We’re looking for a Marketing Success Manager to join our team, based in York, supporting businesses across Yorkshire and Darlington. This role is ideal for a digitally savvy marketeer who enjoys being close to campaign performance, client conversations, and making a real impact on results.

You’ll help shape campaign strategy, optimise performance, and clearly demonstrate value to clients — whether that’s face to face or via Teams.

* Plan, manage and optimise campaigns across display and paid social, including full‑funnel activity such as prospecting, retargeting and conversion.

* Run campaign analysis and build clear, commercially‑focused reports that show impact and return on investment.
* Present results in a confident, non‑technical way, offering insight, recommendations and opportunities for deeper investment.
* Build and manage audiences, including custom and lookalike audiences, to improve targeting and reach.
* Work hands‑on with analytics tools and tracking, collaborating with internal teams where needed to resolve issues.
* Identify at‑risk accounts early and recommend actions to improve performance and retention.
* Share campaign wins, insights and best practice across the wider team and contribute to knowledge‑sharing sessions.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
* Experience working as a digital marketeer, ideally within an agency or similar fast‑paced environment.
* Strong understanding of digital marketing and performance campaigns, particularly display and paid social.
* Confident using analytics and advertising platforms, with the ability to interpret data and spot trends.
* Highly analytical, with the ability to turn insight into clear, practical recommendations.
* Comfortable being customer‑facing, leading face‑to‑face and virtual meetings with confidence.
* Imaginative and creative when it comes to campaign ideas, messaging and creative approaches.
* Strong communication skills, able to explain results simply to non‑technical audiences.
* Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple campaigns at once.
* Based in or near York, with flexibility to travel across Yorkshire and Darlington.
