The role ⚡

📍 London (Hybrid) | 🤝 3 days in the office | 💰 Competitive Salary + Benefits

We’re looking for a dual-minded Paid Social marketer who bridges the gap between creative content execution and performance analysis. You intuitively understand what makes a social video hook scroll-stopping, but you're just as comfortable digging into CPA, conversion data, and A/B test results to optimise performance. You’ll make a real difference from day one, running with ideas to drive real-time growth.

• Oversee and optimise Paid Social campaigns on Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) and Organic Social content on LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube.

• Own the end-to-end creative process: building content calendars and briefs for different financial products, working with design and copy teams and external agencies to produce compelling video & static ad creative.

• Scope and run structured A/B tests to find most effective messaging and creative formats, and apply learnings across campaigns.

• Track, analyse and report on marketing performance, managing spend to ensure cost-effective, scalable results.

• Support cross-channel reporting and coordination with other digital channels like Paid Search, Display, and YouTube.

What we’re looking for 🌱

We value deep expertise, but a growth mindset and good energy are what really make our team click. We’re a group that chooses to lift each other up and think smart every day.

• Around 2–4 years' experience in performance marketing, with at least 1–2 years' hands-on experience with Meta Ads (TikTok, LinkedIn, and Reddit are a plus)

• Creative mindset: You’re experienced in developing video content, and understand the hooks, pacing, visual trends, and story structures that resonate on different social platforms.

• Analytical capability: Comfortable digging into performance "whys" using reporting tools (Tableau, Excel/Sheets) to track KPIs, optimize spend, and prove ROI.

• Strong project management: Able to run multiple concurrent briefs across product lines while navigating internal compliance processes, design teams, and external production talent.

• AI-driven approach: Experience using and experimenting with AI tools (for content ideation, workflow automation, or data analysis) to work smarter and innovate processes.

• Curious and eager to develop new skills, evaluate new marketing channels, and test new strategies.

Skills we’d love to see:

• Experience of FinTech/B2B marketing is a plus, but not required.

• Working knowledge of additional marketing platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, YouTube).

• An understanding of additional or emerging marketing channels

• Experience managing or coordinating with external creative/production talent (e.g. content creators, agencies).

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.

Why join us? 💜
