Paid Social Executive

The Opportunity

Are you an ambitious Digital Marketing professional with a strong background in Paid Social, a data-loving creative with a scroll-stopping instinct? This could be your chance to thrive in an agency that’s ambitious, ever-evolving, and full of heart.

You would be joining a creative and strategy-driven performance agency partnering with travel, fashion, and hospitality brands across the globe. They are hiring for someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, dive deep, and be part of their next chapter.

This job is ideal for someone who gets a kick out of CTRs, CPCs and ROAS and loves trying new tools and tactics before they go mainstream. You will know that a killer campaign is equal parts art and science and believe in feedback, iteration, and bringing energy to the room. This opportunity would be ideal for someone who wants to be part of an agency with personality, pace, and purpose and loves working hard and seeing their efforts grow accounts.

This job can be worked hybrid from their offices in Derby.

Key Responsibilities

• Executing paid social campaigns that turn heads, capture attention, and drive real results across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other platforms
• Writing compelling ad copy, sourcing or collaborating on eye-catching creatives, and managing campaign structures for success
• Monitoring performance daily, analysing trends, and making smart, data-backed optimisations
• Collaborating directly with clients and internal teams to understand objectives, present insights, and steer campaigns to success
• Supporting wider amplification strategy when needed — we’re a team-first business and often blur the lines between paid and organic to get the best outcome
• Testing new ideas, formats, platforms and keeping up-to-date with evolving ad tools and algorithms
• Reporting on campaign performance with confidence and clarity, helping clients see the full picture of what’s working and where we’re heading next

About You

Hands-on Paid Social experience is essential including exposure to Meta Ads Manager and ideally other platforms like TikTok Ads or LinkedIn. You will have a strong understanding of audience segmentation, creative testing, and conversion-led campaign structure.

The successful candidate will have a proactive mindset — always looking to improve, test and try and be comfortable analysing data, spotting patterns, and making performance-based decisions.

You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to confidently collaborate with clients. Ultimately, you will possess a creative flair paired with analytical rigour — someone who can think like a brand and act like a performance marketer.
