Paid Social Manager

Summary

As a Paid Social Manager , you’ll take senior ownership of paid social across large, performance-driven accounts, including complex, high-volume clients spanning retail, finance and upper-funnel activity. Sitting within a newly merged activation function, the role offers genuine autonomy, early exposure to paid search, and the opportunity to help shape how paid social operates within a more integrated performance model.

You’ll be trusted to stabilise and grow inherited accounts quickly, act as a senior voice within your patch, and support junior team members and offshore delivery where needed - all while delivering against ambitious commercial and performance outcomes at the UK’s largest independent media agency.

The role

As a Paid Social Manager , you’ll own the day-to-day delivery of best-in-class paid social campaigns, bringing strong full-funnel performance experience to every stage - from brief through activation to optimisation and analysis.

Working closely with a Paid Social Account Director, PPC leadership and the wider activation team, you’ll independently develop smart, data-driven strategies that deliver against client objectives while pushing paid social maturity forward. You’ll build confident client relationships, present clear POVs, and operate comfortably beyond channel silos - particularly as paid social and paid search continue to integrate.

This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership, variety and responsibility, and who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery and account leadership.
