As a successful candidate, you will be given a clear progression path. We want rising talent to grow with us and there is ample opportunity for you to progress to the next level.

We are also very proud to have been listed on the “Flexa 100” Most Flexible Companies to work for and to be officially recognised as a Great Place to Work®.

Who are you?

  • You have at least 2 years experience managing high performance Paid Media campaigns, with a focus on Search and/or Shopping.

  • You’ve been involved in scaling accounts through hands-on optimisation, and are beginning to take on elements of Paid Media strategy.

  • You are an engaging, confident communicator, with experience presenting results and updates to key client stakeholders.

  • You have an appreciation for the craft of PPC, with an advanced understanding of Google Ads (Search, Shopping and Display).

  • You’re fluent in all things spreadsheets, and have a fondness for investigation through data.

  • You enjoy working with others as a part of a team, and want to continue working in a collaborative environment to meet shared goals.

  • You will likely have used SA360, Marin or Kenshoo to manage PPC campaigns in the past - but your commitment to learning means that you’re constantly trying new tools and features.

What will you be doing?

  • Working as part of a team to manage, optimise, and drive continuous growth through Paid Search and Shopping on some of our biggest accounts.

  • Taking ownership of the entire client life-cycle for some of our small-medium accounts; devising strategy, building campaigns, optimising for growth, sharing results.

  • Ensuring proactive delivery of PPC performance, escalating account issues to your team lead and working together to solve challenging problems.

  • Innovating and always trying to find a ‘better way’ of delivering great results for your clients, whether that be through campaign testing, scripting, or recommending new channels etc.

  • Working closely with our amazing clients, building productive relationships in order to deliver the best performance for their businesses.

  • Challenging yourself, your team, and your clients to ensure we’re always collectively driving in the same direction whilst being respectful, fair, and focused on results as we do it.

  • Getting involved with new business pitching, showcasing your expert knowledge to receptive prospects.

Salary: £29,800
