We have a new role for a paid media manager/lead in an award winning full-service marketing agency whose paid media function is growing fast. They’re looking for someone with experience and ambition to help shape and scale this critical part of the business.
This role suits someone already in a senior position, or ready to step up. They operate under Holacracy principles, giving you the autonomy and ownership to shape your role and career.
You’ll be responsible for the strategy, planning, buying, optimisation and reporting of digital media campaigns across key client accounts. You’ll collaborate closely with creatives, strategists and directors to deliver joined-up campaigns that perform.
People skills are more important than technical skills, but experience and expertise will hopefully include most of the following:
- Lead media planning and strategy development across key accounts
- Direct planning and buying across digital channels: Google Ads, Bing, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok (and more)
- End-to-end campaign delivery: build, launch, optimise, report
- Budget management and performance forecasting
- Planning and execution of ABM campaigns (self-serve or managed service)
- Lead client comms, presenting strategy/performance clearly and persuasively
- Shaping the paid media function: process improvement, structure, future hires
- Champion collaboration between media and creative teams for better campaign outcomes
- Ownership of billing, budget reconciliations and financial tracking
- Acting as a trusted advisor to clients and a key contributor to business growth
You might be the right fit if you:
- Have solid experience managing paid campaigns across multiple channels
- Are confident presenting to clients and defending media recommendations
- Are commercially sharp – you understand budget management, billings and performance metrics
- Have experience in B2B and ABM (or are keen to develop this)
- Want to help build and scale a paid media function from the inside out
- Enjoy collaborating with creative and seeing campaigns succeed as a whole
- Are proactive, opinionated, and always look to improve how things are done
Salary: £40k (DOE) + excellent benefits
