I’m working with a leading communications agency who are looking for a Performance Media Manager to join their team on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract.
This is a genuinely unique opportunity to work on a major international campaign, delivering paid media strategy and activation for a high-profile global conference.
This role is not focused purely on traditional performance metrics. The campaign is centred around building awareness, driving engagement and supporting registrations across 50+ international markets.

The role:
- Own paid media planning, activation and optimisation across multiple international markets
- Manage always-on paid media activity alongside key campaign moments
- Lead planning, buying and optimisation across Paid Social channels
- Deliver campaigns across Meta and LinkedIn, with exposure to YouTube, Google Ads and X beneficial
- Use performance insights, audience data and platform learnings to continuously improve campaigns
- Work closely with Creative, Content, Web and Technical teams to improve campaign effectiveness
- Support tracking, measurement and reporting across campaign activity
- Translate performance data into actionable recommendations for wider stakeholders
