Job description

Want to build a career in paid social where great content, organisation and process make the difference?

If you have 2–5 years' experience in paid social, digital marketing or a similar role and are highly organised, commercially minded and understand what makes content perform, this could be a great next step.

Working for one of Leeds leading D2C ecommerce brands, you'll play a key role in managing the process behind a high volume of paid social creative across Instagram and Facebook.

This is less about being the person creating the content yourself and more about making sure the right content gets produced, to the right brief, on time and to the right standard.

You'll work with agencies, designers and the wider marketing team to coordinate assets, manage briefs and ensure content is on-brand, compliant and built with performance in mind.

The Role

As the Paid Social Executive, you'll take ownership of the process behind the production of paid social creative, ensuring numerous adverts are briefed, produced, reviewed and ready to go each week.

You'll coordinate the assets required for paid campaigns, brief agencies on UGC requirements and brief designers on the creative assets needed. You'll need a good eye for what makes an effective advert and be confident challenging and improving creative where required.

You'll also help build and maintain a strong library of content that can be used across both paid and organic channels, ensuring the business has a constant pipeline of high-quality creative available.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate the production of multiple paid social adverts each week
• Compile and organise the assets required for paid campaigns
• Brief agencies on UGC content and creative requirements
• Brief designers on assets required for campaigns
• Manage the process from initial brief through to completed creative
• Ensure all content is on-brand, on-brief and compliant
• Review creative and identify where improvements could be made
• Understand what makes good content and effective paid social advertising
• Manage relationships and day-to-day communication with agencies and creative partners
• Build and maintain a library of content for paid and organic use
• Work closely with marketing and creative teams to keep campaigns moving
• Ensure deadlines are met and assets are delivered when required
• Keep processes organised and continually look for ways to improve them

We're Looking For Someone Who...

• Has 2–5 years' experience in paid social, digital marketing or a similar role
• Understands how paid social advertising works across Instagram and Facebook
• Has a strong understanding of what makes effective advertising content
• Is highly organised and comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines
• Is confident briefing agencies, designers and creative partners
• Has a good eye for detail and can ensure content is on-brand and compliant
• Is commercially minded and understands the link between creative and performance
• Is proactive, reliable and comfortable taking ownership of processes
• Communicates well and enjoys working with different teams and external partners
• Is ambitious and keen to progress their career within a fast-growing ecommerce business

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity to join an ambitious ecommerce business where paid social is a key driver of customer acquisition and growth.

You'll play a central role in building the creative engine behind paid social, working across agencies, designers and marketing to produce a high volume of content and continually improve the process.

If you're organised, commercially minded and understand that great paid social starts with great creative and great execution, we'd love to hear from you.
