The role

You will report into the Head of Performance Marketing and work closely with our Paid Social Specialist. You’ll own and scale our paid search programme across Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, and to make sure the numbers behind it stand up to scrutiny.

This is an operational role, not an oversight role. You will be in the accounts daily — building, bidding, testing, writing, cutting the data and reporting on what it all means. You'll be managing significant budgets from day one, in a category where advertising is tightly regulated and accuracy matters as much as performance.

The role suits someone who has run large paid search accounts either agency-side or in-house, and who is comfortable in GA4.

Main Responsibilities

Paid search

• Own day-to-day management of Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising accounts — structure, keywords, bids, budgets, negatives, audiences and ad copy.
• Manage and pace significant monthly media spend against CPA and volume targets, with clear forecasting and in-month course correction.
• Build and optimise across campaign types, including Search and Performance Max
• Run a continuous testing roadmap: ad copy, landing pages, bidding strategies, match types, audience layers and creative.
• Manage search query mining, competitor monitoring and market/keyword expansion.
• Work within advertising policy and regulatory restrictions specific to our sector — ensuring every ad, extension and landing page is compliant before it goes live, and managing appeals or disapprovals when they happen.
• Work closely with Google and Microsoft account teams, and get the most out of betas, support and alpha access.

Analytics and measurement

• Use GA4 to analyse performance end to end — acquisition through to conversion and revenue — and turn that into decisions, not just dashboards.
• Build and maintain conversion tracking, events, audiences and custom reports in GA4, working with Google Tag Manager.
• Own paid search reporting: weekly performance, monthly business reviews, and ad hoc deep dives for leadership.
