About Us

Dentology is one of the UK’s fastest-growing performance marketing agencies, partnering exclusively with high-end cosmetic dental practices. We’re a 30+ person team spanning across content, ads, sales, and tech - and one of the only agencies building an end-to-end patient acquisition system that blends agency services with proprietary software.

Our platform combines real-time lead tracking, performance analytics, and AI-driven insights to give practices unprecedented visibility into what’s driving results. From high-production content shoots and paid campaigns to in-house sales teams who close the leads, we deliver predictable, profitable growth for some of the biggest names in UK dentistry.

The Role

We’re hiring a Media Buyer to join our growing ads team and manage Meta campaigns for leading cosmetic dental practices. You’ll work hands-on inside Ads Manager, run structured creative tests, and collaborate closely with our content, creative strategy, and booking teams to drive high-quality patient enquiries.

There will be opportunities to support early Google and TikTok expansion in 2026, however, the role is primarily focused on Meta ads.

Responsibilities

• Manage and optimise Meta campaigns across a portfolio of UK dental clients
• Analyse campaign performance to generate insights and identify testing opportunities
• Work closely with Creative Strategy and Content teams to develop and test new creative concepts
• Run structured creative, audience, and funnel tests to continuously improve performance
• Collaborate with our Account Manager and the Sales team to align lead quality and patient funnel performance
• Contribute to improving Dentology’s internal systems, playbooks, and testing frameworks
• Support early experiments in Google Ads or TikTok as part of future channel expansion (optional)

Requirements

• 2–5 years of hands-on Meta Ads experience, ideally within a fast-paced agency
• Strong understanding of performance marketing fundamentals, testing, and optimisation
• Comfortable analysing data and turning insights into actionable decisions
• Collaborative and creative-minded, with experience working closely with content or creative teams
• Highly organised and able to manage multiple accounts simultaneously
• Google Ads experience (Search or Performance Max) is a plus but not required
