We're looking for a technically elite paid social operator to own and scale our Meta acquisition channels across our portfolio of B2C lead generation brands — legal, boilers, solar, hearing care, air conditioning, mortgages, financial services and more.

This is a direct response, lead generation role. Not brand. Not content. You'll be managing close to £1 million in annual ad spend across multiple verticals and accounts.

What You'll Own

  • End-to-end Meta (Facebook & Instagram) campaign management across all verticals
  • Campaign architecture — account structure, audience strategy, budget allocation
  • Full technical ownership of Meta Pixel, Conversions API (CAPI), and event tracking
  • Creative strategy — briefing hooks, copy angles, and ad formats with our paid media and creative team
  • A/B testing frameworks across creative, audiences, placements and offers
  • Budget scaling decisions — knowing when to push and when to pull
  • CPL reporting, lead quality tracking, and performance insight
  • Policy compliance across regulated verticals (legal, finance, healthcare)

Required Technical Skills

  • Meta Pixel and Conversions API (CAPI) implementation
  • Advanced audience targeting, retargeting and lookalike strategies
  • A/B testing and campaign optimisation
  • GA4 and GTM attribution analysis
  • CRM integrations and lead tracking
  • Data analysis and performance reporting
  • Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) — specifically for social landing pages
  • Lead generation funnel design and strategy
  • Lead nurturing workflows
  • Meta Andromeda / AI delivery — working with the algorithm, not against it

Bonus Points

  • Experience in lead gen verticals (finance, home improvement, healthcare)
  • UGC and VSL creative briefing

Who You Are

  • 3–5+ years hands‑on paid social, with 2+ years managing £250k+ annual budgets
  • You think in CPL, lead volume and ROI — cost per qualified lead is what keeps you sharp
  • Analytically rigorous, creatively curious — you know what stops a scroll and converts a click
  • You understand what makes a social landing page convert, not just what drives the click
  • Self‑managed, accountable, and comfortable holding multiple verticals simultaneously
  • Ambitious — this role has real upward trajectory in a fast‑scaling business

The Package

  • ~£1M annual ad budget under management
  • Working alongside our paid media and creative team
