ROLE SNAPSHOT

We’re on the lookout for a PPC Account Director to lead with impact and innovation. You’ll

be at the helm of some of our most exciting client relationships, steering strategies, elevating performance, and unlocking growth across the board.

This is your opportunity to make a real impact—shaping how we deliver best-in-class PPC for ambitious clients. You’ll influence how strategies come to life, manage a growing team of specialists, and collaborate closely with senior leaders to elevate performance and push boundaries.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Lead & Influence – Guide the strategic direction of all PPC accounts under your remit, ensuring alignment with client goals while empowering your team to deliver excellence.

• Drive Campaign Success – Oversee the performance and delivery of campaigns, ensuring we're exceeding targets, proactively identifying growth opportunities, and solving challenges early.

• Define & Monitor KPIs – Collaborate with clients to set clear campaign objectives and consistently track performance to ensure we're delivering meaningful results.

• Innovate & Optimise – Leverage forecasting, insights, and platform updates to fine-tune strategies, keeping our PPC work sharp, efficient, and industry-leading.

• Strengthen Client Relationships – Be a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders—building partnerships that foster collaboration, transparency, and long-term growth.

• Fuel Growth – Spot upsell opportunities, contribute to pitches and proposals, and bring fresh ideas that drive revenue and unlock new potential for our clients and the agency.

• Empower Your Team – Lead, mentor, and support a team of PPC specialists—creating space for development, recognising strengths, and setting them up for success.

• Refine & Improve – Review account structures and strategic plans regularly, providing insight-led recommendations that push performance and deliver value.

• Collaborate Across Channels – Partner closely with SEO, Paid Social, Growth, and Data teams to deliver integrated performance strategies that deliver impact at scale.

WHAT MAKES THE PPC TEAM AT FOUND SPECIAL?

The Found team is a powerhouse of incredibly talented, data-driven individuals who thrive on innovation and precision. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do—we work as a tight-knit team, always ready to lend a hand when needed and champion each other’s successes. We’re passionate about sharing knowledge, believing it’s the key to continuous growth and self-improvement. Open to exploring new opportunities and testing fresh ideas, we remain relentlessly focused on delivering exceptional results for our clients.

HOW WE OPERATE

We’re incredibly proud of the culture we’ve built - we’ve even won awards for it! Every day we focus on making progress, knowing that achieving big milestones comes from taking many small, deliberate steps. We’re always ready to support one another, share insights, and work together to overcome challenges. We embrace creativity, innovation and experiment relentlessly to deliver for our clients and get them the best possible results. We encourage ownership at every level, empowering our people to challenge the status quo and bring fresh perspectives. Everyone has a voice and can make an impact, bringing their own unique value to our team.

• We have open comms - there aren’t any silly questions and there’s no limit to how many you can ask - whether that be to the Head of PPC, AD or SAE

WHAT DRIVES SUCCESS IN OUR PPC TEAM

Proactivity - if you work best in an environment where you need to be told exactly what to do and when, this might not be the right place for you. If you’re someone who thrives on taking initiative, coming up with ideas and suggestions, then you’re in the right place.

• Willingness to learn, adapt and constantly evolve - we never settle for the status quo. We’re always looking at how we can learn, whether that’s a new way of doing something, from our success and failures or how we learn from one another.

• Independence - we thrive off of freedom and autonomy, you will take ownership of your role and your career path, with the best managers and leaders to support and nurture along the way.

• You have experience running successful PPC campaigns in an agency environment.
