You'll take ownership of paid media campaigns, optimising spend and driving measurable growth across multiple acquisition channels.

We are looking for someone with a strong background in media buying, lead generation and performance marketing, ideally from an FMCG or ecommerce D2C environment, who combines analytical thinking with a genuinely hands-on approach. You'll work closely with the wider marketing team, remaining close to the numbers, constantly analysing data, testing new approaches and identifying opportunities to improve performance and scale campaigns.
