Senior Paid Search Specialist
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.
