THE COMPANY
An online retailer in West Yorkshire is looking to make the first steps to bring their paid advertising in-house. They’ve reached a stage where deeper expertise and closer ownership of their Google and Meta campaigns will make a real difference to performance. Their long-term goal is to build an in-house team to reduce their reliance on external support. This is a hands-on role with clear progression: start as a manager and take ownership, oversee their agency partners, improve efficiency, and build structure. As you grow the area, you’ll step into a ‘Head of’ role and manage the in-house team.
THE ROLE
Your first priorities will be to:
* Take ownership of paid advertising across Google Ads and Meta
* Audit current freelancers and agency partners and highlight where changes are needed
* Identify wasted spend and quick-win opportunities
* Improve targeting, structure, bidding and audience segments
* Deep dive into existing campaigns to understand what’s working and what isn’t
* Make recommendations that improve ROAS and profitability
Over time, you will:
* Restructure and scale campaigns to support wider growth goals
* Help shape the paid media strategy, including exploring new platforms
* Work closely with external and internal teams to align activity
* Produce clear reporting and insight that guides decision-making
* Support the gradual move towards a more in-house setup
* Help bring in junior support as the team begins to grow
Long term, you will:
* Play a central role in shaping an in-house paid media team
* Develop towards a Head of Paid Media position as the function expands
ABOUT YOU
You’ll have hands-on experience running Google Ads and Meta Ads, with at least two years working in paid advertising. You should feel confident making changes directly in the accounts, improving performance, and spotting where money is being wasted. You might come from an agency or in-house background – either works. This role would suit a Senior PPC Executive ready to step up, a Paid Ad or PPC Manager who wants more control and a clear path to Head Of, or a Performance Marketer who still likes being hands on. You’ll be comfortable working with agencies and freelancers, someone proactive who sees issues early, fixes them quickly, and isn’t afraid to push back when something doesn’t look right.
THE REWARD
The business is investing heavily in online growth, so there’s plenty of room to take ownership and shape how paid advertising is run. You’ll also get to work with serious ad spend and have the freedom to rebuild the setup in a way that genuinely drives the business forward. You’ll step into a role that will grow with you and have support from an experienced senior leader who’s keen to bring more expertise in house. You’ll join as a hands-on Manager with a clear path to grow into 'Head of' as you build the in-house team.
