Description

We're looking for a brilliant, hands-on Senior Paid Media Manager to join us at our HQ in Malmesbury. This is a role for a true paid media native, someone who lives and breathes performance marketing, loves interrogating data, and is relentlessly focused on commercial outcomes looking for the next big step in their career.

You'll be responsible for planning, launching, and optimising paid media campaigns across a range of channels, initially managing activity in Canada and the UAE, with all other markets to follow as the team grows. This role will be our first in-house paid role, with plans to build out our in-house team. This role will grow into the lead for that team, so we need a natural people manager who can adapt quickly as their team grows.

While performance is key, you'll also have a strong understanding of what great creative looks like, and how messaging, formats, and audiences work together to drive results. You will have worked with creative teams and be obsessed with testing creative to get the best results.

This role is UK-office based, working closely with our in-house marketing, creative and brand teams, as well as our growing teams based in the US and Europe.
