About The Role

As a Paid Search Manager, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and optimising paid search campaigns to drive high-quality traffic, maximise conversions, and support revenue growth.

Analytics, Reporting & Insights: Track and report on KPIs such as CPA, CTR, and conversion rates using tools like Google Analytics and SA360. Translate data into insights and actionable recommendations for stakeholders to inform strategic decisions.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Partner with internal teams, clients, and external partners to align paid search efforts with broader marketing and business goals. Support the creation of high-performing ad creatives and landing pages, and share expertise on industry best practices.
Innovation & Market Awareness: Stay current with paid search trends, platform updates, competitor activity, and relevant regulations (e.g., PAGB compliance). Test emerging formats and channels to identify new opportunities and drive innovation in campaign performance
