The role

We're looking for a Senior Paid Social Lead to own and evolve [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]'s paid social function. This is not a campaign management role — you will define how paid social drives growth, combining creative strategy, automation, and platform execution across Meta, TikTok, and emerging channels. You'll build a creative-first growth engine, scaling high-quality acquisition in a competitive, regulated category.

You'll be:

  • Own paid social strategy - Define best-in-class approach across Meta, TikTok and beyond - Set direction on asset mix (video vs static), formats (Reels, Stories, Feed), and creative types (UGC vs hi-fi) etc. - Develop clear POVs on what works, why, and what to test next
  • Lead creative & the flywheel - Build and run a high-velocity creative system (hundreds of assets/month) - Translate performance into actionable creative insights and hypotheses - Partner with creative teams to deliver platform-native, performance-led output
  • Scale production through automation - Design workflows to support 1,000+ concurrent ads - Implement modular frameworks (e.g. Hook × Body × CTA for video) - Leverage tools like Smartly.io for feed-based and templated creative
  • Own testing, structure & scaling - Define account structures for modern algorithmic bidding environments - Lead testing across creative, bidding, and landing experiences - Scale efficiently while navigating platform constraints and restrictions
  • Drive signals & performance quality - Own how data feeds performance (CAPI, event design, value-based optimisation) - Use tools like Motion and BI platforms to identify winning patterns

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 7+ years in Paid Social with experience scaling high-spend accounts
  • Strong, opinionated understanding of: Video vs static, UGC vs hi-fi AND Platform-native formats (Meta & TikTok)
  • Proven ability to drive creative-led growth, not just media buying
  • Experience with creative automation, feeds, or templated production
  • Deep knowledge of platform mechanics (bidding, structure, signals)
  • Comfortable with data, attribution, and incrementality

It's a bonus if you have:

  • Experience with Smartly.io or similar tools
  • Background in regulated or high-LTV categories
  • Exposure to broader growth channels (PPC, SEO, Display, CRO)
