Ready to bring PPC campaigns in-house for a global financial powerhouse? Do you geek out over Google Ads performance metrics? Can you spot a keyword opportunity from a mile away? Have you spent the last couple of years mastering the art of PPC campaign management? Our client – a highly profitable financial services leader – is looking for their next digital marketing star. They are offering you the chance to make a genuine impact by bringing their PPC campaigns in-house by the end of the year.

What makes this opportunity different?

• You’ll shape the future: Initially managing their agency relationships, but with a clear roadmap to bring PPC fully in-house by November.
• You’ll have real influence: Work directly with their Head of Digital to transform how they approach digital acquisition.
• You’ll see tangible results: Drive significant growth across both B2B and high-net-worth private client segments.

• You’ll gain valuable financial services experience: Perfect if you’re looking to specialize in a sector that pays well and provides stability.

The day-to-day reality:

Your first three months will focus on taking control of agency relationships, ensuring they deliver against plans and KPIs. After that, you’ll be central to bringing PPC in-house, creating campaigns that drive both corporate FX and high-value private client business.

You’ll be:

• Managing and optimizing PPC campaigns across Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising.
• Creating data-driven reports that actually influence business decisions.
