Your Opportunity

We're searching for an industry-obsessed and highly experienced Paid Social Lead to lead and develop our paid social team — setting the agency's standard for how campaigns are built, run, and optimised, and driving continuous upskilling across the channel. On a day-to-day basis, you will:

- Define and own best-practice frameworks for how paid social campaigns are structured, tested, and scaled across the agency.
- Develop client-specific strategies across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and other key platforms through a strong e-commerce performance lens.
- Build, optimise, and oversee paid social campaigns end-to-end, monitoring budgets and performance for maximum ROI.
- Lead structured creative testing across formats, copy, and audiences, turning results into clear creative direction for the team and clients.
- Analyse campaign performance across paid social platforms, Shopify, and Google Analytics, reporting on KPIs, trends, and optimisation opportunities.




- Champion incrementality and measurement best practice — including contribution testing and attribution analysis — moving reporting beyond ROAS.
- Lead, mentor, and upskill the paid social team, running regular training sessions across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and emerging platforms.
- Review team output and provide constructive feedback to continuously raise the quality of work produced.
- Collaborate with the Performance Account Director, creative, and strategy teams to align paid social with broader digital strategy.
- Stay ahead of platform changes and feed relevant updates back to the team in a practical, actionable way.

- Be highly organised, collaborative,



and genuinely passionate about staying ahead of platform trends.
- Align with our core company values.
