We are a UK-based digital agency. We help UK businesses win more work online through high-converting websites and paid advertising. We're looking for a genuinely skilled Paid Ads Specialist, someone who lives and breathes paid media and can prove it.
Read carefully before applying: this is a paid advertising role first and foremost. It is NOT a general social media management role. If your experience is mainly scheduling organic posts, this is not the role for you. We will only consider applicants who can show a real portfolio of high-performing paid campaigns they have built and run.
WHAT THIS ROLE IS (in order of priority)
1. Meta Ads
2. Google Ads
3. Microsoft Ads
4. Organic social media posts (secondary — supporting the above)
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Planning, building, and managing paid campaigns across Meta, Google, and Microsoft Ads
- Doing your own research — audience, market, competitor, and keyword research — to build campaigns that convert
- Structuring campaigns properly: well-organised campaigns, ad sets/groups, audiences, and budgets that are thought through, not guesswork
- Writing high-converting ad copy
- Producing your own ad creatives and graphics that fit our brand and the client's goals — you can design, not just request designs from someone else
- Setting up and reading conversion tracking, and optimising campaigns on real data (CPC, CPA, ROAS)
- Managing organic social posts to support the paid work
- Reporting clearly on performance and what you'll improve next
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
- A real portfolio / proof of paid campaigns you have personally built and run, with results
- Strong hands-on experience with Meta Ads, plus Google and ideally Microsoft Ads
- Demonstrated ability to design your own ad creatives and graphics (show examples)
- Proven understanding of campaign structure, targeting, and optimisation
- The ability to research a market/audience independently and turn it into a sound campaign plan
- Confident, persuasive ad copywriting in fluent English
- Self-directed — you can take a brief and deliver without hand-holding
WE WILL NOT CONSIDER
- Applicants with little or no paid ads experience
- Applicants whose experience is only organic social media management
- Applicants with no portfolio or proof of past work
- Generic copy-paste applications
NICE TO HAVE
- Google / Meta / Microsoft Ads certifications
- Experience advertising for local / service businesses and trades
- Landing page and conversion-rate optimisation experience
- Experience using AI tools in your ad and creative workflow
HOW WE WORK
- Fully remote, async-first (we use Teams)
- Clear goals, high standards, room to grow as we scale
- Long-term, stable relationship for the right specialist
TO APPLY (applications missing these will be ignored)
1. Links or files showing paid campaigns you've built — platform, budget managed, and the results (CPA / ROAS / conversions)
2. Examples of ad creatives/graphics you designed yourself
3. A short note: how would you research and structure a brand-new Meta Ads campaign for a UK service business from scratch?
4. Which ad platforms you're strongest on, and your certifications if any
