Paid Social Executive in Leeds

About the team

We’re a passionate team on a mission to make Vintage Cash Cow the go-to destination for giving pre-loved items a new lease of life. As we scale across the UK and internationally, Paid Social particularly Meta is a core growth engine, driving discovery, demand creation, and efficient customer acquisition at scale. Our Growth team sits at the centre of this, combining performance marketing, creative, data, and experimentation to unlock scalable growth. Paid Social plays a critical role in this ecosystem, blending creative thinking with analytical rigour to drive both volume and quality.

About the role

As a Paid Social Executive (Meta-focused), you’ll support the execution, optimisation, and scaling of our Meta activity across multiple markets. Reporting into the Paid Social team, you’ll play a key role in bringing campaigns to life, working across creative, targeting, tracking, and performance analysis.

You’ll help ensure campaigns are executed with excellence, creatives are continuously improved, and insights are fed back into the wider growth strategy. While Meta is the primary focus, this role will also support the exploration and expansion into other Paid Social platforms such as TikTok, Pinterest, and emerging channels—helping test, learn, and scale new acquisition opportunities over time. You will work closely with Paid Social, Creative, CRM, and Data teams to ensure campaigns are high quality, well tracked, and continuously improving.
