Head of Paid Media
Location: East Yorkshire (Hybrid)
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000

We're hiring a Head of Paid Media for a high-growth digital agency that partners with ambitious eCommerce brands across the UK and beyond.
This is a senior leadership role, both strategic and operational - ideal for someone who can take full ownership of a high-performing paid media function, mentor a growing team, and deliver measurable results across search and social.

Our client will consider experienced Senior Paid Media Managers ready to step up into a Head of Paid Media position, or proven leaders already operating at this level. The agency is thriving, and they hire with long-term growth in mind - so there's a clear trajectory for the right candidate.

What you'll be doing as Head of Paid Media:
  • Leading the day-to-day operations of the paid media team (PPC and Paid Social)
  • Owning internal processes - campaign planning, execution, reporting and QA
  • Driving media strategy and delivery across Google Ads, Meta, SA360, LinkedIn and more
  • Acting as the strategic lead for a portfolio of client accounts, managing key relationships
  • Mentoring and developing team members to ensure consistent delivery quality with responsibility for shaping team structure and future hires
  • Using data and platform insights (GA4, Looker Studio etc.) to drive optimisation and innovation
  • Collaborating with content, design and SEO teams to deliver integrated performance
  • Contributing to wider agency strategy and aligning paid activity with commercial goals
What you'll bring:
  • 5+ years' experience in a paid media role, ideally within an agency environment
  • Proven track record managing campaigns across paid search and social
  • Strong leadership credentials - whether you're currently a Head of Paid Media or a Senior Paid Media Manager ready to take the next step.
  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders, both internally and client-side
  • A drive to improve processes, elevate team capability and deliver meaningful impact
What's on offer:
  • A high-impact Head of Paid Media opportunity with autonomy and influence within a growing performance agency
  • Competitive salary package: £50,000 - £60,000 DOE
  • Flexible/hybrid working - East Yorkshire base
  • Compelling benefits suite (too long for this advert)
  • The chance to shape a high-performing team and make your mark
  • Supportive culture with ongoing room for development and progression
If you're ready to step into a Head of Paid Media role - or looking to lead paid strategy at a thriving, agile agency - we'd love to hear from you.
