Paid Media Manager - Ppc & Paid Social - Remote

Title: Paid Media Manager – PPC & Paid Social - Remote

Location : Their main office is based in Milton Kynes – They ask employees attend the office 3 days per month (Travel expenses paid)

Salary £30-£40k plus benefits package

** Must have the necessary right to live and work in the UK**

Did you get up at 5am to do a 3 hour commute to a job with a manager that has told you there are no promotions or pay rises this year? Are you working in a run-down office where even the coffee machine doesn’t work? Is funded training and development courses something that has taken a back burner? Then this is the solution for you!

I’m looking for a Paid Media Manager to join a Growth Marketing agency with shared workspaces in Milton Keynes. The agency has fully embraced flexible working, you have the option to work from Co-Working spaces in Milton Keynes or work fully remotely but they do ask you attend the office 3 days per month (travel expenses are paid), they understand the world has changed and the demand for a flexible approach to work is the top priority for most workers in the UK.

This role is paying between £30-£40k depending on experience and the benefits package is above average with a few luxuries including unlimited holiday…

What sets this agency apart from the others? Where do I begin?!

• Work-life balance
• Co-work space or remote working
• Huge progression scope
• Training budgets, cross training
• Exposure to a range of different clients
• Company trips
• Fun and hard working culture

This really is an opportunity that won’t be around long!  

You will join an already established PPC team of around 10 strong and report into the Senior PPC team Manager. There are plans to grow the PPC team by an extra 4 people in the coming months and with this means changes within the wider marketing team. How incredible to be part of a growing team with big ambition and exciting growth!

This role is client-facing and will be working with large technology clients covering in the majority Lead Gen and Brand Build. This selection of clients all have six-figure monthly budgets and often operate on a global basis, so there is plenty of opportunity to experiment with campaigns across different regions. This role is the first step to strategic management but will remain hands on in the most part, they have a hands-on ethos so everyone in the business still hands right up to the directors.

All of the assigned have a Growth mindset so they will be constantly pushing for a greater ROI, building strong trustworthy relationships with the clients and act as a consultant and prepared to push back when needed.

This role primarily focuses on PPC but they expect some Paid Social responsibilities to be added post-training (if you need it). They are happy to cross-train to other areas of marketing or creativity in the long term, they believe learning never stops so aim to provide learning opportunities constantly, this leaves your career progression completely in your hands.  

The agency works with B2C and B2B so previous experience with both sectors would be advantageous. The most important thing for this agency is you and your personality. PPC can be taught but ambition and drive can’t; as long as you have heaps of that then this could be the perfect move for you.

Additionally, this agency has a £800 training budget per individual as well as a heap of Google Courses fully funded by the company; they truly believe in investing in their staff.
