An independent, fast-growing media agency is investing significantly in its paid media capability following a strong period of client growth.

The role

n

This is a search-led Paid Media Manager role, supporting and eventually taking on shared ownership of paid search activity across the client portfolio, before expanding into paid social and programmatic. Initially:

• ~50% supporting on paid search management across the client base

n

• ~50% getting up to speed on paid social and programmatic across a range of accounts

n

Over time, you'll build a genuinely cross-channel remit, working directly with senior stakeholders on strategy and delivery.

What we're looking for

n

n

n
• Strong hands-on experience in paid search (Google Ads) as a core channel

n

• Comfortable adapting to paid social and programmatic — audience-based buying experience a plus

n

• Open to candidates from network or independent agency backgrounds

n

• Curious, questioning, and genuinely invested in doing great work — not just managing campaigns, but challenging and improving them

n

• A collaborative, hands-on attitude suited to a smaller agency environment

n

n

n

Please note: Candidates must have full right to work in the UK. This role does not offer visa sponsorship.

Process

1. Initial Teams call (45–60 mins) – competency-based, getting to know your experience and fit

n

2. Face-to-face second stage- a short test, followed by a presentation and conversation
