeting types. You should also have knowledge of optimising search campaigns to improve performance. Experience working in a marketing or agency environment is a bonus but not required!
You will need to be organised and methodical with a calm demeanor. You will also need to be confident working with numbers as we regularly deal with large amounts of data. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel is essential and some PowerPoint experience is preferable.
As a client-facing team, we are looking for someone who is a strong communicator.
The Senior Account Executive role involves serving as the primary day-to-day contact for the clients you work with, becoming a valued member of their marketing team. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality work.
