Job Summary

Own and optimize a multi-market paid media engine, aligning channel mix, pacing, and CPA targets with incremental insights to maximize payback across Europe and the UK.

  • Growth Engine: drive cross-platform paid media, tiered market allocation, and data-driven sequencing to scale high-potential markets while preserving efficiency.
  • Sales & Field Alignment: partner with sales for capacity planning, handoffs, and field-driven saturation to improve SMB CAC payback.
  • Measurement & Governance: own the lead-qualification stack and attribution-driven decisions, embedding incrementality tests to prune spurious spend.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the paid media engine across Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms — pacing, channel mix, CPA accountability, daily kill discipline across 9 markets.
  • Apply tiered allocation rules across our market portfolio (scale spend in top markets, test spend in tier 1 markets, maintain spend in satellites). Use agents to enforce them; override with judgement when the data demands.
  • Make the call on scaling, killing, sequencing across markets. Agents flag; you decide.
  • Manage platform and agency relationships, ensuring sharp briefs and clear performance bars.
  • Run the paid media inside our hyperlocal engine alongside the VP — seasonal flights, multi-week density saturation in hospitality-dense cities, paired with field/inside sales saturation.
  • Layer the media mix per city: DOOH + programmatic display as the control layer; local radio, print press, guerrilla activation, YouTube brand or billboards depending on market.
  • Pair with field/inside sales on saturation density — paired media + sales density is how SMB CAC is broken at scale.
  • Own the lead-qualification engine: every inbound lead scored against the ICP, qualified routed to sales, unqualified routed to nurture.
  • Partner with Sales on capacity, handoffs, in-country pacing. Sales-marketing alignment lives in your pod.
  • Use the org's attribution & incrementality stack as the source of truth on what's actually driving growth. Stop spending on what isn't.
  • Bring incrementality discipline to channel mix decisions — geo-lift, hold-out testing, MMM reads.
  • Own the digital-side input into the payback discipline that gates every investment.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in digital / paid performance / growth marketing, ideally in fintech, SaaS, technology or digitally sophisticated, product-led businesses
  • Payments / merchant services / SME-focus a strong plus
  • Proven success running paid media at scale — owned a sizeable monthly media budget across Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms, and made CPA / payback land
  • Built the marketing↔sales bridge before — lead scoring, qualification, hand-off rituals, capacity coordination
  • Sales-marketing alignment experience
  • Multi-market experience — running paid across multiple European markets with different cultural contexts, regulations and platform realities
  • Incrementality-fluent — geo-lift, MMM, hold-out testing, causal attribution
  • Strong leader and operator — define vision and run weekly performance reviews with the same fluency
  • Agentic by default — you already use AI agents in your own paid workflow (bid management, creative testing, audience generation, reporting)
  • Central London, 4 days/week — close collaboration with the VP, Creative, Marketing Engineers and Sales teams

Preferred

  • Payment/merchant services / SME-focus experience a strong plus
  • AI portfolio with 2–3 specific examples where AI multiplied your work — what you built, what it replaced, what you learned, and how you’d port that into Teya's stack (in interview)
  • Central London, 4 days/week experience preferred

Benefits

  • Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps
  • Our company offers extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices, giving employees more flexibility and support
  • Cycle-to-Work Scheme
  • Health and Life Insurance
  • Pension Scheme
  • 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays)
  • Office snacks every day
  • Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment in Central London
