Senior Paid Media Manager

Senior Paid Media Manager

Most paid media roles ask you to be a hand on the keyboard or a strategist on the call. Rarely both. This one needs both. You'll own paid media end-to-end for a roster of brands that take performance seriously. Strategy, channel mix, builds, optimisation, reporting, and the calls where you explain what the numbers actually mean. The client knows your name.

You know their business. The work moves because of that relationship.

You'll lead paid media strategy across every channel that matters: audience planning, budget allocation, funnel design, and campaign architecture. You'll take a client brief and turn it into a media plan that holds up under pressure. Then you'll build it, ship it, and stay on the controls. That means hands-on setup and trafficking across Meta, Google, Tik Tok, and whatever else the plan calls for.

Pacing, bid strategy, creative iteration, and the kind of quality assurance that catches the issue before the client does. You own performance, not just oversight. You'll also be the client's primary contact. Performance calls, written updates, the moment when a flat week needs a clear explanation and a sharper plan. Translating data into decisions is most of the job. Reporting sits with you too.

Build the dashboards, set the cadence, deliver the insight. Track against KPIs and benchmarks, and recommend what to do next. Funnel.io, Looker Studio, Tableau, Agency Analytics - whichever stack the work demands.

We're a tight-knit team of creative, data-driven people building services with some of the largest brands in the world. The work is real, the clients are tier-one, and the culture is built on three things: autonomy, transparency, and high performance. If you need to be managed into doing good work, this won't be the fit. If you've been waiting for the environment to do your best work in, it might be.

You'll work alongside people who are genuinely good at what they do, on accounts where the decisions you make show up in the numbers the same week.

Fully remote. Work from anywhere that works for you. Flexible hours. We care about outcomes, not optics. Unlimited time off and sick days. Take what you need. Come back better. Real room to grow. Fast-growing agency, fast-growing scope.
