Improve profitable customer acquisition by understanding the journey from ad click through quote, enquiry and completed sale.
Track customer acquisition cost, conversion rates and return on advertising spend, with attention to lead quality and commercial value.
Audit existing accounts, identify wasted spend and growth opportunities, and build a clear programme of testing and optimisation.
Own the accuracy of campaign measurement, working with developers on GA4, Google Tag Manager, platform conversion tracking, enhanced conversions, offline conversion imports and consent-aware measurement.
Work with the website and development teams to improve landing pages and the quote journey through structured conversion-rate testing.
Forecast spend and results, monitor performance closely, and explain what changed, why it matters and what action to take.
Develop and test Meta, remarketing, display, YouTube, Performance Max and other suitable channels where there is a clear commercial case.
Contribute to SEO and AI-search optimisation (AIO/GEO), including technical priorities, useful content and visibility in AI-generated search answers, alongside internal colleagues or specialist partners.
Work with the relevant teams to keep advertising accurate and appropriate for an insurance business.
What we are looking for
Substantial hands-on PPC experience, typically five or more years, with clear evidence of independently managing sophisticated Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising accounts.
Equivalent depth of experience and results will also be considered.
A strong agency background or comparable in-house experience, with personal responsibility for meaningful budgets and measurable commercial outcomes.
Proven ability to improve acquisition cost, conversion performance or profitable growth.
You should be able to explain the starting point, your own actions and the result.
Strong understanding of paid-search automation and bidding, together with the judgement to challenge platform recommendations and test whether they add value.
Practical experience with GA4, Google Tag Manager, conversion tracking and reporting, including diagnosing measurement problems.
Confident analytical skills, clear communication and the ability to prioritise and execute independently.
Ability to work from our Kennington office five days a week.
Experience that would be especially useful Insurance, financial services, comparison websites or other competitive lead-generation businesses.
Meta Ads and other paid acquisition channels.
Landing-page testing and conversion-rate optimisation.
Technical and content SEO, and practical experimentation with AI-search visibility.
Looker Studio, paid-media automation, scripts or data analysis tools.
