Job Description
Hi We’re looking for a Paid Media Manager to join us at Happy Yolk on a freelance or part-time basis (2–3 days a week).
Someone who truly gets how paid, content and creators all work together - and knows how to turn that into real growth.
Please email your application to careers@happyyolk.com.
A bit about us
We’re a social-first creative agency. We build brands through content, creators and culture - with a proven track record of delivering work that actually drives results, not just reach.
Happy Yolk was built off the back of creating the most liked image on Instagram (the egg ), and since then we’ve grown into an agency working with a mix of ambitious, design-led and culturally relevant brands across interiors, beauty, FMCG and lifestyle.
Our clients include brands like Samsung, Pooky, Redbrick, Philips Home, Dermalux, and emerging challenger brands - businesses that want to grow properly.
What makes us different is how we work:
We’ve built a proprietary social media model - refined over years of testing, learning and scaling brands - that brings core social media elements together into one system.
Everything is designed to move people through the full journey - from first discovering a brand, to becoming genuinely interested, to wanting it, and ultimately buying into it.
We also have a strong in-house team across strategy, content and creators, which means we’re constantly learning, iterating and improving. You won’t be handed random assets and told to “run ads” - you’ll be part of shaping what works.
We’re a close, tight-knit group of very committed people who genuinely care about the work and each other.
We work hard, hold a high bar, but we also like to have fun, be kind, and create an environment where people actually enjoy working together!
What you’ll actually be doing
You’ll be leading paid across a handful of clients.
That means:
* Running and optimising Meta campaigns (this is essential)
* Building out and scaling TikTok Shop as a proper revenue channel (also essential)
* Working closely with us on content so we’re learning and adapting fast
* Feeding back what’s working (and what’s not) into the creative
* Spotting opportunities to scale - whether that’s a piece of content, a creator or a product
What we’re looking for
* You’re strong on Meta - confident, hands-on, and know how to drive results
* You have real experience with TikTok Shop / social commerce
* You care about performance, not vanity metrics
* You understand that creative is the lever - and know how to work with it
* You’re proactive, thoughtful, and easy to work with
* You can look at a campaign and say “this is why it’s not working” (and fix it with us)
Agency experience is preferred.
How to apply
Please email careers@happyyolk.com with:
* A bit about you and your experience
* Case studies showing what you’ve done and the impact you’ve driven
* A portfolio or examples of campaigns
* Anything that shows how you think (not just how you execute)
The details
* Freelance
* 2–3 days per week - moving into permanent position if the fit is right
* Flexible working
* UK-based essential, London-based is a bonus, but not essential
