Paid Media Manager - Google Ads

Location: Remote-only (anywhere you can deliver great work, based in the UK)

Job Type: Full-time (4.5 days a week)

Salary: £32,000 p/a gross

Our Mission

We exist to deliver expert Google Ads success for growing businesses — whether lead generation or ecommerce — at a fair, transparent price, leveraging the best of ad technology and human expertise.

We believe:

• In combining deep platform knowledge with automation to drive better outcomes faster.
• In working smart, respecting people\’s time, and focusing on outputs, not hours.
• In building a culture based on respect for time, technology, outputs, and people.

About the Role

We\’re looking for a Client Performance Manager to join our delivery team.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Performance to manage and optimise a portfolio of client accounts — across both lead generation and ecommerce businesses .

You’ll be managing real budgets, delivering real results, and making intelligent use of Google Ads automation and AI.

You should be as comfortable crafting a PMax campaign as you are reviewing a Search build for structural integrity.

We\’re a fast-moving, experienced team — and you\’ll be working with people who know the craft inside out.

As an early hire at a fast-growing startup, you’ll help shape how we work — it’s high-paced and high-expectation, but offers real ownership, development, and upside.

What You\’ll Be Doing

• Managing a growing portfolio of Google Ads client accounts, across a mix of lead generation and ecommerce.
• Owning campaign performance: budget pacing, bid strategy tuning, testing frameworks, audience management, and ongoing account hygiene.
• Actively using Google Ads automation and AI (Performance Max, Smart Bidding, Broad Match, RSA) — understanding when to trust it and when human intervention is needed.
• Reporting intelligently: cutting through noise to deliver the key business outcomes clients care about (revenue, leads, sales growth).
• Managing your work time and output transparently, with an eye on efficiency and margin.
• Sharing learnings and helping us continually refine how we deliver results.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves:

• 2–4 years\’ experience managing live Google Ads campaigns (Search essential, Performance Max preferred).
• Practical knowledge of how to use Google’s automation and AI tools effectively.
• High attention to detail — you spot issues others miss.
• Clear, concise communication skills (internally and externally).
• A remote-working mindset: autonomous, proactive, and organised. We don’t have an office, so you have to be comfortable working completely remote.
• Focus on outputs — we care what you achieve, not how many hours you log.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience managing both lead generation and ecommerce accounts.
• Basic working knowledge of GA4, Tag Manager, and simple conversion tracking setups.
• Agency experience handling multiple client accounts at once.
• Google certifications.

What You\’ll Get

• Full remote flexibility — we care about results, not where you work from .
• Competitive salary plus performance bonus.
• A team of senior-level practitioners to learn from (6–15+ years’ experience).
• Clear paths to grow and specialise within the company as we scale.
• A company actively working in a 4.5 day week model (respect for time).
• A culture that genuinely values expertise, smart work, and respecting each other.

Our Values

• Respect Time — Get things done well and without wasting others\’ time.
• Respect Technology — Use the best tools available, stay adaptable, stay sharp.
• Respect Outputs — Focus on real results for clients, not vanity metrics.
• Respect People — Be approachable, collaborative, and generous.

Our Hiring Process

We believe in a clear, respectful, and structured hiring process , so here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Application — Submit your CV and a short written application answering three questions.
2. Screening Interview (30 minutes) — Quick conversation about your experience, goals, and fit.
3. Paid Task — Short practical exercise to demonstrate your Google Ads thinking and attention to detail (paid for your time).
4. Final Interview — Deep-dive discussion with the Managing Director and Head of Performance about working style, expectations, and next steps.
5. Offer Stage — If successful, we\’ll offer you the role with full salary and bonus structure outlined clearly.

We commit to a clear yes/no answer at each stage.

How to Apply

Send us your CV plus a short note (2–3 paragraphs max) answering:

• The best Google Ads result you’ve personally delivered — and how you achieved it.
• A time you used automation or AI to improve a campaign or save time.

Why Join Now?

We\’re scaling fast, winning great clients, and building a company focused on real results, fairness, and expert-led growth.

If you want to do great work, be respected for it, and have the freedom to work the way you work best — we\’d love to hear from you.

Notes:

• Role is full-time (4.5 days / week)
• Remote-only (UK only).
• Start date: As soon as the right person is ready. (Ideally June)
