What you'll do
- Develop the strategy for each account directly with Spekk Partners, then own its implementation and iteration with the client
- Own how accounts are structured, budgeted and optimised across paid social, including Advantage+ and manual funnel campaigns
- Direct day-to-day execution on larger accounts and carry out some of it yourself on mid-sized accounts
- Plan structured tests and decide what to scale, fix or stop
- Read results properly, looking beyond ROAS to measurement, attribution, reach, frequency, creative fatigue and long buying journeys
- Diagnose growth blockers outside paid media, including website, offer, pricing, CRM and brand
- Connect paid media spend to commercial outcomes such as margin, LTV, payback, budget scenarios and forecasts
- Bring new angles, tests and ideas from a 360-degree view of marketing, from funnel structure to sharper messaging
- Recommend spend levels that can be defended commercially
- Act as the client's day-to-day lead, including regular conversations with founders and C-level stakeholders
- Balance brand priorities against short-term performance goals
- Prepare monthly reporting and recommendations that people outside paid media can understand and act on
- Brief our in-house Creative Studio or the client's creative team with a prioritised asset request list
- Analyse creative performance and recommend what to make next
What we're looking for
- 5+ years running paid social professionally across several e-commerce brands, preferably in an agency environment
- Strong, hands-on expertise in Meta Ads Manager and performance account management
- A genuinely good understanding of Google Ads, including campaign types, bidding and attribution
- Experience growing premium e-commerce accounts, particularly high-end fashion, high-priced homeware or tech with long buying journeys
- A credible understanding of the wider levers that affect paid performance, such as landing pages, pricing, email, brand, PR and influencer activity
- The ability to turn complex performance and creative data into clear, actionable recommendations
- Naturally authoritative with clients: clear, confident and persuasive in senior-level conversations
- Curious and proactive, with a strong instinct for root-cause analysis
- Driven, with high personal standards and genuine pride in your results
- Resilient and open to feedback, staying calm when tests underperform or clients escalate
- Fluent in English (C2 or equivalent)
- Based in the UK or EU and able to work UK/EU hours
Nice to have
- Experience in small, fast-moving teams, particularly within an independent or boutique agency
