Calling the paid media leaders who are bored of roles that are “strategic” in title only 👀

G.Digital | G&T(girls and tech!) have partnered with a performance agency looking for a Paid Media Director to step into a maternity cover contract and actually own the function, strategy, team, clients, growth, the lot.

So yes…this is one of those roles where you’ll have influence, autonomy, and a seat at the table (not just another reporting layer).

What you’ll be doing
  • Owning paid media strategy across Search, Social, Programmatic, Video, Display & Affiliate
  • Leading, mentoring, and levelling up a talented team
  • Acting as the senior strategic brain for clients and stakeholders
  • Driving performance, testing frameworks, and optimisation direction
  • Managing significant budgets with a strong ROI focus
  • Spotting growth opportunities and pushing innovation
  • Supporting wider agency growth and new business
👀 What they’re looking for
  • Senior leadership experience in paid media (agency ideal)
  • Proper multi-channel expertise, not just one platform comfort zone
  • Strong commercial mindset and confidence with large budgets
  • Analytical thinker who can turn data into decisions (not just dashboards)
  • A collaborative leader who builds teams, not silos
  • Confident communicator with senior presence
💡 Why this one is worth a chat
  • Real ownership and influence
  • Visible leadership role (you won’t be hidden in the engine room)
  • Hybrid working with a Leeds-based team

If you’ve been waiting for a role that feels like a step up, not a sideways shuffle with a fancier title; this might be it.
