Senior Paid Social Specialist

We're looking for a Senior Paid Social Specialist ready to operate as a true growth partner and to own the strategic direction of a dedicated pod of media buyers to drive measurable performance across a portfolio of ecommerce clients.

This is a leadership role that sits at the intersection of advanced paid social strategy, ecommerce expertise, and people development.

You'll be the most senior operator across your client portfolio, leading high-stakes client conversations, setting paid social campaign strategies across Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest, and building a high-performing team around you.

Your team will own the full campaign lifecycle: account structure, budget allocation, creative testing frameworks, optimisation, and long-term growth strategy. Many of our partners give us full creative freedom, which means real space to test bold ideas and scale what converts.

You're both a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator. You set the vision, own the outcomes, and lead by example every day. 

You'll also think beyond the dashboard. That means reading P&L data, focusing on contribution margin over ROAS, and making decisions that drive sustainable profit, not just strong performance metrics.

And internally, you'll raise the bar: mentoring junior team members and setting the strategic standard across every account you lead.

If the intersection of creative, data, and commercial growth is where you do your best work, this is that role.
