Work With Us

Senior Paid Search Specialist

£35,000 - £45,000
Hybrid / Sheffield

We're looking for a Senior Paid Search Specialist with deep ecommerce expertise and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their business goals. If you're skilled in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads, comfortable managing product feeds and shopping campaigns, and excited about mentoring junior team members, we'd like to hear from you.

The Role

As our Senior Paid Search Specialist, you'll lead the strategy and execution of high-performing Google Ads and Microsoft Ads campaigns, with a particular focus on ecommerce. You'll be a key part of our Paid Media team, driving measurable results for clients across product-focused verticals whilst championing the values of Mastery, Community and Integrity in everything you do.

With deep expertise in ecommerce, product feeds and shopping campaigns, you'll help our clients achieve their genuine business goals, going beyond mere in-platform metrics. You'll work across both lead generation and ecommerce accounts (approximately 60% ecommerce focus), bringing strategic thinking and hands-on excellence to every project.

This is a hybrid role: while most of your work can be completed remotely from anywhere in the UK, you’ll be required to join the team in our Sheffield office at least one day every month. This dedicated in-person time is designed to foster real connection, collaboration and development within the Paid Media team and the wider agency.

Reporting directly to the Head of Paid Media, you will be joining an experienced and enthusiastic team operating at the top of their game. While you will be expected to work independently on some projects, you will also be provided the opportunity to both lead and support colleagues on larger projects. Your role will encompass coaching and developing junior team members through shadowing, providing feedback, and conducting internal training workshops to enhance the entire team's capabilities.

You'll work hand-in-hand with our talented team of designers, Organic Search marketers, project managers and developers to create purposeful campaigns that deliver real business impact for our clients.

Core Responsibilities

Strategic & Account Management

  • Develop and deliver multi-channel paid search strategies grounded in client business objectives, with a strong emphasis on ecommerce and product feed optimisation

  • Build and optimise Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts from the ground up, including campaign structure, keyword research, audience targeting, conversion tracking and compelling ad copy

  • Manage ecommerce product feeds and shopping campaigns, ensuring clean data, accurate product information and optimised feeds through Google Merchant Centre and feed management platforms

  • Conduct comprehensive account audits to identify performance opportunities and deliver clear, actionable recommendations

  • Monitor and refine campaign performance continuously, always focused on driving genuine business outcomes for clients

Client Partnership & Communication

  • Build strong, trusted relationships with clients, ensuring you understand their business deeply and provide confident strategic advice

  • Create insightful reports that translate data into meaningful business impact, clearly explaining performance in terms that relate to client KPIs and commercial objectives

  • Lead quarterly account performance reviews with confidence and clarity, presenting strategic insights and recommendations

  • Communicate proactively with clients and internal stakeholders when challenges arise, focusing conversations on solutions rather than obstacles

Team Development & Culture

  • Coach and mentor junior team members through hands-on support, constructive feedback and internal training workshops

  • Champion Evoluted's values of Mastery, Community and Integrity through your own work and interactions

  • Proactively share knowledge and insights across the team, identifying opportunities for improvement and driving positive change

  • Model accountability by acknowledging mistakes transparently and focusing on solutions

Emerging Platforms & Continuous Learning

  • Stay at the forefront of paid search innovation, exploring emerging platforms and automation tools

  • Bring fresh perspectives and best practices to the team, continuously elevating our approach to search marketing

  • Contribute to Evoluted's internal marketing initiatives

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with at least three years of demonstrable experience creating and managing successful paid search and shopping campaigns - examples are essential - as well as the passion to push boundaries in this exciting role.

We're particularly keen to hear from people who:

  • Bring diverse perspectives and different ways of thinking to problem-solving

  • Are genuinely curious about ecommerce, client businesses and how paid search drives real commercial outcomes

  • Want to be part of something bigger than themselves - a team committed to doing excellent work and supporting each other's growth

  • Value honesty and transparency in how we work together

  • Take pride in the quality of everything they produce, from data accuracy to client communication

  • Flexi-Time

    We know that everyone's lives are a little bit different and we all have our own commitments away from work. Our flexi-time policy means you can work anytime between 7am and 7pm, leaving plenty of time for appointments, school runs, workouts, siestas or whatever else might come up!

  • Fully Hybrid Working

    We offer a 100% hybrid working environment - whether you work from home, our Sheffield HQ or anything in between. So whether you just wanna sit in your PJs and get your head down or drop by the office for a more social working environment, it's totally up to you!

  • Fully Equipped Office

    Our HQ in Sheffield is fully kitted out with everything you need when you don't feel like working from home. Free parking, hot-desking, meeting spaces, a state-of-the-art Jura coffee machine, regular deliveries of healthy (and sometimes naughty) snacks, and more.

  • Work Abroad

    Work abroad for up to 5 days at a time, allowing for more efficient use of your annual leave for longer trips, supporting visits to see family and friends overseas, or whatever else might crop up - you just need access to a stable internet connection.

  • Transparent Salary Bands

    We provide transparent, regularly reviewed salary bands so you'll always know what the reward is for your achievements and that you're in line with both your peers and the wider industry. This is tied into our performance management framework so you can celebrate continuous development as well as the big leaps.

  • Profit Share Scheme

    20% of Evoluted's profit from client related work is shared equally amongst the whole team every year in December's payroll. We love being able to share the rewards from our company's success with our team, providing a well-deserved end of year bonus as a thank you for your commitment and hard work.

  • Training & Education

    Learning never stops, no matter your age or experience, so we provide expensed conference trips, in-house lunch & learn sessions, external training specialists, courses, books and more. £750 dedicated personal training budgets, bi-annual reviews and regular 1:1s create personalised development plans to get you where you want to go.

  • Career Development Support

    We all want to know what the next step in our career looks like and more importantly, how we can get there. That's why we built our own bespoke performance management tool combining clear skill-based progression pathways with qualitative appraisals to get a 360-view of your personal development.

  • Enhanced Family Policies

    As part of our commitment to our people, Evoluted offers generous benefits and paid time off for expecting parents, providing extra financial support on top of statutory pay, of up to 28 weeks of paid maternity leave and 4 weeks' paternity leave for people starting or growing their families.

  • Annual Leave & Sick Pay

    Taking regular time off from work is essential for preventing stress and burnout, so we give everyone 25 days of paid annual leave annually (plus bank holidays), rising by an additional day per year of service to a maximum of 30 days, plus 10 days of fully-paid sick leave.

  • Mental Health Support

    With a shift in awareness and a rise in mental health support requirements, more people than ever are talking about their mental health and wellbeing at work. Evoluted have contracted Sanctus to provide trained mental health coaches who are available every month to anyone who would like a safe space to talk.

  • Cultural Roles

    Company culture isn't driven from the top-down - it's something that develops and grows naturally. That's why we introduced our Cultural Roles covering Diversity & Inclusion, Wellbeing, CSR and Social Events. These roles can be held by anyone at Evoluted to develop our culture, introduce new initiatives and make our company an even better place to work.
