We’re partnering with a high-growth, independent media agency known for delivering performance-led, multi-channel campaigns for well-known brands across property, travel, fashion, gaming, and eCommerce.

They’re now looking to add a Paid Search Manager to their performance team - someone who enjoys owning accounts, driving measurable growth, and working closely with clients on meaningful budgets.

Why this stands out

* Employee ownership scheme after 12 months (typically worth 10–15% annual bonus)

* Clear progression pathway as the agency continues to grow

* Supportive, down-to-earth culture with strong investment in development

* Exposure to varied, high-quality client campaigns - no pigeonholing

The role

You’ll take ownership of paid search activity across a portfolio of larger, established clients, with real scope to influence strategy rather than just execution.

* Own and optimise Paid Search campaigns across Google Ads & Microsoft Ads

* Analyse performance trends, test new approaches, and continuously improve ROI

* Manage larger budgets with a focus on growth, efficiency, and scale

* Present insights, performance, and recommendations directly to clients

What they’re looking for

* 2+ years’ experience managing PPC / Paid Search campaigns

* Agency experience preferred, but not essential

* Confident working with larger accounts and budgets

* Strong analytical mindset - comfortable turning data into insight
