If you thrive on smashing targets, constantly testing and innovating, and delivering exceptional client results, this could be your next big career move.

• Run continuous testing — targeting, creative, copy, and landing pages — to push performance higher.

• Manage budgets to consistently meet or exceed ROAS and CPA targets.

• Lead client calls and maintain responsive, proactive communication (including WhatsApp).

• Stay ahead of platform updates, cultural trends, and audience shifts.

• 2+ years of paid media campaign management experience (hospitality/leisure/events a plus).

• Strong analytical skills combined with creative instincts — passionate about understanding both the “why” and the “what.”

• Exceptional English communication skills (written and spoken), with the ability to adapt tone to fit different brands.

• Cultural awareness and the ability to pivot between diverse audiences.

• Highly organised, able to manage multiple accounts simultaneously.

• Proactive self-starter who takes full ownership of results.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary (based on experience).

• Fully remote role with flexible working hours (must be available for client calls).
