The Role

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Paid Media leader (Director or exceptional Senior Manager ready to step up) to take a pivotal role in shaping client success and team growth. You will lead a client portfolio, acting as the senior strategic advisor. Crucially, this role demands a leader who remains deeply connected to the platforms (Paid Search/Social); you understand that true strategic insight comes from knowing how things actually work ‘on the tools’. You’ll balance high-level client relationship management and strategy with ensuring executional excellence, spending significant time ensuring platform performance aligns with goals. If you’re looking for a leadership role that values deep platform expertise alongside strategic and client management skills, this is it.

You Will:

• Act as the client lead and senior strategic advisor for a portfolio of performance-focused accounts.
• Develop, oversee, and ensure the successful execution of sophisticated Paid Media strategies (Search, Social, etc.).
• Spend considerable time (approx. 30-40%) overseeing and analysing platform performance to guide optimisation and strategy.
• Build strong client relationships, confidently communicating performance, strategy, and insights directly.
• Potentially contribute to new business pitches and strategic proposals.
• Lead a team, mentoring and developing talent within the agency.
• Champion best practices within Paid Media, staying across platform developments and opportunities.

This Role Is For You If:

• You possess deep expertise in Paid Media platforms (Google Ads, Paid Social etc.) and believe staying connected to them is vital for effective strategy.
• You are a strategic thinker capable of managing a client portfolio and driving growth.
• You are comfortable acting as a senior client lead and communicating with authority.
• You are an experienced Senior Manager looking for a Director role or an existing Director seeking a hands-on leadership challenge.
• You thrive in a dynamic environment and enjoy mentoring others.

It’s Not For You If:

• You view Director roles as purely strategic and disconnected from platform execution and analysis.
• You prefer managing from a distance rather than being involved in platform oversight.
• You aren’t comfortable across both Paid Search and Paid Social concepts.
• You prefer large, siloed teams over a more integrated, hands-on agency structure.

What Excites Us:

• Significant experience (approx. 7+ years, flexible for the right candidate) in Paid Media, operating at a senior level (Director or high-performing Senior Manager).
• Proven success managing client relationships and driving results within performance marketing campaigns.
• Hands-on proficiency and deep understanding of platforms like Google Ads and Paid Social media platforms.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable strategic insights.
• Excellent communication and leadership capabilities.

What’s In It For You:

• Competitive salary and benefits package commensurate with experience.
• Enjoy flexibility in your work arrangements, supporting work/life harmony.
• Opportunity to lead and shape a growing team/pod within the agency.
• Work with diverse clients with decent budgets on performance-focused campaigns.
• Be part of a dynamic, diverse, and growing company that values innovation and results.
• Make a real difference in the success of clients across diverse industries.
• Work alongside other subject-matter experts in a supportive environment.
