As a Paid Social Specialist, you\’ll run high-budget campaigns, lead performance strategy, and shape creative output that drives measurable growth.

This is a hands-on, career-defining opportunity for someone ready to lead acquisition for exciting challenger brands—without stepping into people management.

Background:
Launch With Us is one of the UK’s fastest-growing advertising agencies, founded in 2021 by seasoned performance marketers. We’ve built a lean, high-performing team of 10 and delivered exceptional results for brands like Khanum’s, Lucy & Lola, Bubble Panda, DJK, and Watermans.

Our sweet spot is D2C eCommerce. We help our clients scale profitably by combining data-led paid media with creative that converts. As we grow, we’re restructuring and investing in new talent—like you.

As we scale further, we’re making key investments in our structure, people, and processes to support our next phase of growth. We’re now looking for a Paid Social Specialist to join our team and take ownership of campaign execution and performance for a range of high-growth D2C brands.

This role offers autonomy, variety, and the chance to work with exciting clients. You’ll be empowered to make strategic and creative decisions that directly impact results. You’ll manage large media budgets, use top-tier tools like Triple Whale and Motion, and be fully responsible for hitting client growth KPIs such as CAC, NC-ROAS, eROAS, and spend efficiency.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day performance of a portfolio of D2C e-commerce clients, working in fast-moving and competitive categories. You’ll lead campaign setup, optimisation, and testing with a sharp eye on creative performance and return on ad spend.

• Strategise, build, and optimise Meta and TikTok ad campaigns across multiple clients, with budgets ranging from £5k to over £25k per month.

• Stay current with platform changes and best practices across eCommerce and paid media.

Progression Path:

This role is designed to grow into a Senior Paid Social Specialist or Manager position within 6–12 months, depending on performance.
