Head of Paid Media | Manchester | £60,000–£65,000 | Permanent

I'm currently partnering with a growing independent media agency to recruit a Head of Paid Media to lead and develop their Paid Media function.

Reporting into the Senior Leadership Team, you'll be responsible for shaping Paid Media strategy, leading and developing the Paid Media team, driving commercial performance, and building long-term client relationships. This role offers genuine influence over the future direction of the agency's Paid Media offering.

We're looking to speak with candidates who have:

• Proven leadership experience within a Paid Media agency environment
• Strong expertise across Paid Search and Paid Social
• Experience managing and developing high-performing teams
• Excellent commercial awareness and senior client management skills
• A hands-on understanding of performance marketing, with the ability to support and mentor specialists when required

The role offers:

  • £60,000–£65,000 depending on experience
  • Full-time, permanent position
  • Hybrid working (3 days per week in the Manchester office)
  • Opportunity to join a fast-growing independent agency and play a key role in its continued growth

If you have the relevant experience and are looking for your next leadership opportunity, I'd be happy to discuss the role in more detail.

Please send me a direct message or email sophie@pivotallondon.co.uk.

Please note: this role is Manchester-based and requires attendance in the office three days per week. It is not a remote opportunity.
