  • Line manage one Paid Media Manager, with indirect oversight of a Paid Media Executive.
  • Act as the main point of contact for clients, delivering performance updates and strategic recommendations.
  • Oversee campaign planning, testing, and optimisation to drive measurable results.
  • Ensure delivery against client KPIs and budget targets.
  • Stay ahead of PPC trends, tools, and best practices, sharing knowledge across the team.
  • Collaborate with other channel leads to ensure an integrated paid media strategy.

Skills & Experience

  • Minimum 7 years’ hands-on PPC experience, ideally from a senior PPC or Paid Media Manager role.
  • Proven track record managing large monthly budgets (£100k–£300k).
  • Strong stakeholder and client management skills.
  • Experience leading, coaching, or mentoring team members.
  • Deep understanding of PPC platforms, bid strategies, and optimisation techniques.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and turn it into actionable insights.
  • Comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and clients.
  • Salary up to £55,000 (up to £60,000 for exceptional candidates)
  • 2 days per week in Leeds office
  • Opportunity to lead high-profile client accounts
  • Exposure to large budgets and complex paid media strategies
  • Join a collaborative and ambitious team with strong career progression opportunities
