We’re looking for a skilled and hands on Paid Media Manager with agency experience who’s ready to jump straight into campaign delivery, optimisation and performance reporting. You’ll be joining a team that moves fast and supports some of the world’s best-known brands in sectors like healthcare, education, FMCG, finance and tech.

This isn’t an entry-level role – we’re after someone who knows how to run digital campaigns and is comfortable managing multiple platforms and priorities at once. If you’re passionate about media performance, data, and helping clients hit their goals, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be part of a collaborative and creative team who’ve got your back – but we’ll also look to you to take real ownership from day one.

What you’ll be doing

Key responsibilities:

Turn client briefs into smart and effective media plans, working with strategy, creative and data teams.
Launch and optimise paid media campaigns across platforms including Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and others.
Monitor and manage campaign performance using tools like Google Analytics 4 and platform-native reporting.
Create and maintain dashboards and performance reports to communicate results clearly.
Test creative assets and formats, sharing learnings that improve future campaigns.
Build strong relationships with job boards and media partners to deliver campaigns efficiently.
Balance multiple projects, timelines and client expectations – often at pace.
Contribute to internal process improvement and support more junior team members when needed.

As a growing agency, we encourage everyone to get stuck into wider business initiatives or help out where needed.

What you need to bring

2–3 years of hands-on experience in paid media, ideally within an agency setting.
A solid understanding of performance marketing across Google Ads, Meta, and other digital channels.
Confidence with campaign reporting, dashboards and analytics (GA4, platform tools or Looker Studio).
Strong organisational skills - able to manage yourself, your time and your workload.
A collaborative mindset - you enjoy working closely with strategists, creatives and developers.
A calm, positive approach under pressure and a willingness to speak up when things aren’t working.
A genuine interest in digital media and a desire to grow your expertise.
