About the role
We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Executive with hands-on Google Ads and Meta Ads experience to join Reach Digital.
You’ll help our clients generate enquiries, sales and sustainable growth through paid advertising, alongside opportunities to contribute to wider digital marketing campaigns.
Paid media will be your main responsibility. You should be comfortable building campaigns, managing budgets and using performance data to decide what to improve next. You might already work in an agency, or manage paid advertising as part of a broader in-house marketing role.
You’ll work closely with our directors, content specialists, designers and developers, connecting campaign activity with the websites, messaging and customer journeys that help it perform.
What you’ll be doing
- Planning, building and managing Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns across a range of client accounts.
- Managing budgets and monitoring spend to keep campaigns aligned with agreed priorities.
- Reviewing search terms, targeting, bids, ad copy and campaign structure to improve performance.
- Managing campaigns across Meta and Microsoft Ads where relevant, with scope to develop your experience across these platforms.
- Checking conversion tracking and working with the team to resolve measurement issues.
- Identifying opportunities to improve landing pages, creative and messaging.
- Producing clear performance reports that explain results, actions taken and next steps.
- Taking part in client calls, discussing performance and making practical recommendations.
- Contributing to wider marketing activity where your skills and client needs align.
What we’re looking for
You’ll need:
- Practical experience personally building and managing Google Ads campaigns.
- An understanding of campaign structure, keyword research, bidding, budgets and conversion tracking.
- The ability to interpret results against business objectives, including lead quality, cost per enquiry or sales performance.
- Confidence explaining campaign performance in plain English.
- Good organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities across accounts.
- A willingness to test ideas, investigate problems and take responsibility for your work.
Your experience should include direct campaign management, rather than solely coordinating an external agency. You don’t need to have held a PPC-specific job title.
Experience that would be useful
Experience with Meta Ads and Google Analytics would be an advantage, alongside an interest in developing your wider digital marketing skills.
Why join Reach Digital?
You’ll join a team spanning strategy, content, design and development, with the opportunity to see how your campaigns contribute to wider client growth.
There’s room to bring ideas, influence campaign decisions and develop your skills across digital marketing. You’ll work with the directors on priorities and strategy, while taking responsibility for the day-to-day management and improvement of your campaigns.
How to apply
Please send your CV and a short introduction outlining your paid media experience.
Include an example of a campaign you personally managed: what it was trying to achieve, what you were responsible for and what you improved. We’re interested in how you approach the work, and you’re welcome to anonymise client or business details.
