Paid Search Data Technology Manager
Remote-first (UK preferred) | ~£75,000 base + 12% annual bonus
We’re partnering exclusively with a global leader in online travel experiences to find their next Paid Search Data Technology Manager — a rare opportunity for someone working at the intersection of performance marketing, martech, and data science.
This remote-first role sits at the heart of a high-impact SEM function, where technical innovation and data-led strategy are critical to growth. You won’t just support campaigns — you’ll help engineer the systems and signals that drive one of the largest paid search programmes in the travel space.
Why This Role Matters
In today’s performance landscape, paid search is driven as much by intelligent data usage as it is by creative strategy. This role is central to powering sophisticated bidding systems using first-party data, advanced modelling, and automation.
You’ll report directly to a senior leader with a strong technical and commercial background, in a culture that prioritizes ownership over micromanagement and impact over process.
What You’ll Do
-
Own and optimise data integrations between internal systems and platforms like Google Ads, SA360, and BigQuery.
-
Monitor and troubleshoot pipeline operations to ensure seamless signal flow into bidding systems.
-
Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to enhance SEM targeting through better data use and modelling.
-
Lead key innovation projects — such as developing LTV models, experimenting with behavioural signals, and unlocking scale via custom audiences.
-
Document workflows, drive automation, and proactively introduce new technologies and tools.
What You’ll Bring
-
Solid technical foundation, especially in SQL, BigQuery, and data pipelines.
-
Experience working in or with paid search/SEM — with a clear understanding of how bidding strategy connects to business outcomes.
-
Familiarity with martech platforms, and the ability to troubleshoot and optimise systems.
-
Strong communication skills to translate complex data into clear insights and influence stakeholders.
-
A proactive, curious mindset — ideally with exposure to Python/R or collaboration with ML teams.
