Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Are you ready to sharpen your paid-media skills in a supportive agency that actually lets you see the impact of your work? Got a year or two of hands-on experience and ready to level up with seasoned specialists while mastering Google, LinkedIn and Meta ads? If so, read on…

Why The Munro Agency?

We power ambitious B2B brands with growth-driven marketing. Creative thinking, data-led action and a genuinely empathetic culture fuel our work with SaaS disruptors, high-growth start-ups and established professional services firms. You’ll join a tight team where good ideas (and even bad jokes) get airtime.

As our Paid Media Executive, you’ll support the Paid Media Manager in planning, launching and optimising paid campaigns that drive high-quality leads. Expect to learn rapidly, test boldly and see clear results. We’ll build a personal development plan with you—whether you aim to become a paid-media specialist or branch into the wider B2B marketing mix. Where do you want to take your career?

Where you’ll work

Hybrid flexibility: work remotely most days, pop into city-centre co-working spaces for collaboration, and attend client meetings around Glasgow. During probation you’ll spend the bulk of your week in the office—because nothing beats shoulder-to-shoulder learning over that free coffee.

What you’ll be doing

• Build, launch and optimise Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads and Meta campaigns under Louise’s guidance.
• Conduct keyword and audience research, write punchy ad copy and test creative variations.
• Monitor budgets and performance daily, flagging wins and potential tweaks before they become issues.
• Pull clear, insightful reports that translate CPCs, CTRs and ROAS into business value.
• Collaborate with Account Managers to align campaigns with wider client objectives and landing-page experience.
• Stay curious—spot emerging paid-media trends and bring fresh test ideas to the table.

What you’ll bring

• Around 1–2 years’ hands-on experience in PPC or paid-social advertising (agency or client-side).
• Familiarity with Google Ads Editor, Google Tag Manager and basic GA4 reporting.
• Any exposure to LinkedIn Campaign Manager or Meta Ads Manager is a plus.
• An analytical mindset—comfortable in spreadsheets, eager to turn numbers into next steps.
• Clear, confident communication; you’re happy explaining performance to non-marketers.
• Google Ads Search certification (or ready to earn it in your first month).

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Love B2B and the challenge of turning niche propositions into scroll-stopping ads.
• Enjoy fast-growth environments where ideas move from sketch to live test quickly.
• Get a buzz from learning new platforms and automation tools.
• Company pension and 30 days’ holiday, plus your birthday off
• Flexible hours after probation
• Annual learning & development budget
• Google Ads and Analytics certifications on us

The “terrible” bits

• Early-Finish Fridays—sorry, you’ll have to start your weekend early
• Dad jokes from the director—brace yourself
• Cheesecake Tuesdays—yes, forced cake consumption
• Monthly team lunch—food you don’t have to pay for, shocking
• Your face may become an emoji in Slack
• Legendary Christmas parties—memory loss disclaimer
• Occasional Tiree trips—island air, windsurfing optional
