Digital Marketing Manager - PPC, SEO & Digital Optimisation

Central London Office (Hybrid - 2 days in office)

Salary up to £40,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Are you a hands‑on digital marketer with strong PPC, SEO and optimisation skills, looking for the next step in your marketing career?

Do you thrive on experimentation, problem‑solving, and advancing digital performance? Ever thought about working in a b2b events business?

I'm working with a London based growing events and content business looking for a Digital Marketing Manager to take ownership of cross‑channel performance, drive digital transformation, and elevate digital marketing across a portfolio of global B2B events.

This role is ideal for a digital marketer currently working in a digital or performance marketing agency or b2b event business, ready to step up into a role with more responsibility, ownership and impact.

You'll get to work across multiple industries, mentor a Digital Marketing Executive, and have the freedom to test, learn and innovate every day.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking full ownership of PPC performance across Google, Meta and LinkedIn, improving ROAS and testing new formats.
• Leading SEO execution: technical improvements, audits, content optimisation and ranking performance.
• Improving website optimisation and UX across multiple event sites (WordPress/Elementor/ACF).
• Enhancing cross‑channel performance through CRO, landing page optimisation and data‑driven targeting.
• Driving digital transformation projects and embedding new tech, tools and AI workflows.
• Mentoring a Digital Marketing Exec, guiding campaign setup, QA, and best practice.
• Reporting on campaign and website performance.

What We're Looking For

\

• 2-3 years' experience in Digital Marketing - PPC, SEO, CRO and performance marketing (agency or b2b events experience strongly preferred).
• Confident with GA4, SEMRush, WordPress and ad platform optimisation.
• A proactive problem‑solver who enjoys fixing things, testing ideas and driving improvement.
• Creative mindset - ability to produce or repurpose content; design/video skills are a bonus, not essential.
• Strong organisational and project management skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Comfortable mentoring junior marketers and standardising processes.

Why This Role?

• Work across multiple industries with huge variety in campaigns and audiences.
• True ownership of digital performance and transformation initiatives.
• Hybrid working, health insurance, and international travel opportunities.
• Friendly, collaborative team, with lots of great socials.

If you're looking for a step up where you can own performance, innovate boldly and make a visible impact, I'd love to chat.
