The Role:

You’ll take ownership of optimising paid search, social, and programmatic campaigns, managing large-scale activity across all three channels for our Higher Education clients.

This role would suit an existing Paid Media Executive, or a marketer with some hands-on paid media experience, who is looking to work on high-budget campaigns and gain broader exposure across key areas of paid media in a fast-paced, varied role.

The Opportunity:

Join our award winning Digital team! Where you will gain exposure globally, across our 5 offices, but also exposure to wider workings of Paid Media. We are looking for someone to handle full paid media campaign management for global clients, and everything else that comes along with it. This role would be great for a current paid media or performance executive looking to unleash their expertise in a new role but also step up - working with six figure budgets across multiple clients!

• Become a performance expert, not just managing campaigns but creating strategies around Search, Social & Programmatic to deliver real value.
• Creating high quality analysis that breaks the data down to become easily digestible for key stakeholders.
• Do you want to develop your channel expertise to include new channels such as Weibo, Wechat & Tencent adding another string to your media bow? Kickstarting international campaigns & working in new media markets is a key part of the role - training will be provided in these areas.

The day-to-day:

• Plan, write and launch paid media campaigns that perform & provide the results.
• Providing a consistent output of campaign builds, analysis and thinking outside the box to drive high levels of innovation.
• Disciplined daily management of all paid media campaigns.
• Maintaining our strong relationships with Google & Facebook.
• Produce detailed and accurate client reports and competitor analysis.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of clients’ accounts to identify trends or issues to raise them with the wider team.
• Be responsible for time keeping and ensuring in-house budgeting and time management software is updated daily.
• Optimise and improve client’s advertising campaigns using the agency’s market-leading technologies.
• Support the Digital Director with research, insight and support around data that lead to effective cross-channel media strategies and tactics.

What we need from you:

• Good technical knowledge of Paid Search & Social, at a minimum Google Ads & Facebook Ads.
• Passionate about media & marketing (like us!).
• Strong work ethic.
• Highly analytical and data driven.
• Team player, who works well internally and across multiple teams.
• Ability to analyse data and identify trends in customer behaviour.

The benefits:

• Monthly contribution to your physical health costs.
• Online training, tools, and resources, including 1:1 coaching sessions to help manage your wellbeing.
• 24/7/365 employee wellness assistance line.
• Paid training for career accreditations.
• Internal mobility options and established career paths.
• Incentive schemes and company pension contributions.
• Friday drinks, office away days and parties.
• Free fruit and a weekly breakfast/lunch.
• Charity fundraising challenges and volunteering days.

Please note: we encourage you to apply for a role at Hybrid even if you don’t meet 100% of the bullet points! We believe in creating an environment where there is a diversity of talent.
