The Opportunity

At Sephora, we’re redefining beauty and how we show up in the digital space is no exception. We’re looking for a Paid Search & Display Executive to join our growing UK Performance Marketing team. Reporting into the Performance Marketing Manager, you’ll be the go-to for the day-to-day management and optimisation of paid search and display activity. You'll play a critical role in driving revenue and return on ad spend across key digital platforms, while staying at the forefront of paid media trends and innovation.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape how Sephora shows up across the digital landscape in the UK.

You Will Also Be Responsible For:

• Supporting the Performance Marketing Manager with budget planning and recommending budget allocation across platforms and campaigns

• Producing detailed weekly and monthly reports, delivering actionable insights and analysis

• Collaborating cross-functionally with teams like Trade, CRM, Category Managers and Brand to ensure full-funnel campaign alignment

• Running A/B tests on ad creative, landing pages, and targeting to continuously improve conversion and effectiveness

• Sharing industry trends and platform updates with the wider team regularly

• Communicating test results and performance updates to stakeholders and making data-driven recommendations

What You’ll Bring

With hands-on experience in paid search and display campaigns, you have a proven ability to optimise performance and deliver against ambitious ROAS and revenue goals. Data-driven and results-focused, you know how to turn insights into action and are always looking for opportunities to drive performance forward.

You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoy working cross-functionally to create campaigns that align across the full marketing funnel. With a balance of strategic thinking and operational rigour, you’re comfortable diving into the detail while keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Our Ideal Candidate Will Also Possess:

• Strong knowledge of Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and SA360

• Experience with display platforms such as Criteo and RTB House

• Proficiency in Excel and data analysis tools

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

• Confident communication and stakeholder management abilities

• A genuine passion for digital marketing and the beauty industry

Here, you will find:

• Community, in which authenticity is embraced, and the strength of our differences fuels our collective spirit.
