Senior Paid Media Executive

Senior Paid Media Executive

Location: London (office-based, hybrid) | Salary: £30,000 – £35,000 + bonus | Type: Full-time, permanent

About the agency

An independent, fast-growing media agency is expanding its paid media team on the back of strong organic growth. The agency works across a genuinely diverse client base — from B2B and B2C financial services, to transport and public sector, consumer brands, membership bodies in the creative industries, and B2B telecoms - giving the successful candidate exposure to a broad mix of sectors and objectives, from brand-building to hard performance.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing, independent shop at a pivotal point, with genuine scope to shape your own channel specialism as the team scales.

The role

You'll join as a Senior Paid Media Executive with a primary focus on paid social and programmatic , working closely with the wider paid media team. The split is approximately:

• 70% paid social / programmatic
• 30% paid search

You'll be exposed to a wide variety of client objectives - from B2B lead generation to consumer brand and content engagement campaigns - giving you the platform to build a genuinely well-rounded skill set.

What we're looking for

• Solid hands-on experience in paid social and/or programmatic (Google Ads experience is a strong plus, particularly given the shift toward audience-based buying)
• At least 12–18 months' relevant experience
• Open to candidates from network or independent agency backgrounds
• Curious, proactive, and genuinely interested in the "why" behind campaign decisions — not just execution
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats as part of a smaller, close-knit team

Please note: Candidates must have full right to work in the UK. This role does not offer visa sponsorship.

Process

1. Initial Teams call (45–60 mins) — competency-based, getting to know your experience and fit
2. Face-to-face second stage - a short test, followed by a presentation and conversation

Start date: Ideally September/October, though the agency is happy to wait for the right person. Candidates on shorter notice periods (1–2 months) are welcome to apply.
