Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an ambitious and passionate Paid Search Manager to join our Paid team. You'll play a pivotal role in strategising, executing, and optimising paid search campaigns across multiple platforms to meet our clients' marketing objectives. Working closely with the entire Paid team, you'll manage significant client budgets and be accountable for maximising performance.

WHO ARE YOU

• Proven track record managing Google Ads accounts at scale, with measurable results across multiple clients or verticals
• Strong command of AI-driven Smart Bidding strategies: Target ROAS, Target CPA, Maximise Conversions - and when to use each
• Experience building and activating first-party data: Customer Match, GA4 audience integration, CRM uploads, and consent-compliant data flows
• Solid understanding of privacy-first measurement: Consent Mode v2, server-side tagging, and how to protect data quality as third-party signals erode
• Fluent in Google Shopping and Merchant Centre - feed optimisation, performance segmentation, and Shopping-specific strategy
• Comfortable with cross-channel attribution: you know where last-click lies, and you have a view on how to measure incrementality properly
• Aware of how AI Overviews and the evolving SERP are reshaping search behaviour and what that means for keyword strategy and bid management
• Strong analytical instincts - you can turn performance data into a clear strategic recommendation, not just a reporting slide
• Excellent client communication: able to translate technical complexity into plain language that earns trust
• Collaborative by nature - you understand that paid search and paid social are stronger when they work together
