Their approach is data-led, experimental, and focused on driving real business outcomes such as revenue growth, acquisition, efficiency, and scale.

  • Collaborate closely with PMMs and wider teams to ensure campaigns deliver measurable business results
  • Mentor and provide guidance on paid social best practices where needed
  • Escalate and troubleshoot campaign issues across the portfolio
  • Stay ahead of social media trends, testing new ad formats and approaches to improve results

What They Offer

  • Join a fast-growing agency (revenue quadrupled YoY; team scaled from 5 to 30) with excellent development opportunities
  • A lovely office in Central London with flexibility to work from anywhere
  • Exposure to a diverse, exciting client portfolio that will accelerate your career
  • Regular socials and company celebrations, with a collaborative and ambitious culture
  • Discretionary bonus

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

  • Have solid 3+ years Paid Social experience (with a Meta & TikTok focus)
