• Implementing modular frameworks (e.g. Hook × Body × CTA for video)
• Defining account structures for modern algorithmic bidding environments
• Leading testing across creative, bidding, and landing experiences
• Scaling efficiently while navigating platform constraints and restrictions
• Owning how data feeds performance (CAPI, event design, value-based optimisation)
• Using tools like Motion and BI platforms to identify winning patterns

• 7+ years in Paid Social with experience scaling high-spend accounts

• Comfortable with data, attribution, and incrementality

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience with Smartly.io or similar tools
• Background in regulated or high-LTV categories
• Exposure to broader growth channels (PPC, SEO, Display, CRO)

Our benefits include…

• Share options.
• 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays (increasing to 30 the longer you stay with Numan).
