PPC Account Manager

PPC & Paid Media

• Maintain strong practical knowledge of Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and other relevant platforms.
• Work directly within advertising platforms as part of account delivery.
• Understand campaign structures, targeting, bidding, budgets, tracking, and optimization.
• Support or undertake campaign builds, changes, and optimization.
• Monitor budgets, spend, and pacing.
• Analyze performance and identify opportunities for testing and improvement.
• Confidently understand metrics including CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS, conversions, conversion rate, and lead quality.
• Stay informed about developments across paid media, AI, automation, and advertising platforms.

Performance & Commercial Thinking

• Review performance using analytics, reporting, and native platform data.
• Turn data into meaningful recommendations and actions.
• Understand the relationship between marketing metrics and commercial outcomes.
• Look beyond lead or transaction volume to understand quality, value, and efficiency.
• Investigate anomalies, tracking concerns, and unexpected performance changes.
• Clearly explain to clients what has happened, why it matters, and what should happen next.

For B2B clients, this might mean understanding lead quality, pipeline contribution, or longer sales cycles. For high-transaction B2C clients, it could mean understanding the relationship between media spend, transaction volume, conversion rate, acquisition costs, and ROAS.

Client Relationships

• Act as the primary day-to-day contact for allocated clients.
• Lead client meetings, performance reviews, and strategic discussions.
• Build trusted relationships through a genuine understanding of the client's business.
• Maintain proactive communication between meetings.
• Listen actively and understand the underlying requirement or concern.
• Translate technical information into straightforward, commercially relevant language.
• Manage expectations around performance, budgets, timelines, and priorities.
• Handle challenging conversations professionally and constructively.

Communication, Feedback & Culture

• Communication at Novi is active, frequent, and two-way.
• We expect you to:
  • Share observations, concerns, opportunities, and ideas.
  • Give and receive constructive feedback.
  • Raise potential problems early.
  • Ask questions and challenge approaches constructively.
  • Adapt when priorities or circumstances change.
  • Contribute to improving our systems, services, and ways of working.
  • Share knowledge with the wider team.
  • Be comfortable testing new approaches and learning from the results.

We are established, but we do not want the bureaucracy or resistance to change that can sometimes come with being established.

We value people who thrive where ideas move quickly, communication is constant, feedback is normal, and improvement is everyone's responsibility.

What We're Looking For

You should have:

• Experience in digital marketing, performance marketing, account management, or a related client-facing role.
• Strong practical knowledge of PPC and Paid Social.
• Hands-on experience with Google Ads and/or other major advertising platforms.
• Experience implementing and optimizing campaigns.
• Understanding of CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS, conversions, and conversion rate.
• Ability to interpret performance data and turn it into actions and client conversations.
• Strong commercial awareness.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Confidence leading client meetings.
• Strong relationship management and active listening skills.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach.
• Strong organization, ownership, and follow-through.
• Confidence making sensible decisions independently.
• Ability to give, receive, and act upon constructive feedback.
• Comfort working in an agile environment where there is not always an established process or obvious answer.
• Curiosity and a willingness to learn and contribute ideas.

Experience working within an agency, managing B2B or high-transaction B2C clients, GA4, HubSpot, Databox/Looker Studio, SEO, conversion tracking, or account growth would be beneficial.

Who Thrives at Novi?

• Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Someone who is communicative and keeps clients and colleagues informed.
• Someone who is comfortable getting hands-on and does not see implementation as somebody else's responsibility.
• Someone who is commercially curious and wants to understand how marketing contributes to the client's business.
• Someone who is open to feedback and equally willing to provide constructive feedback to others.
• Someone who is solutions-driven, adaptable, and comfortable thinking on their feet.
• Someone who collaborates with specialists without simply handing work over.
• And someone who thrives on change, new ideas, technology, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

• £30,000–£35,000 per annum depending on experience, plus competitive commission and bonus opportunities.
• Benefits include:
  • Remote working anywhere in the UK.
  • Coworking locations in Lancaster, Chester, Leeds, and Manchester.
  • Flexible working.
  • £6 per week tax-free working from home allowance.
  • Business travel and expenses covered.
  • Personal development plan.
  • Coaching and mentoring.
  • Competitive commission structure.

Application & Interview Process

• Shortlisted candidates will complete a structured assessment covering digital marketing and paid media knowledge alongside communication, judgment, ownership, adaptability, and problem-solving.
• Candidates who progress will take part in an interview and practical account management assessment using realistic digital marketing and PPC client scenarios.
• We are interested not only in whether you know the answer but how you approach a situation when you do not immediately know the answer.
• Most importantly, we are looking for someone who will thrive at Novi: someone who communicates openly, responds well to feedback, contributes ideas, adapts quickly, and takes genuine ownership.
