\n

I’m partnered with a growing digital agency based in Stockport who are looking for a Paid Media Manager to join their expanding team. This is a hybrid role, with 2 days per week in the office and 3 days working from home.

\n

\n

This is a hands-on opportunity where you’ll take full ownership of your client accounts, managing strategy, campaign builds, optimisation, reporting, and client relationships. You’ll be responsible for around 10 client accounts, predominantly within the eCommerce space, alongside some B2B clients, working with a range of well-known organisations.

\n

\n

You’ll be responsible for managing paid media campaigns across Google Ads and Meta, with a strong focus on search marketing. This includes developing strategies, optimising performance, analysing data, testing new opportunities, and presenting recommendations directly to clients.

\n

Key responsibilities include:

\n

\n

• Managing Google Ads accounts across Search, Shopping and Performance Max

\n

• Owning Meta campaigns across prospecting, retargeting, creative testing and scaling

\n

• Managing product feeds, Merchant Centre and feed optimisation

\n

• Setting and managing budgets against client targets and commercial goals

\n

• Analysing campaign performance and turning insights into actionable recommendations

\n

• Presenting results and strategies directly to clients

\n

• Supporting audits, pitches and new account builds

\n

• Working with data beyond the platform interface to identify growth opportunities

\n

\n

What we’re looking for:

\n

\n

• 3–5 years’ experience managing paid media campaigns within an agency environment

\n

• Strong hands-on experience across Google Ads and Meta

\n

• Proven experience managing accounts independently from strategy through to execution

\n

• Experience with Search, Shopping, Performance Max and feed management

\n

• Strong understanding of budgets, targets, margins and commercial performance

\n

• Comfortable managing client relationships directly and having strategic conversations

\n

• Data-driven mindset with experience using analytics tools

\n

\n

The agency

\n

\n

You’ll be joining a growing digital agency that values ownership, transparency and getting close to the data. Rather than working through layers of account management, you’ll have direct relationships with clients and the freedom to make decisions that genuinely impact performance.

\n

They use AI to remove repetitive tasks and expect the team to embrace new technology, while maintaining a strong focus on commercial outcomes and what the data actually says.

\n

\n

The package:

\n

• Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience

\n

• Hybrid working – 2 days in the Stockport office, 3 days from home

\n

• Early finishes on Fridays

\n

• Quarterly company socials

\n

• Opportunity to work with a diverse client portfolio and take real ownership of campaigns

\n

\n

If you’re currently managing paid media accounts within an agency and looking for more ownership, less bureaucracy, and the opportunity to make a bigger impact, this could be a great next step.
