Job purpose, tasks and responsibilities

As our Paid Media Executive, you'll be supporting the day-to-day execution and optimisation of paid media campaigns across multiple Wilmington brands. You'll work closely with our Paid Media Manager to keep accounts running smoothly, accurately reported, and continuously improving, building your expertise across search, social, and paid channels in both B2B and B2C, regulated environments.

You'll be responsible for:

• Building, launching and optimising paid media campaigns across a range of channels, including Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn and Meta.
• Monitoring campaign performance, carrying out day-to-day account optimisation and identifying opportunities to improve results.

• Previous paid media/ PPC experience in an agency environment.
• Hands-on experience managing and optimising campaigns across at least two major advertising platforms, such as Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn Ads or Meta Ads.
