Head of Paid Media
London Bridge | Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Bonus

In the mid-2010s, a small group of founders and experienced operators came together with a shared frustration that the marketing industry had become too reliant on “best practices” and cookie-cutter solutions. They set out to create something different: a growth business where data science, technology, and creativity work together to deliver results closer to the truth.

By 2017, their vision took shape with the creation of a proprietary marketing science suite designed to give brands a clear, evidence-led understanding of what advertising truly performs. This became the foundation of their strategy: blending data-backed precision with bold creative thinking and commercial sharpness.

Over the following years, they attracted a growing roster of ambitious clients across industries, from challenger brands looking to scale to established names seeking fresh growth strategies. Alongside paid media expertise, they built capabilities in influencer marketing, CRM, and conversion rate optimisation, creating a full ecosystem for brand growth.

In 2020, they integrated their technology into every client engagement, enabling teams to shift from reactive optimisation to proactive growth planning. This period saw significant new business wins, including several household-name brands in retail, travel, and lifestyle.

By 2022, the leadership team doubled down on innovation, introducing AI-powered tools to enhance campaign performance, not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a catalyst for insight, ideation, and execution. This approach has opened up new possibilities for media strategy, from creative concepting to real-time optimisation.

Today, the team operates as a tight-knit, London-based group with a global outlook. They combine entrepreneurial drive with a strong culture of well-being and collaboration, staying true to their values: make it happen, treat it like your own, grow together, and be brave. With a loyal client base, a distinctive technology advantage, and a leadership style built on empowerment, they continue to shape the next era of digital growth.

We are looking for a Head of Paid Media who can do more than run great campaigns. You will define and evolve the paid media proposition, lead a talented team, and shape the future of our offering across social, search, and programmatic. You will think commercially, act creatively, and inspire those around you to push beyond industry best practice into territory that is truly differentiated.

This is not just about managing media spend. It is about using AI tools to unlock new efficiencies, ideas, and insights. It is about spotting the moments where data and creativity collide to deliver exceptional results. And it is about building a high-performance culture where experimentation, learning, and growth are the norm.

You will own and evolve the paid media proposition, keeping it ahead of the market. You will lead strategy and execution across Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and beyond. You will mentor and grow a team of specialists, shaping them into industry-leading talent. You will collaborate with data teams to turn attribution insights into performance breakthroughs. You will partner with clients to ensure media is driving real business impact, not just clicks. And you will drive innovation by testing new formats, strategies, and platforms before anyone else.

We are looking for someone with more than 10 years of experience across paid social, search, and programmatic, ideally agency-side. You will have a deep technical understanding of media matched with creative instinct. You will have proven leadership experience with a track record of developing high-performing teams. You will bring a commercial mindset and know how to grow revenue for clients and your own team. You will have a curiosity for AI and emerging tech as tools for better, smarter work, and the ability to translate complex strategies into compelling, simple narratives.

You will be part of a culture that prizes bravery, ownership, and growth, both for the business and for yourself.
