About the role:
You’ll manage paid advertising campaigns across major digital platforms, leading a small team and owning the performance metrics that show whether campaigns are winning. This is a fully remote role where you’ll work hands-on with multiple client accounts, optimise spend and returns, and help grow the service into new areas.

Department management: hiring, training and performance reviews for media specialists; setting quality standards and pricing to protect department margins.
Campaign strategy: designing full-funnel advertising architecture across multiple platforms matched to each client’s business model; running regular optimisation cycles on spend, conversion rates and customer acquisition costs.
Performance diagnosis: identifying root causes of underperformance (creative, offers, landing pages, pricing) and delivering prioritised fix plans backed by data.
Client leadership: running performance reviews, forecasts and strategy sessions with client founders and executives.
Process building: creating department playbooks including audit frameworks, quality checklists, onboarding procedures and performance dashboards.
Growth: expanding paid advertising services across the existing client base and exploring new platform opportunities.
What you’ll do in practice:
Spend your first 30 days ramping up with an established team and client roster, building relationships and understanding each account.
Design and optimise advertising campaigns across platforms, managing spend allocation and monitoring performance metrics weekly.
Write data-driven creative briefs that outline testing strategy, offers, key messages and format choices.
Lead client strategy calls, present findings and defend recommendations with account-level data.

Agency experience managing multiple client accounts simultaneously and presenting to founders and executives.
Proficiency with major advertising platforms and analytics tools; familiarity with e-commerce platforms.
Bonus qualifications:
