Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Campaign Execution. Plan, build, traffic and optimise campaigns end-to-end across Meta Ads Manager, Instagram and TikTok Ads.
  • Audience & Targeting. Own audience strategy: retargeting pools, lookalikes, CRM-matched segments and interest-based prospecting.
  • Optimisation. Monitor daily performance and make real-time bid, budget and creative decisions to hit CPA and volume targets.
  • Reporting. Own performance reporting: build dashboards, run weekly stakeholder read-outs and translate data into clear commercial actions.
  • Testing. Design and interpret A/B tests and incrementality studies — audience, creative and placement — and present findings with clear recommendations.
  • Creative. Manage creative briefing workflows with in-house or agency teams, ensuring assets are built for platform and tested systematically.
  • Agency Management. Act as day-to-day contact for social agency partners, holding them to high standards on delivery and insight.

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of hands-on paid social experience — you've built and trafficked the campaigns, not just overseen them.
  • Deep platform expertise across Meta Ads Manager, Instagram and TikTok; confident operating independently across all three.
  • Strong grasp of audience mechanics: pixel-based retargeting, CRM matching, lookalikes, exclusions and sequential messaging.
  • Analytically rigorous — comfortable modelling media plans, calculating break-even CPAs and spotting when data doesn't add up.
  • Track record managing meaningful budgets (£300k+ annually) and delivering against performance KPIs.
  • Fluent in Excel or Google Sheets; experience with Tableau, Looker Studio or similar reporting tools.
  • Commercially curious — you ask 'why' before 'what' and connect your work to business outcomes, not just platform metrics.

Preferred

  • Exposure to display or programmatic platforms: DV360, The Trade Desk, Campaign Manager 360.
  • Experience with ad servers, tag management (GTM, Floodlight) or brand safety tools (IAS, DoubleVerify).
  • Familiarity with attribution modelling, MMM or incrementality testing frameworks.
  • SQL or Python for data querying and analysis.

  • Enhanced pension contributions. (5% employer)
