I'm currently partnered with a high-growth, performance-driven digital marketing agency that's quietly becoming one of the most exciting operators in the space.

They've built a strong reputation working with ambitious brands across e-commerce and lead generation, with a clear focus on performance, accountability, and delivering measurable results. There's no unnecessary process or fluff - just a team of specialists who care about doing great work and continuously improving outcomes for their clients.

They're now looking for a Paid Media Specialist to join the team.

The Opportunity:

This is a hands-on, performance-led role where you'll take full ownership of paid media activity across a portfolio of clients.

You'll manage campaigns end-to-end -from strategy and build through to optimisation and scaling - with dedicated account managers supporting on client logistics. This allows you to stay focused on delivery, performance, and growth.

It's a great fit for someone who wants more autonomy, more impact, and clear visibility on the results they're driving.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Owning paid media accounts across Google Ads, Meta Ads, and ideally LinkedIn Ads
  • Building, launching, and optimising campaigns across multiple platforms
  • Developing clear, performance-led strategies aligned to client goals
  • Auditing existing activity and identifying growth opportunities
  • Driving results across ROAS, CPA, and revenue
  • Working across a mix of e-commerce and lead generation clients
  • Analysing performance data and turning it into actionable insights
  • Presenting strategies and recommendations directly to clients
  • Collaborating closely with account managers and the wider team

What They're Looking For:

  • 3-4 years' agency experience in paid media (or 5+ years in-house)
  • Strong hands-on experience across Google Ads and Meta Ads
  • Experience managing accounts independently
  • Confident communicator with client-facing experience
  • Strong analytical and performance-driven mindset

E-commerce Experience (Highly Desirable)

  • Google Merchant Center
  • Product feed optimisation (e.g. Shoptimised or similar)
  • Large product catalogues (10,000+ SKUs)
  • Magento environments

Bonus Experience

  • LinkedIn Ads
  • TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, or Amazon Ads
  • Email marketing platforms such as Klaviyo

Who You Are

  • Proactive and solutions-focused
  • Commercially minded and performance-driven
  • Comfortable owning accounts and making decisions
  • Confident presenting to clients
  • Motivated to improve and scale performance
  • Collaborative, positive, and high standards

What's On Offer

  • £40,000 - £45,000 salary depending on experience
  • Hybrid working (3 days per week in London Bridge or Birmingham)
  • Bupa healthcare
  • Pension
  • Generous annual leave
  • Regular team socials and events
  • A supportive, high-performing team environment
