This is a strategic and hands-on role owning the paid search function end-to-end - from campaign setup and optimisation to data pipelines, AI experimentation and creative testing.

What you'll be doing:

  • Own all Google Ads activity - strategy, execution and performance

  • Build and implement structured testing frameworks across paid media

  • Analyse funnel data and performance metrics to optimise spend and outcomes

  • Use AI tools and automation to enhance decision-making and creative workflows

  • Collaborate across product, brand, credit and CRM to align growth efforts

  • Build dashboards for real-time insights and agile optimisation

What they're looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience managing and scaling Google Ads in a performance-led DTC environment

  • Strong technical foundation in analytics (GA4, GTM, creative testing tools etc.)

  • Experience using AI tools and scripts to automate and scale performance

  • Confident developing and testing creative assets (video and static)

  • Strong commercial acumen with a structured, analytical mindset

  • Comfortable in fast-paced, high-ownership roles with lots of autonomy
