Responsibilities

• Paid strategy across the portfolio: account architecture, bidding strategy, budget allocation, and the full conversion journey from auction to lead, across Google Ads and Meta
• Client relationships at senior level: leading strategy calls and quarterly reviews, defending decisions with data, having the honest conversation when something isn’t working, and being the reason clients renew
• Commercial performance of the paid media book: retention and growth of paid retainers is a number you’ll carry, not just campaign metrics
• The technical layer, end to end: you own measurement, not just media. If tracking is broken, attribution is lying, or a form isn’t firing, you find it and fix it
• Developing our PPC team: reviewing work, raising standards, and mentoring our PPC specialist and, in time, a junior executive
• The function itself: tooling, reporting, processes, and how paid media works here as we scale, including feeding audits and growth plans into new business

Requirements

• 5+ years hands-on paid media, including at least 2 years owning strategy without someone above you setting it
• You’ve personally managed meaningful monthly budgets across a multi-client portfolio, and can talk in detail about accounts you’ve turned around, not just accounts that were already working
• Led client relationships through renewals and through rough patches, including retaining clients when performance dipped
• A logical, evidence-first diagnostic method: you can explain exactly how you’d break down “the leads have dropped” into testable causes
• Experience mentoring or quality-reviewing other PPC people’s work
• Clear, honest communicator, comfortable telling a client (or the MD) something they don’t want to hear
• Agency experience preferred; strong in-house candidates who want portfolio variety will be considered
• The right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship)

Benefits

• Your birthday off
• A friendly, energetic team that’s good to be around
• Real ownership, and genuine learning and development across digital marketing
• Social events with the team
• Hybrid from our Central Milton Keynes studio
