PPC/Paid Media Account Manager (Google Ads)

At Itineris, we help ambitious organisations turn complexity into performance by using strategy, creativity and data to drive measurable outcomes. As an award-winning digital agency working across the education, charity and professional services sectors, we build campaigns grounded in clarity, impact and collaboration.

Performance marketing is a critical part of our offering, and we’re known for delivering smart, efficient campaigns that make a real difference to our clients’ growth.

The Role

We’re looking for a PPC/Paid Media Account Manager with strong hands-on experience in Google Ads and excellent client relationship skills.

This role is all about combining technical ability with clear communication. You’ll be managing tightly run campaigns where every pound has to work hard; planning, optimising, and reporting on activity that drives measurable results. At the same time, you’ll act as a trusted point of contact for clients, ensuring they feel supported and informed throughout the campaign lifecycle.

You’ll take day-to-day ownership of paid search campaigns across Google Ads, from keyword research and account setup, through to optimisation, reporting and recommendations.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end Google Ads campaigns for a portfolio of clients, with a focus on lead generation and acquisition.
• Build strong, collaborative relationships with clients, becoming their trusted advisor on campaign delivery, insights and opportunities.
• Conduct keyword research, audience targeting and ad copy development aligned to client goals.
• Set up and maintain search, display, remarketing and Performance Max campaigns, ensuring accounts are structured for efficiency and clarity.
• Monitor pacing, budgets and bids closely, maximising performance from smaller, tightly controlled budgets.
• Analyse campaign data to identify trends, diagnose performance issues and propose clear optimisation actions.
• Produce clear, insight-led reports that explain results, highlight value and recommend next steps.
• Collaborate with creative, content and UX colleagues to optimise ad messaging and landing pages for conversion.
• Stay up to date with Google Ads innovations, beta opportunities and best practices.
• Support new business activity by contributing Google Ads expertise and performance insights.

About You

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re confident running Google Ads campaigns end to end, and just as comfortable explaining results to a client as you are refining a bid strategy.

You’ll likely bring:

• 3+ years’ hands-on experience managing campaigns in Google Ads.
• Proven success in delivering lead generation or B2B campaigns.
• Strong client-facing skills, able to present data clearly and build long-term relationships.
• A track record of making smaller budgets work hard, driving efficiency and meaningful results.
• Good working knowledge of campaign tracking, attribution and troubleshooting (UTMs, pixels, tags).
• Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret performance data and recommend actions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

What We Offer

• A collaborative, insight-led culture with high autonomy and real ownership.
• The chance to work on meaningful campaigns for clients in education, charity and professional services.
• Hybrid working; 3 days per week in our Shoreditch office.
• Competitive salary and pension.
• A fast-paced, supportive team environment that values clarity, creativity and impact.
• Regular team events, socials and knowledge-sharing sessions.

How to Apply

If you’re an experienced Google Ads professional who loves building strong client relationships and knows how to get the most out of every campaign, we’d love to hear from you.
