We're looking for a Performance Account Manage, to lead paid search and paid social activity for a mix of premium fashion, luxury and lifestyle accounts, with a strong focus on Google and Meta. You'll own campaigns end to end, from planning and activation through to optimisation, analysis and client recommendations.

You'll join a close-knit independent agency of around 20 people, with a flat structure and a genuine emphasis on doing thoughtful, high-quality work. This role sits in one of our client hubs and is especially important because it helps give strong day-to-day support across both search and social while maintaining a high standard of client servicing and campaign delivery.

If you enjoy being hands-on in platforms, confident with clients, and able to connect performance data to bigger business goals, this is a role with real responsibility and visibility. We care most about strong platform expertise, good judgement, attention to detail, and someone who can hold their own in the room while working positively as part of a collaborative team.

• Work with the Account Director and channel leads to propose new opportunities and feed into testing frameworks in line with agency objectives
• Identify, recommend and activate new testing opportunities across biddable media
• Lead regular client meetings with clarity and precision, building strong relationships with key stakeholders
• Act as a regular face and voice for JK&K with clients, giving them confidence in both the detail and the direction of the work
• Partner with data specialists and clients to make sure tracking and reporting are accurate and up to date
• Support strong measurement practices, including attribution and solutions such as Meta CAPI
• Act as a primary point of contact for account QA and auditing
• Collaborate with team members to improve new and existing processes and minimise human error
• Work closely with senior search and social specialists, giving equally strong support across both channels
• Prioritise workload and deadlines effectively, managing expectations clearly

What you'll bring

• At least 3 years' experience managing performance campaigns, either agency side or client side
• Strong hands-on knowledge of biddable media, with essential expertise in Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager
• Experience working across both paid search and paid social, with the confidence to contribute meaningfully in both areas
• Experience using website analytics platforms such as GA4 or Adobe
• A clear understanding of how brand, demand generation and demand capture work together to deliver DTC performance goals such as ROAS and revenue targets
• Strong data literacy, with the ability to scrutinise performance data and explain what is working and what is not
• A strong level in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel
• Demonstrable experience of testing approaches across biddable media
• A good understanding of measurement and attribution models
• Confidence presenting to and influencing stakeholders
• Good judgement, care for detail, and a high standard of QA
• The ability to manage priorities and deadlines in a fast-moving environment
• A willingness to learn, adapt and contribute with positivity and curiosity
• Experience with bid management platforms is a bonus
