Our “Office in a Box” home working kit will provide you with everything you need, no matter where you are.

Who We Are

• Work with direction from the Paid Social Lead to implement Paid Social strategy.
• Responsible for executing testing plan and providing high quality analysis

Who you are

• Hands-on and operational experience of social platforms, specifically Facebook and X, is key, and it would help to have Snapchat and TikTok experience also.
• We are looking for someone with Paid Social knowledge including targeting strategies, lift study measurement, best practice. Brand and performance experience is also required, demonstrating knowledge in harnessing data and technology to deliver accountable media outcomes.
• Advantageous to have knowledge of Adobe Analytics, tracking tag management / implementation.
• Good data management and analytical skills, preferably from performing large scale analysis on media spend and performance, with strong attention to detail.
