Job Description:

Ready to take charge of multi-million-pound ad budgets and drive explosive growth?

Our exclusive client, a fast-scaling B Corp marketplace business, needs a PPC expert who can hit the ground running. This isn't just another contract role - it's your chance to own 80-90% of a company's commercial success through paid search.

You'll manage multi-million £ annual ad spend that's scaling rapidly. Imagine having complete strategic ownership over Google and Microsoft Ads accounts that directly fuel business growth across international markets, including the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe. No agency middlemen, no committee decisions - just you, your expertise, and the budget to make things happen.

This role exists because our client recognises that exceptional PPC talent deserves exceptional opportunities and flexibility. They've built a mission-driven business that's changing an entire industry for the better, and they need someone who can accelerate that mission through brilliant paid search execution.

Here's what you'll love about this role:

• Massive impact: Your work directly drives 80-90% of the company's revenue
• Contract flexibility: Choose between a 6-month day rate or a 12-month FTC structure
• International scope: Manage campaigns across multiple currencies and time zones
• Growth trajectory: Be part of scaling ad spend
• Autonomy: Complete ownership of strategy and day-to-day execution
• Team support: 2 junior team members to help with heavy lifting
• Mission alignment: Work for a certified B Corp, making a genuine positive impact
• Flexibility: Remote-first with occasional London collaboration days

Two ways to make your mark:

Option 1: 6-Month Day Rate Contract (£325-380/day). Perfect if you want immediate impact and the flexibility that comes with contract work. Hit the ground running and deliver transformational results in a focused timeframe.

Option 2: 12-Month Fixed Term Contract (£65k-£75k). Ideal if you prefer salary security and want deeper strategic involvement in scaling the business. Build something substantial while developing your international PPC expertise across multiple markets.

What they're looking for:

You're a hands-on PPC expert with 6+ years of managing multi-million-pound budgets across international markets. You've worked with lead generation businesses and understand the nuances of managing campaigns across different time zones and currencies. Most importantly, you can start immediately and deliver results from day one.

The perfect candidate will have:

• Multi-million pound Google and Microsoft Ads management experience
• International campaign experience (especially in US markets)
• Lead generation or a marketplace business background
• Strong analytical and communication skills

Why this opportunity stands out:

This isn't just about managing ad accounts - it's about stewarding the primary revenue engine for a business scaling towards £500M. You'll work for a mission-driven company that's revolutionising an entire industry while supporting local economies globally. Every campaign you optimise contributes to something bigger than just profit margins.

Our client offers complete autonomy, substantial budgets, international market exposure, and the chance to work with a team that values both performance and purpose. Whether you choose the day rate flexibility or FTC security, you'll have the same level of strategic ownership and impact.
