Paid Search Manager
£45,000–£65,000 DOE
London (Hybrid)
Our client is a fast-growing, award-winning direct-to-consumer brand with an expanding product range, high-profile partnerships, and a refreshingly ambitious marketing team. Having recently returned to TV and out-of-home advertising, they are now investing seriously in performance search — and this hire sits at the centre of that shift.
The opportunity
-
Step into a business that has just run incrementality modelling confirming search as one of its highest-value channels — meaning real budget is moving your way
-
A rare in-house role where you can scale Google Search from a strong foundation rather than building from zero
-
Own the agency relationship for SEO too — bridging paid and organic search in a way few manager-level roles allow
-
Work alongside senior performance marketing leadership with backgrounds in high-growth consumer brands
Responsibilities
-
Own and scale Google Ads campaigns day-to-day — generic search, shopping, and across the broader Google ecosystem
-
Manage Google Merchant Center and Shopify product feeds, including hands-on work with SKU variants and campaign alignment
-
Report on performance to internal stakeholders, including translating CAC and incrementality data into clear narratives for finance and leadership
-
Manage the SEO agency relationship and identify opportunities to connect paid and organic search activity
-
Feed insight into CRO and on-site journey improvements in collaboration with the site team
Your profile
-
2–5 years of hands-on Google Ads experience exposure to e-commerce or DTC brands either inhouse or via agency preferred.
-
Comfortable working across Google Merchant Center and Shopify — you understand how shopping feeds are built and why they go wrong
-
Solid grasp of unit economics: AOV, LTV, CAC, and how they inform which campaigns and SKUs to prioritise
-
Confident interpreting data and building a story around performance — whether through Looker Studio, scripts, or AI-assisted reporting
-
A working knowledge of SEO and how it connects to paid search strategy; agency management experience is a bonus
