Performance + Programmatic Lead in Slough

Our AgencyUnfinished is the media agency that’s never done. This spirit of relentlessness runs through our team and approach. We are looking for a brilliant Performance & Programmatic Lead to work across a range of key clients. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing media team, shape the evolution of digital advertising in our agency and work with some great clients across food, retail, entertainment and ecommerce. Unfinished is one of the fastest growing parts of our group. This has been driven by a number of new client wins over the last year but also as clients are increasingly looking for a one-stop-shop, and demanding a closer relationship between creative and media. Clients include Entertainment Film Distributors, Wowcher, Deli Kitchen, Loans2Go, Blue Light Card and Chang Beer (amongst others).

About The Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for owning the agency’s digital paid media capability across planning, execution, performance, and innovation. Our key platforms are DV360 and Google Ads. This is very much a hands-on role, with the focus on setting best-practice standards, and ensuring digital investment delivers measurable business outcomes for clients.

We are looking for someone who can push us further, is highly diligent and has a ‘never-done’ spirit. Key aspects of the role:

• Expert programmatic know-how - with six or more years of hands-on experience in DV360; expert at setting up and buying across programmatic display and YouTube; full understanding of end-to-end campaign management, billing and reporting.
• Making performance brilliant - successful track record in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads suites, covering PPC, Performance Max, Shopping and Demand Gen; knowledge of all buy types and flexible to client needs.
• Technical leadership - you’ll know how to get the most from ad platforms, be able to deploy tracking (using GTM and CM360), be an expert in Google Analytics and have familiarity with third party ad tracking services.
• Reporting and operational excellence - you’ll take the lead on streamlining client reporting, using Looker Studios or similar platforms; you’ll have clear processes to manage quality and optimise ad spend.
• Analysis and ‘what next’ - you will be an expert in Excel and able to create accurate reports and clear recommendations; and be a clear and compelling communicator face-to-face and in writing.

Additionally, we’d love to see the following attributes:

• Learner and adviser - you’ll be obsessed with digital advertising, on top of the latest trends and tech and willing to push our clients to test and trial approaches that are new and novel.
• Strong communicator - verbally and written, ideally able to move between a spreadsheet and a slides deck with confidence.
• A planner and a do-er - you’ll need bags of flexibility, from creating plans to delivering them; supporting paid media colleagues; supporting proposals and pitches, and creating recommendations and post-campaign reports which cut through.
• Platform experience - knowledge of the programmatic landscape and providers such as the Trade Desk or Amazon DSP would be a bonus.
• Be on it with AI - to articulate how we can automate, enhance, plan, forecast and perform better.

We are a small but growing media agency. We’re looking for someone with the correct blend of experience with the ability to be fully hands-on. Someone wanting to do more and move forward. You’ll be hardworking, positive and passionate about your work. You’ll be joining a fun and energetic team.
