We are working with an established digital agency that partners with ambitious brands across fast-moving, performance-led sectors. They are now looking for a Paid Media Manager to join the team and support the continued growth of their paid media offering.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a Paid Media Manager who enjoys being hands-on with campaigns, but also wants variety, client contact and the chance to develop within a commercially driven agency environment.
The agency has a remote-first set-up, although you will need to be based in the UK. You will be joining a supportive, ambitious team that invests properly in training, development and career progression.
The role
As Paid Media Manager, you will be responsible for managing and optimising paid media activity across a portfolio of clients. The channel mix will vary depending on the client, and will be Paid Search focussed.
You will work closely with senior paid media specialists and the wider digital team, contributing to both the day-to-day running of campaigns and the wider strategic direction of accounts.
Your role will involve:
Managing and optimising paid media campaigns across Google Ads, Meta and Display
Monitoring campaign performance against agreed KPIs and making clear recommendations for improvement
Managing budgets carefully and making sure spend is tracked accurately
Running regular account audits to identify opportunities, issues and areas for improvement
Preparing client reports and presenting performance in a clear, commercially useful way
Building strong client relationships and being a trusted day-to-day contact
Working with senior team members to shape paid media strategy across accounts
Using AI tools and automation to improve efficiency where relevant
Collaborating with other channel specialists, including SEO, Paid Social, creative and digital PR teams
Keeping up to date with platform updates, paid media trends and advertising considerations within regulated sectors
What we are looking for
You will need:
At least 2 years’ paid media experience, ideally within an agency environment
Hands-on experience managing live paid media campaigns across Google Ads and/or Meta
Strong analytical skills and confidence working with campaign data
The ability to turn performance data into clear, useful recommendations
Experience producing reports and explaining results to clients or stakeholders
Confidence in client-facing situations, including reporting calls and answering questions
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple accounts at once
Good written and verbal communication skills
Google Ads or Meta certification, or be actively working towards this
It would be a bonus if you have:
Experience working across regulated or highly competitive sectors
Experience using AI tools or automation within paid media workflows
Exposure to Display or programmatic advertising
What you will be measured on
Success in this role will be based on campaign performance, budget accuracy, quality and timeliness of reporting, client satisfaction and your ability to stay on top of multiple accounts without the detail slipping.
What is on offer
Salary between £32,000 and £42,000 depending on experience
Remote-first working, with flexibility around how you work
UK based role
Clear career pathways and regular development conversations
Training academy, team training budgets and access to learning platforms
Company bonus scheme
Enhanced pension contributions as your career develops
Recognition schemes and regular team shout-outs
25 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with length of service
Birthday off
Flexible working hours
Option to work abroad for a short period each year
Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
Health checks, eye tests, flu jabs and mental health support
Paid volunteering days
Regular team socials, learning sessions and off-sites
This is a great role for someone who wants to build their paid media career within a high-performing agency environment where performance, pace and commercial thinking really matter.
If you are a Paid Media Executive ready to step up, or a Paid Media Manager looking for more variety and ownership, this could be a really strong next move
