Our client is a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer marketplace redefining their market! They're on a mission and with members in over 135 countries and a product people genuinely love, they're scaling something truly special — but they're only just getting started.
Their goal? To grow to 1 million members and become the world's most-loved solution in their field.
This is a PE-backed, high-growth environment where your work directly shapes how fast — and how well — the business scales.
The Role
You'll be a hands-on Paid Media Executive helping scale user acquisition as part of a small, growing team. Day-to-day, you'll work alongside Paid Media Leads delivering at pace: setting up new campaigns, analysing performance, and implementing iterative optimisations that drive real impact.
This isn't a junior execution role — nor is it strategy-only. You'll have real ownership, visibility to business outcomes, and the chance to influence company direction through data, insight, and smart decision-making.
What You'll Do
Campaign Build & Optimisation
Set up, QA, and optimise campaigns across Meta Ads, Google Ads, and beyond
Maintain strict naming conventions, UTMs, and tracking hygiene — because data quality powers good decisions
Monitor daily pacing, surface risks and opportunities, propose reallocations by channel, campaign, or geo
Data Analysis & Insight
Conduct in-depth analysis combining multiple data sources (not just in-platform dashboards) to help the team make better strategic and tactical decisions
Produce written performance snapshots with clear insight, analysis, and next steps
Work closely with in-house Data teams to measure real business impact
Understand that you're optimising for successful sits and long-term value — not vanity metrics
Experimentation & Learning
Run A/B tests on copy, creative, audience, and bid strategies
Maintain a test log with hypotheses, outcomes, and actions
Value shipping fast over polishing endlessly — you optimise for learning and iteration
Market & Platform Awareness
Stay current on platform changes, policies, and tactics
Suggest small pilots when a change is material to your strategy
Measurement & Tracking
Ensure pixels, events, and conversions are firing correctly
Keep UTMs consistent and dashboards aligned to a single source of truth
Research, Ideation & Creative Strategy
Turn customer insight, search query data, and broader industry/competitor research into keyword themes, audience hypotheses, and creative testing opportunities
Develop hypothesis-led creative briefs and manage a prioritised ideas backlog
Collaborate hand-in-hand with creative teams to ideate, test, and iterate on concepts that drive performance
What We're Looking For
Paid Media Proficiency
You know how to use various paid media platforms (Meta, Google, etc.)
You can set up campaigns, troubleshoot technical issues, and have experience managing scale-up sized media budgets
You're confident with UTMs, pixels, events, and conversion tracking
Confident with Data
You have experience working with data and in-house Data teams
You understand relevant analytical concepts and how we can (and can't) measure marketing impact
You're enthusiastic about self-serving your own analytics and ideally have experience with BI tools like Looker or Tableau
You go beyond in-platform/GA data to find real insight
Creative Collaboration
You've written creative briefs before
You've collaborated hand-in-hand with creative teams to ideate, test, and iterate on creative concepts
Communication Skills
Excellent verbal and written communicator
You can translate complex concepts to non-experts
You understand the level of detail/context required for different audiences
You're able to contribute to C-suite level written analysis
Your Mindset (Non-Negotiable)
You're comfortable in a high-growth, fast-moving environment that's constantly evolving
You want to understand how and why things work (or why they don't)
You value shipping fast over polishing endlessly, because you optimise for learning
You're curious about how the business makes money and how you contribute to growing it
You actively develop your skillset, stay up-to-date with trends, and operate at the forefront of your field
Bonus if you have...
Experience in fast-paced start-ups, scale-ups, marketing agencies, marketplaces, or travel
Proficiency with data exploration tools (Looker, basic SQL)
Exposure to behavioural science techniques

This is a fast-paced, high-growth environment where high accountability is expected. You'll be asked to think critically, challenge assumptions, and balance performance with quality. This isn't a role where you wait for perfect briefs — you'll be expected to take initiative, ask smart questions, and drive improvements. If you thrive in pace, ambiguity, and ownership, this could be the right fit.
