Job Description

Paid Performance Manager Manchester City Centre £40,000 DOE Hybrid Working

Looking to step into a senior paid role where strategy actually matters?

Want to own performance across Meta, shape the direction of paid media, and build something rather than just execute tickets?

This could be a strong next move.

The Business:

This Manchester City Centre based marketing agency specialises in working with professional service brands within a regulated, people focused sector. The agency partners closely with clients who value trust, credibility, and commercially driven digital performance.

You'll be joining a close knit, collaborative team where paid media plays a critical role in client growth. The business is scaling steadily and investing heavily in its performance offering, creating genuine opportunity for progression and influence.

This is an agency that values thinking, testing, and long term strategy over quick wins.

The Role:

As Paid Performance Manager, you'll take ownership of paid media strategy and delivery across a portfolio of clients, with a strong focus on Meta Ads and a supporting understanding of Google Ads.

This role goes beyond campaign setup. You'll be responsible for planning holistic performance strategies, improving efficiency and results, and helping elevate the agency's paid offering overall.

You'll also play a key role in shaping the future of the paid media function, with scope to grow and lead the department as the agency continues to expand.

About You:

- Strong experience managing and scaling Meta Ads campaigns
- Solid understanding of paid media strategy, not just execution
- Experience delivering measurable results from your own strategies
- Comfortable owning accounts and performance outcomes end to end
- Agency background preferred, but open to strong client side experience
- Confident working autonomously while collaborating with wider teams
- Commercially minded with a testing and optimisation mindset
- Interest in helping build and grow a paid media function

The Package:

- Salary circa £40,000 DOE + Bonus
- Hybrid working model
- Manchester City Centre office
- Free gym membership and health/wellbeing programme
- Supportive, close-knit agency environment
