PPC Team Lead

The Opportunity

Are you a strategic thinker who still loves rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into campaigns? Do you thrive on seeing people grow just as much as you enjoy seeing performance metrics soar? If so, this PPC Team Lead opportunity could be your ideal next step.

You’ll be joining a high-performing, people-first agency who partner with a number of lifestyle, D2C, SaaS, and service-led brands, and they’re looking for a PPC leader who’s equal parts strategist, mentor, and performance marketer.

You’ll lead a close-knit PPC team, oversee a portfolio of retained clients, and play a vital role in evolving the agency’s paid media offering. If you're ready to shape both strategy and culture within a truly collaborative environment - this is your moment.

Flexible, hybrid working options are available.
