Performance Marketing Executive

We are looking for a curious, data-savvy Performance Marketing Executive to join our Marketing team and support our paid media activity across the board. Reporting to the Paid Strategy Manager, you'll assist the wider Paid function with the hands-on activation, day-to-day optimisation, admin, planning, reporting and ad hoc analysis that keeps Paid Search, Paid Social and Affiliates running smoothly. The one area you'll directly own is our relationship with our affiliate agency, who manage our activity on the Awin network — taking day-to-day responsibility for the agency relationship, briefs and routine asks under the guidance of the Paid Strategy Manager. This is a development role — you'll get hands-on exposure across all of our paid channels and be actively supported in growing into a well-rounded performance marketer. The ideal candidate has 1-2 years' platform experience (ideally including affiliates), is genuinely comfortable in the data, and is hungry to take on more responsibility as they grow. A high standard of numerical accuracy, an instinct for what the data is telling you, and the ability to turn ad hoc analysis around quickly are all essential. You’ll be hands-on with both PPC & Paid Social and self-sufficient, with the analytical rigour to defend every decision with data and the strategic instinct to see the bigger picture.

Accountabilities

• Paid media activation & planning support
• Campaign activation & optimisation: Support the Paid Strategy Manager on the hands-on activation and day-to-day optimisation of campaigns across Paid Search and Paid Social — primarily Meta, Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
• Campaign administration: Provide hands-on administrative support across all paid channels — assisting on campaign & ad builds, QA, billing reconciliation, naming convention hygiene and general platform housekeeping.
• Planning support: Support the Paid Strategy Manager and Creative Social Strategy Manager on planning — briefing assets, building media plans, prepping launch checklists and tracking deliverables across campaigns.
• Cross-channel exposure: Get hands-on across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads Manager, TikTok, Pinterest and Awin — building working competence across the full paid stack.
• Affiliate management
• Agency relationship: Take day-to-day responsibility for our relationship with our affiliate agency, who manage our activity on the Awin network — managing comms, briefs, performance reviews and routine asks, and acting as the day-to-day point of contact internally under the guidance of the Paid Strategy Manager.
• Programme support: Work closely with the agency on day-to-day management of our affiliate programme on Awin — reviewing publisher activity, supporting on new partner approvals, processing commissions and helping surface opportunities for growth.
• Reporting & analysis support
• Reporting cadence: Assist the Paid Strategy Manager in pulling together standard performance reports across Paid Search, Paid Social and Affiliates — making sure the wider Marketing team have the numbers they need, when they need them.
• Ad hoc analysis: Support the team on ad hoc analysis requests — diving into platform data, Google Analytics, Looker and our wider data stack to surface clear, decision-useful answers and lift analysis work off the rest of the team.
• Data quality & accuracy: Help maintain accurate, consistent reporting frameworks, flagging discrepancies and supporting continuous improvement in how we surface paid performance.
• Learning & development
• Cross-training: Work closely with the Paid Strategy Manager (and where relevant the Creative Social Strategy Manager) to build working knowledge of strategy, optimisation and creative across all paid channels.
• Growing your remit: Take on increasing involvement in channels, tests and reporting workstreams as your experience and confidence grow.
