As we grow our digital presence, we're looking for a Paid Media Executive to help deliver impactful, performance-driven campaigns that connect people with the support and services they need.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a hands-on role in a fast-evolving team, working across paid search, display, and social channels to drive high-quality leads for our pre-paid funeral plans, funeral services, and legal products.

• Creating structured, accurate reporting and monitoring daily performance across key metrics (CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS).
• Partnering with analytics teams to ensure campaign tracking and attribution are fully accurate.
• Maintaining high standards of campaign hygiene including structure, naming, UTM tracking, and audience management.
• Supporting the broader digital team with strategic testing and multichannel alignment.

What we're looking for:

An individual with a keen eye for detail, a naturally analytical mindset, and a curiosity to keep learning and improving. Whether you’re currently agency-side or already in-house, we want you to bring your knowledge into a business where your work has true impact. We will also look for:

• Any existing experience running PPC and/or paid social campaigns or working within a wider marketing function is advantageous.
• Proficiency in Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta Ads Manager.
• Comfortable working with tools like Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and spreadsheets.
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Confident interpreting campaign data and making evidence-based recommendations.
• Curious mindset with a willingness to learn and grow.
• Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
