Job description

OnSocial is a performance-driven paid media and creative agency. We run campaigns across Meta, Google and TikTok for brands including 528 Ibiza, Pikes Ibiza, Ministry of Sound Group, alongside fast-growing ecommerce and consumer brands.

We’re a small, ambitious team, remote-first and growing fast. People run our accounts, and AI tools handle the legwork (reporting, data pulls and setup checks) so we can spend more time on strategy and execution. You’ll learn how to use them well from day one. We get together in London roughly every six weeks for team days, offsites and client meetings.

The Role

We’re hiring a Paid Media Executive to join the team in January.

This role is for someone who enjoys working with data. If you like digging into numbers, spotting patterns and working out why something happened, you’ll love it here. Our clients range from festivals and venues to ecommerce and household brands, and the job is the same across all of them: reading performance data, understanding what’s driving results, and making budgets work harder. It isn’t a content, creative or influencer role.

This is an entry-level role. You might have a marketing degree, or you might have taught yourself through online courses or by running ads for your own project. Either is fine. What matters is that you’ve already made a start and want to build a career in paid media.

Most starters spend their first year at a big agency pulling reports. Here you’ll be trained directly by our Head of Paid Media and working on live campaigns for well-known brands from your first month.

We don’t mind where or whether you studied. We care about attitude, curiosity and a genuine interest in paid media.

• You enjoy working with numbers and want to understand why results go up or down
• Evidence of self-led learning in paid media (a course, a certification, a degree module, or running your own ads)
• Strong attention to detail
• Based in the UK with the right to work here [we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role], able to get to London for team days, and available during core hours (9:00am to 5:30pm UK time)
• Confident in Excel or Google Sheets
• Hands-on experience running live ad spend, however small
• Familiarity with Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads or TikTok Ads
• A working understanding of core metrics (CPM, CPC, CTR, CPA, ROAS)
• Experience with GA4 or Looker Studio
• An interest in events, hospitality or ecommerce

The Offer

£28,000 to £30,000 per year, depending on experience

25 days annual leave plus UK bank holidays

Workplace pension with company contributions

Remote-first, with in-person days in London roughly every six weeks

MacBook and all the tools you need

Hands-on training and day-to-day mentorship from a Head of Paid Media with 10+ years’ experience across paid social and search

A clear path to Senior Paid Media Executive
