PPC Executive

We're working with a well-established and growing digital marketing agency — a UK market leader in their space — to find an experienced PPC Executive to join their paid media team. Their client list includes some of the biggest names in the country across retail, financial services, aviation, and beyond. Reporting into the Head of Paid Marketing and supported by a close-knit team, you'll own the end-to-end process for your campaigns, from research and planning through to reporting and optimisation. It's a hands-on, data-led role with real client impact and genuine room to grow. What You'll Be Doing • Planning, building and optimising recruitment campaigns across Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, with exposure to Microsoft Advertising, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, Indeed, Appcast and Acast depending on the client • Working to client briefs and deadlines, and building clear, insight-led reporting that goes beyond the numbers to the "so what" • Optimising campaigns to drive quality applications and clicks to apply, digging into the data to spot opportunities and improve cost per application • Working closely with Project Managers and the wider Delivery team to keep campaigns on track and clients informed What We're Looking For • At least 2 years' experience in PPC campaign management • Strong hands-on experience across Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, covering the full end-to-end process • Proactive rather than reactive — you spot things before they become a problem and flag them, rather than waiting to be asked • A genuine self-starter who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next • High attention to detail and a strong track record of following briefs precisely • Highly numerical, and comfortable turning data into a clear story • Recruitment marketing experience is a bonus, but not essential — what matters is that you understand the goal: driving quality applications, not just clicks and impressions Nice to Have • Working knowledge of Microsoft Advertising • Experience with TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, or recruitment-specific platforms such as Indeed, Appcast or Acast • Familiarity with GA4, Google Tag Manager and Looker Studio Growth & Development • A genuine path from PPC Executive into a Senior PPC role, and beyond that into leading the team for the right person over time — progress is judged on effort and results, not time served • £500 per year training fund for courses relevant to your role or career • A further £500 per year for independent learning such as books and course subscriptions — the two can be combined for bigger investments • Regular 1:1s, monthly HR catch-ups, quarterly performance reviews and objective setting Working Hours & Flexibility • Core hours are 8am to 5:30pm, with flexibility to start between 8am and 8:30am • Early finish on Fridays at 4pm or 4:30pm • Remote working with one day a week in the Woking office Benefits • 23 days' paid holiday plus bank holidays, rising by a day each year up to 26 days • End-of-year bonus, subject to business performance • Travel-to-work fund for office visits, plus an interest-free season ticket loan • Two screens and all the equipment you need from day one • Regular team socials • After probation, a benefits menu including private dental insurance, life insurance, gym membership, health MOT, extra pension contribution, beauty treatments up to £300 a year, spa days or an osteopath
