Genie Shopping is a UK-based, high-growth performance marketing business operating through the affiliate channel and CSS ecosystem. As a certified Google CSS Premium Partner, we work with retail giants like Boots, ebay, Frasers, B&Q, Currys, and Look fantastic, serving over 57 billion ad impressions to users across our network.

We differentiate ourselves through our managed CSS CPA model and our technical scale. We don’t act as a traditional CSS; we act as a performance partner. Alongside our self‑managed SaaS offering, our core revenue comes from our CPA model, which means our success is directly aligned with our clients'. We are a driving force in the industry, leading the conversation through education, sponsorship, and active event contribution.

This approach has led to huge success, doubling our growth in 2024 and setting new records in 2025.

We are a certified Great Place to Work with a remote‑first setup. Our environment is small (~20 people) but ambitious. We value:

Autonomy:
We hire people who want to own their output. If you love solving complex problems and implementing your own ideas, you will thrive here.

Connection:
We prioritise culture over geography. We get together for proper team socials every quarter - think punting, cocktail making, and go‑karting, to ensure we stay connected as people, not just colleagues.

The team is remotely based, but has fluidity in meeting in-person for client meetings, industry events, strategy days and team socials. There are requirements to travel to Cambridge around once a month, with London (or other UK locations) once a month on average.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated PPC Manager to join our dynamic team. As a Google Premium CSS partner, Genie Shopping is at the forefront of digital advertising, specialising in performance shopping campaigns. This role is pivotal to our strategy, focusing on optimising and managing paid media campaigns to drive our clients' success. Your expertise in Google & Microsoft Shopping Ads and feed management will be crucial in delivering exceptional results and maintaining our position as a leader in the industry.

You will oversee campaigns for our 1000+ retail clients, working closely with the PPC Lead to optimise campaigns, grow revenue, and identify new opportunities for growth.

As a PPC Manager, you'll be at the forefront of our paid search innovation, working with vast datasets to generate powerful insights and drive success for both Genie Shopping and our clients. This dynamic role offers you the autonomy to experiment with new ideas and philosophies, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in Shopping Ads campaigns. Your key responsibilities will include:
