Lead high-impact paid media strategy in a growing agency, shape client outcomes, and step into a role with real influence, variety, and room to grow.

A leading digital agency is on the lookout for a seasoned Paid Media Account Director to take ownership of client strategy, lead high-impact campaigns, and elevate performance across Search, Social, and Programmatic. This role suits someone who thrives in a strategic leadership seat while staying close enough to the craft to ensure top-tier execution.

You’ll work across a mix of clients spanning ecommerce, services, and purpose-driven organisations — all with the common goal of driving measurable growth through smart, data-led media buying.

The Role

You’ll be the senior strategic partner across a portfolio of accounts, guiding clients, shaping media strategy, and ensuring campaigns deliver real business outcomes. Your expertise across Google Ads, Meta, and programmatic platforms will anchor the performance output, with bonus points for familiarity with The Trade Desk.

This role combines leadership, client partnership, and performance marketing in equal measure.

  • Act as the senior client lead, managing relationships and guiding strategic direction

  • Oversee campaign builds, optimisation, pacing and performance analysis

  • Turn client goals into actionable media plans with clear KPIs

  • Collaborate closely with internal specialists and external technology partners

  • Deliver reporting, insights and future-focused recommendations

  • Stay across industry trends to identify new opportunities

  • Support new business activity and lead elements of pitch strategy

Requirements

  • 6–7+ years in paid media, ideally within an agency or high-growth environment

  • Strong hands-on experience across Search and Social

  • Solid understanding of Programmatic; exposure to The Trade Desk is highly regarded

  • Proven account leadership capability with a track record of hitting performance targets

  • Analytical mindset with experience using GA4, Looker Studio or similar tools

  • Confident communicator — in client calls, presentations, and written strategy

  • Experience mentoring juniors and managing workflow across teams

What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses

  • Hybrid working environment

  • Supportive, growth-led team culture

  • Access to industry-leading tools and development opportunities

  • A chance to step into a senior role with real influence as the agency continues to scale
