Ada Meher is partnered with a growing Digital Marketing Agency as they seek a Head of Paid Media to lead their established team of 8 FTE. The team deliver paid media campaigns across a diverse portfolio of eCommerce clients, with a particular focus on Meta advertising and Google Ads/PPC.

They value proactive, independent thinkers who are confident managing client relationships, empowering team members, identifying opportunities for improvement and delivering campaigns that make a genuine commercial impact.

As part of their collaborative culture, the successful candidate can be based locally to either their Leeds or Liverpool office, with the expectation of spending three days per week in the office. To support a healthy work/life balance, the business also offers flexible working hours, allowing employees to manage their schedules around office attendance while maintaining a collaborative team environment.

• Demonstrable experience managing Paid Media campaigns (incl PPC & Social Media)
• At least 2 years’ experience working within a digital marketing agency, ideally ecommerce focused
• Strong experience managing Meta Ads campaigns
• Confident analysing campaign performance, conversion rates and campaign optimisation
• Experience with reporting tools such as Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) would be a bonus
• Proactive, self-motivated and comfortable working independently
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

As well as the opportunity to work on exciting client campaigns, the business is committed to supporting the development of its people, encouraging autonomy and providing the resources needed to continue learning and progressing your career. If you feel you tick most of the boxes but have a key development area, we’d still love to hear from you.
