Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Managing and optimising paid media campaigns day-to-day across Google Ads, Meta, and Display — always with an eye on performance against KPIs
  • Owning client communication for your accounts — building relationships, running reporting calls, and translating campaign data into clear commercial insight
  • Conducting regular account audits to surface issues and opportunities before clients do
  • Working with the Head of Paid Media to develop strategic plans for your clients — contributing your own thinking, not just executing
  • Ensuring spend is tracked accurately and budgets are managed tightly across all accounts
  • Using AI tooling to improve campaign efficiency and automate repeatable processes
  • Collaborating with SEO, Creative, and Digital PR teams to keep paid activity integrated with the wider strategy
  • Staying current on platform updates, industry trends, and iGaming regulatory changes that affect how you can advertise

Requirements

  • 2+ years' paid media experience, ideally agency-side, across Google Ads and/or Meta
  • Hands-on campaign management experience — building, optimising, and reporting across live accounts
  • Google Ads or Meta certified — or actively working towards it
  • Comfortable in client-facing environments — you can run a reporting call and handle a difficult question without escalating everything
  • Numerate and analytical: you work with data confidently and translate it into clear recommendations
  • Strong written and verbal communication — reports and presentations that clients actually understand
  • Organised enough to manage multiple accounts simultaneously without things slipping

Preferred

  • iGaming or regulated-sector experience — we'll get you up to speed if not
  • Experience with AI tooling or automation in a paid media workflow
  • Familiarity with programmatic or Display advertising beyond search and social

Benefits

  • Pay and Rewards That Reflect Your Work Competitive salaries benchmarked annually, a company bonus paid twice a year, enhanced pension contributions as your career develops, a Long-Term Incentive Plan, and generous referral bonuses. Good work gets rewarded here.
  • Your Contribution, Recognised Monthly MVP Award (£100), Values Champion recognition (£25 plus a prize wheel spin up to £100), and an annual Player of the Season award (up to £250). Weekly shout-outs and appreciation from colleagues and managers are just part of how we work.
  • Health and Wellbeing Free annual health checks, flu jabs, and eye tests. Access to mental health first aiders, confidential counselling sessions, a cycle-to-work scheme, and five paid sick days on top of SSP. We take looking after our people seriously.
  • Time That's Yours 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) rising to 30 with tenure, your birthday off, flexible working hours, hybrid and remote options, and two weeks working abroad. Enhanced maternity and paternity pay, and work that fits around your life, not the other way around.
  • A Team Worth Being Part Of Regular Lunch 'n' Learns, quarterly off-sites, monthly socials, two paid volunteering days, an annual charity partnership chosen by the team, and an AI Taskforce putting innovation in everyone's hands. We're building something together — and that should feel like it.
