The role

London (Hybrid) | 3 days in the office | Competitive Salary + Benefits

We’re looking for a dual-minded Paid Social marketer who bridges the gap between creative content execution and performance analysis. You intuitively understand what makes a social video hook scroll-stopping, but you're just as comfortable digging into CPA, conversion data, and A/B test results to optimise performance. You’ll make a real difference from day one, running with ideas to drive real-time growth.

• Oversee and optimise Paid Social campaigns on Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) and Organic Social content on LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube.

• Own the end-to-end creative process: building content calendars and briefs for different financial products, working with design and copy teams and external agencies to produce compelling video & static ad creative.

• Scope and run structured A/B tests to find most effective messaging and creative formats, and apply learnings across campaigns.

• Track, analyse and report on marketing performance, managing spend to ensure cost-effective, scalable results.

• Support cross-channel reporting and coordination with other digital channels like Paid Search, Display, and YouTube.

What we’re looking for

We value deep expertise, but a growth mindset and good energy are what really make our team click. We’re a group that chooses to lift each other up and think smart every day.

• Around 2–4 years' experience in performance marketing, with at least 1–2 years' hands-on experience with Meta Ads (TikTok, LinkedIn, and Reddit are a plus)

• Creative mindset: You’re experienced in developing video content, and understand the hooks, pacing, visual trends, and story structures that resonate on different social platforms.

• Analytical capability: Comfortable digging into performance "whys" using reporting tools (Tableau, Excel/Sheets) to track KPIs, optimize spend, and prove ROI.

• Strong project management: Able to run multiple concurrent briefs across product lines while navigating internal compliance processes, design teams, and external production talent.

• AI-driven approach: Experience using and experimenting with AI tools (for content ideation, workflow automation, or data analysis) to work smarter and innovate processes.

• Curious and eager to develop new skills, evaluate new marketing channels, and test new strategies.

Skills we’d love to see:

• Experience of FinTech/B2B marketing is a plus, but not required.

• Working knowledge of additional marketing platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, YouTube).

• An understanding of additional or emerging marketing channels

• Experience managing or coordinating with external creative/production talent (e.g. content creators, agencies).

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.

Why join us?

We back you to build an incredible career and by joining us, you'll be part of one of The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2026! As a flexible-first employer, we use a "best of both" approach. We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!

Our Circler Proposition focuses on five areas:

• Flexibility: We provide a benefit allowance you can tailor to your own life and family.

• Health: This includes private medical and dental, health assessments, and access to a digital GP.

• Wealth: We offer life assurance, share schemes, and financial coaching.

• Development: You get a dedicated annual learning allowance to help you level up.

• Lifestyle: We have electric car and cycle-to-work schemes, plus season ticket loans.
