Job Summary

Own the paid media engine for a regulated financial product, driving revenue, LTV, and payback by rigorously optimizing Meta, TikTok, and Google campaigns, managing half-to-one-and-a-half million-pound budgets, and aligning creative and landing-page experiments with a post-click journey from click to activation.

  • Own end-to-end paid media: setup, optimization, reporting, and agency partnership.
  • Drive revenue and LTV: focus on payback and activation, not vanity metrics.
  • Cross-functional leadership: collaborate with Creative, Content, PR, and Design to align brand and performance.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Run Meta end-to-end, in-house: campaign setup, audience strategy, creative testing, optimisation, and reporting. You know Ads Manager like the back of your hand — you're not learning it here.
  • You have also have experience across TikTok, and Google. You've run campaigns on all three and can make the case for how each fits the channel mix.
  • Own paid budgets of £500k–£1.5m per year. You're not precious about spend; you care about what it returns. You make the call on where to push and where to pull back — and you can explain why to Finance.
  • Optimise to revenue, LTV, and payback period. Not cost-per-lead. If the metric doesn't connect to a cardmember who activates and sticks around, it doesn't make the weekly report. A note that we focus our media spend on credit acquisition, not debit.
  • Build and test landing pages that convert. You understand the full path from ad click to card application — and you know a bad landing page will kill a great campaign.
  • Stay on top of platform changes, algorithm updates, and creative formats that actually perform.
  • Agency management: Own the day-to-day relationship with our agency partner, who supports on strategy and creative production.
  • Brief clearly, give useful feedback, and push back when the work isn't up to standard. You're the quality filter, not a post box.
  • Understand that great creative is a performance lever, not a nice-to-have. The best paid marketers are also strong creative collaborators.
  • Work closely with our Creative, Content, and PR leads to develop assets that work across paid and organic. Brand and performance are not separate at Yonder.

Requirements

  • Expert-level Meta experience — you set up, structure, and optimise campaigns yourself. Not oversee. Not delegate. Do.
  • Proven experience across Meta, TikTok, and Google — all three, with receipts.
  • You optimise to revenue and LTV. Payback period is a phrase you use in real conversations, not just job applications.
  • Experience managing paid budgets of £500k–£1.5m. You make commercial decisions, not just tactical ones.
  • App-first and web-to-app experience — you know how paid drives installs and what the handoff to onboarding looks.
  • MMP and attribution experience (we use Singular) — you can interrogate attribution data and know where it lies.
  • Strong data analytics capability. You pull insight from numbers; you don't just read dashboards someone else built.
  • Full funnel understanding — you know your job starts at the scroll and doesn't end at the install.
  • Brand-side experience — you've worked in-house, done the work yourself, and you're faster for it.
  • AI native — you use AI to move faster and think sharper. You're constantly looking for a more efficient way to do what you did yesterday.
  • Knowledge of credit advertising and regulated financial product constraints is a meaningful advantage.

Nice to have

  • Experience marketing financial products — particularly credit cards or regulated lending. Understanding of the compliance constraints that come with it is a meaningful advantage.
  • Direct experience owning an agency relationship, not just working alongside one.
  • CRM or lifecycle marketing experience — you understand what happens post sign-up and why it matters to the paid funnel.
  • Familiarity with A/B testing at a creative and landing page level.

Benefits

  • £47,808 - £62,369 annual salary depending on experience
  • £31,307 - £51,327 stock options
  • 35 holidays (27 days annual leave + 8 days public leave)
  • 2x team-building offsites per year (1 in the UK, 1 abroad)
  • Private healthcare with Bupa
  • Up to 12 weeks enhanced parental leave after being with Yonder for 1 year
  • Learning & training allowance (£750/year) that you can use on books, courses, etc
  • Regular team breakfasts and lunch
  • Regular team events like Mini-golf, Escape Room, Cocktail making
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
