Senior Paid Search Specialist
We're looking for a world-class Senior Paid Search Specialist to own one of our most important acquisition channels across the UK, with the opportunity to scale it internationally. You'll have end-to-end ownership of a multi-million-pound budget and be responsible for the strategy, automation, measurement, and optimisation that drives profitable growth.
This is a role for someone who loves building. You'll combine analytical rigour with technical execution, designing automated bidding systems, leveraging AI to scale your impact, and developing search strategies that outperform competitors in one of the UK's most competitive digital markets. You'll work closely with our Data, Product, and CRO teams, have direct access to leadership, and play a key role in shaping how search operates at Voy as we continue expanding globally.
What You'll Do

- Build and continuously improve automated bidding systems using value-based bidding, scripts, APIs, and custom logic.
- Leverage AI and automation across the channel, from search query mining and ad copy generation to budget allocation, reporting, and workflow optimisation.
- Develop sophisticated auction strategies, including competitor conquesting, brand defence, impression share optimisation, and efficient market coverage.
- Dive deep into performance data, attribution, search query reports, and incrementality analysis to understand exactly what is driving growth.
- Partner closely with Data, Engineering, and CRO teams to improve measurement, attribution, Quality Score, and conversion performance.
- Forecast channel performance and make commercial decisions backed by robust analysis and experimentation.
- Build scalable playbooks that enable successful expansion of Paid Search into international markets.
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.

About Us
Healthcare is broken. We’re fixing it — and we need your help.
Back in 2019, we launched MANUAL to tackle men's health (starting with hair loss and sexual health). A few years later, we launched Voy with a focus on weight loss. But our ambition has always been bigger. Healthcare too often treats conditions in isolation, not people as a whole, and we're on a mission to prove there's a better way.
In 2025, we evolved from MANUAL into Voy, a brand built for the long game: supporting people through every stage of life, not just a single diagnosis. Today, we support over 1 million members across the UK, Germany and Brazil, delivering personalised care across weight loss, menopause, hair loss and TRT (with more categories on the way).
Ready to join us and change how healthcare feels for millions of people?
