Description

About the team:

We're a passionate team on a mission to make Vintage Cash Cow the go-to destination for giving pre-loved items a new lease of life. As we scale across the UK and internationally, Paid Social particularly Meta is a core growth engine, driving discovery, demand creation, and efficient customer acquisition at scale.

Our Growth team sits at the centre of this, combining performance marketing, creative, data, and experimentation to unlock scalable growth. Paid Social plays a critical role in this ecosystem, blending creative thinking with analytical rigour to drive both volume and quality.

About the role:

As a Paid Social Executive (Meta-focused), you'll support the execution, optimisation, and scaling of our Meta activity across multiple markets. Reporting into the Paid Social team, you'll play a key role in bringing campaigns to life, working across creative, targeting, tracking, and performance analysis.

This is a highly hands-on role, ideal for someone with a strong analytical mindset and a passion for creative testing and performance marketing. You'll help ensure campaigns are executed with excellence, creatives are continuously improved, and insights are fed back into the wider growth strategy.

While Meta is the primary focus, this role will also support the exploration and expansion into other Paid Social platforms such as TikTok, Pinterest, and emerging channels - helping test, learn, and scale new acquisition opportunities over time.

You will work closely with Paid Social, Creative, CRM, and Data teams to ensure campaigns are high quality, well tracked, and continuously improving.

• Research & ideation: Generate new creative ideas, hooks, formats, and angles based on trends and performance.
• Publish ads: Ensure campaigns go live accurately and on time with correct settings and tracking.

• Tracking validation: Check Meta events, pixels, and conversions are firing correctly.
• Workflow support: Help manage workflows for creative production, translations, and approvals.
• Support reporting: Assist in building performance reports and extracting key insights.

Driving Excellence

• Creative testing mindset: Continuously test new hooks, formats, messaging, and audiences (micro-testing approach).
• Performance optimisation: Support optimisation across targeting, creatives, placements, and budgets.
• Creative feedback loops: Provide structured feedback on ad performance to improve future creative output.
• Trend spotting: Identify emerging trends on Meta (formats, messaging, competitors, audience behaviour).
• AI tool leverage: Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, copywriting, analysis, and creative iteration.
• Market expansion support: Assist in launching and scaling campaigns in new international markets.
• Data-driven thinking: Apply an analytical mindset to interpret performance and guide decisions.
• Collaboration: Work closely with Creative and Growth teams to align on priorities and outputs.

Channel expansion mindset: Support testing and early-stage scaling of additional Paid Social platforms (e.g. TikTok, Pinterest), identifying new growth opportunities beyond Meta
