As a Paid Social Manager, you’ll lead client relationships and campaign performance across major platforms like Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Reddit. You’ll combine data insight, technical activation, and strategic thinking to drive real business outcomes for our clients. You’ll be hands-on in campaign delivery and lead a team to deliver excellence, while contributing to wider media collaboration and agency culture.

Responsibilities:

  • Data & Insight: Select and track the right KPIs aligned to broader business and marketing objectives. Challenge briefs to ensure measurement frameworks are meaningful and client centric. Deliver actionable insights from performance data, not just reporting numbers. Spot data limitations and propose smart, creative solutions to bridge gaps.

Experiment with new platform features, tools, and tech to test impact and drive innovation. Encourage the adoption of new tools to future-proof our approach to paid social.

  • Operations & Delivery: Oversee smooth day-to-day campaign delivery and optimisations with the team. Ensure accuracy and quality across briefs, budgets, performance tracking and reconciliation. Lead financial QA for your accounts and support junior team members. Effectively manage up, across, and down, flagging risks early and keeping delivery on track. Build trust with stakeholders by managing expectations and delivering on promises.
  • People & Culture: Lead by example, create a positive and inclusive environment where people are supported. Delegate effectively to empower junior team members and maintain high delivery standards. Support growth by giving feedback, recommending training, and sharing best-in-class work. Embrace change and encourage others to see the opportunity in new ways of working.

Qualifications:

Experience in paid social strategy, activation, and team management. Confident working directly with clients, presenting insights, and influencing media decisions. Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and financial acumen. A growth mindset - curious, proactive, and not afraid to challenge the status quo. Collaborative and empathetic - able to support others while still pushing for excellence.
