Social Media specialist (Marketing)

PAID MEDIA SPECIALIST / PPC MANAGER – OLDHAM 

£30,000 – £38,000
Oldham
12-Month Fixed Term Contract
 Supporting a busy, fast-growing business

This is not a “boost a post and hope for the best” role.

This is for someone who:
understands performance marketing
knows how to turn clicks into revenue
and can actually see what’s working… and scale it

If you live in Meta Ads, Google Ads, and dashboards that tell real stories… keep reading.

THE ROLE

You’ll be owning paid media across multiple channels — driving traffic, leads, and sales across a portfolio of brands.

This is hands-on, data-driven, and results-focused.

Day to day, you’ll be:

 Paid Social (Meta & LinkedIn)

 Planning and running campaigns across Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn
Building, testing, and optimising ads to drive leads and conversions
Dialling in audiences, creatives, and messaging to improve performance
Monitoring CTR, CPC, ROAS and making real-time improvements

Google Ads / PPC

 Managing campaigns across Search, Display, PMax & Video
Keyword research, ad group structure, and campaign builds
Writing ad copy that actually converts (not just fills space)
Monitoring performance and optimising bids, targeting, and spend
 Using GA4, tracking tools, and data to guide decisions

 E-Commerce PPC (Amazon & eBay)

 Managing marketplace campaigns to drive product visibility and sales
Optimising keywords, bids, and budgets
 Monitoring ACoS, ROAS, and performance metrics 

Scaling what works, cutting what doesn’t

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

 Strong experience across Paid Social and Google Ads
Comfortable working with data, analytics, and performance metrics
Experience with GA4, GTM, and conversion tracking
Understanding of e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, eBay ideal)
Ability to test, learn, and optimise campaigns continuously
 Commercial mindset — you care about results, not just activity

WHY THIS ROLE?

Because this isn’t a boxed-in marketing job.

You’ll be:

• Trusted to run campaigns properly
• Given the autonomy to make decisions
• Working in a role where performance actually matters
• Able to make a visible impact on revenue
• If you’re the kind of person who:
  checks performance before your morning coffee
  gets a buzz from improving ROAS
   and loves turning data into decisions

You’ll do very well here.
