•Work closely with internal teams including creative, strategy, and analytics to deliver best-in-class campaigns.

•Monitor, report on, and optimise campaign performance, using data to inform decisions and spot opportunities.

•Stay ahead of platform updates and industry trends, bringing innovation to your work.

What We’re Looking For

•Minimum 3 years' experience in paid social advertising, ideally within an agency environment.

•Solid understanding of platform tools (Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, etc.) and paid social best practices.

•Proven experience managing campaigns for large-scale or high-profile clients, ideally in retail or e-commerce.

•Strong client-facing skills with the confidence to lead calls, present strategies, and own performance discussions.

•Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and a collaborative mindset.

What’s on Offer

•Join a growing, highly experienced Paid Social team within a forward-thinking agency.

•Work on a major national retail brand with the scope to do standout work.

•Hybrid working model – 3 days per week in the Manchester office.

•Clear progression pathways and ongoing professional development.

•Competitive salary (DOE) and benefits package, including regular team socials, wellness support, and more.
