Paid Social Senior Manager Paid Media · London Bridge · in England

Charlie Oscar is a digital growth company built to transform brands and underpinned by marketing science. We combine data, technology and creativity to advise and execute digital media analysis and strategy for the world's most ambitious brands. We transform growth.

How do we transform growth? It all starts in understanding what advertising activation actually performs. Our proprietary marketing science suite, COmpass, gives clients that very insight. Using this, our team of experts provide the best strategy and execution, that is closer to the truth than ever before, across digital disciplines spanning paid media, influencer CRM & CRO.

We're an innovative, independently owned company. We're not "growth hackers" or a performance agency that follows industry best practices. Rather, we're a group of founders and seasoned operators who are building innovative tools and services that set a new standard for digital marketing.

At Charlie Oscar, we like to select team members based on attitude and culture add. While we value experience and expertise, we want to work with people who are eager to challenge the status quo and driven to consistently deliver best-in-class output. We believe in work-life balance and prioritise team well-being. We work hard but also make time to bond as a team, have some fun and socialise. We do quarterly social events and an annual company trip away to recharge and spend quality time together. The team work together in our London Bridge office, and from home.

At Charlie Oscar, we’re looking for people who are genuinely curious about how AI can help improve, evolve and elevate their personal and professional performance, and help us push the boundaries of what’s possible in marketing and advertising. You don’t need to be an AI specialist, but we value those who are already using AI tools to work smarter - whether that’s unlocking creative ideas, speeding up workflows, uncovering sharper insights, or finding new ways to drive performance. We love people who challenge the norm, ask "how can this be better?", and see AI as a tool to elevate the craft, not replace it.
