Job Summary

Own and optimize paid social across major platforms, linking in-platform activity to CAC and first‑trade growth, while building data-driven audiences, reliable measurement, and AI-assisted automation to accelerate decision making.

  • Growth ownership: manage end-to-end paid social campaigns, aligning budgets, pacing, and bidding to CAC and FT growth.
  • Measurement and AI: implement robust conversion tracking, CAPI, and Looker Studio dashboards; automate reporting and flag anomalies with AI-assisted workflows.
  • Audience and creative iteration: leverage CDP-first audiences, test-and-learn for formats and creatives, and brief Celtra assets to improve CAC/FT.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Plan, set up, and manage paid social campaigns end-to-end across Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and TikTok, maintaining a clear line of sight from in-platform activity to downstream acquisition metrics.
  • Own campaign pacing, budgets, and bid strategies with a focus on reducing CAC and growing first trade (FT) volumes, not just improving in-platform efficiency.
  • Report on performance against CAC and FT targets, providing clear analysis of what is driving results and what needs to change.
  • Build and manage audience segmentation strategies across paid social platforms, leveraging IG’s CDP to activate first-party data, suppression lists, and lookalike audiences.
  • Work with the CDP and data teams to ensure audience feeds are accurate, up to date, and compliant with platform and regulatory requirements.
  • Own pixel and conversion tracking across paid social platforms using CM360, ensuring floodlight tags and tracking events are correctly implemented and QA’d.
  • Configure and maintain Conversions API (CAPI) integrations to improve signal quality and attribution accuracy in a privacy-constrained environment.
  • Build and maintain performance dashboards in Looker Studio using Funnel.io or equivalent, ensuring stakeholders have accurate, consistent, and timely visibility of performance.
  • Use AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or equivalent) to automate repetitive reporting tasks, accelerate insight generation, and reduce time spent on manual data work.
  • Build lightweight AI-assisted workflows – connecting data sources, automating summaries, and flagging performance anomalies – to improve the speed and quality of decision-making across the team.

Requirements

  • At least three years of hands-on paid social experience, agency-side or in-house, with a demonstrable focus on performance and customer acquisition – not brand awareness or organic social.
  • Proven track record managing and optimising paid social budgets across Meta and at least two of the following: Reddit, LinkedIn, X, TikTok – with results measured against CAC or equivalent acquisition KPIs.
  • Strong command of campaign structure, audience targeting, and bidding mechanics, including experience activating first-party audiences via a CDP or similar.
  • Experience implementing and QA’ing conversion tracking in CM360, including floodlight tag setup and troubleshooting.
  • Hands-on experience configuring Conversions API (CAPI) integrations on one or more paid social platforms.
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools to automate or improve reporting workflows, with the data literacy to build reliable, repeatable processes rather than one-off fixes.
  • Strong grasp of data – comfortable working with large datasets, identifying patterns, and knowing how to structure information to get meaningful outputs from AI tools.
  • Proficiency using reporting and data aggregation tools (Funnel.io, Supermetrics, or equivalent) to build cross-channel dashboards in Looker Studio or similar.

Preferred

  • Experience in financial services, fintech, or another regulated industry.
  • Familiarity with Celtra for dynamic creative production and paid social asset management.
  • Experience with programmatic display or paid search, giving broader understanding of the performance marketing mix.
  • Awareness of data privacy regulations and their implications for paid social targeting and measurement (GDPR, iOS signal loss, cookieless tracking).
  • Exposure to incrementality testing or multi-touch attribution modelling.
