Your tasks

We’re looking for a data driven Paid Search Manager with a commercial mindset who is driven to exceed targets. This is a hands-on role - we want someone comfortable in-platform, constantly optimizing, testing, and finding new ways to win in a competitive market.

You’ll own a portfolio of campaigns across Search, Performance Max, and other Google-owned placements, with a focus on generating high-quality leads that convert.

You will report into the Head of Paid Search and Google Ads, in the Global Paid Media unit, and work closely with our in-house creative, marketing operations, product and technology and analytics teams to push performance forward — balancing the data-driven side of PPC with the commercial instincts to know when to double down or move on.

Your Core Focus:

• Own and optimise campaigns across Google Search, PMax, App Campaigns, YouTube, and DemandGen
• Drive growth through hands-on campaign builds, bid strategies, and testing
• Monitor performance and spot opportunities to scale profitably
• Feed creative and copy ideas back into the team to improve CTR and CVR
• Keep a close eye on budget pacing, CPA, and downstream performance metrics
• Stay ahead of Google Ads trends, formats, and beta opportunities
• Work with analytics to understand true ROI beyond platform numbers

Requirements

• Proven hands-on experience running PPC campaigns in Google Ads (not just briefing agencies)
• Strong understanding of search and Google-owned ad placements (Search, PMax, YouTube, App Campaigns, Demand Gen)
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to translate numbers into actions
• Confident in testing, scaling, and optimising in competitive markets
• Curious, commercially aware, and comfortable making quick decisions
• Bonus points if you’ve worked in lead generation or financial services
