Who we they:

They are a digital advertising agency for high consideration products.

In addition to this, we also offer creative campaign development and social first content production.

About the job:

What you would do in this role:

This is a senior strategic role that sits between our Senior Paid Media Managers and our Partner & Head of Paid Media. You'd be the person who takes full ownership of a client's paid media strategy from day one; building it from the ground up, anchored to their commercial reality. That means understanding their P&L, their CAC targets, their LTV models and their broader business goals before you ever open Ads Manager.

Once the strategy is live, you own it. You're the one who spots when something isn't working, diagnoses why and course-corrects without waiting for someone senior to weigh in. You're also the person the client calls when there's an issue or a wider challenge. Not because you've been cc'd, but because you are their most senior point of contact. From Marfa Stance to Humanrace, the brands we work with have high standards and expect sharp, senior thinking from the people managing their spend.

Beyond your own accounts, you'll play a real role in developing the team around you. Our Senior Managers and Executives are talented, but they need someone who can coach them, challenge them and raise the bar on how we all work.

Who is this role for:

• Strategists who think in spreadsheets, not just dashboards. You should be as comfortable modelling a client's unit economics as you are building a campaign structure. We need someone who can connect paid media performance to actual business outcomes.
• You've managed Meta campaigns professionally for 7+ years and have solid experience across other channels, including intricate understanding of Paid Search. You know these platforms inside out, but you also understand their limitations and where they sit in a broader marketing mix.
• People who own the room. You'll be the most senior person your clients interact with regularly. That means running QBRs, navigating tough conversations and presenting strategy clearly and persuasively. Your communication, both written and verbal, needs to match the calibre of the brands you'll represent.
• You understand measurement beyond last-click.
