* Present actionable insights to stakeholders, identifying opportunities for optimisation and growth.
* Build strong relationships with platform partners to gain access to betas and new tools.

YOU?

* 4+ years' experience managing large-budget, lead generation campaigns across multiple paid media channels.
* In-depth knowledge of Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, GA4 and Looker Studio (or similar).
* Proven track record of scaling campaigns, reducing CPL, and delivering high-quality leads.
* Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into strategy.
