About the role

About

We're looking for a hands-on Paid Digital Media Specialist to join our growing team at Collab. This is not a reporting-only role. You'll be responsible for building, buying, and optimising campaigns across various platforms — with a clear focus on driving real business results (leads, CPL, and quality). You'll work on high-volume, performance-driven accounts where your decisions directly impact sales outcomes.

What You'll Do

  • Set up and manage campaigns across platforms, like:
    • Google Ads (Search, Dem Gen, PMax, etc.)
    • Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
  • Optimise campaigns daily to improve:
    • Cost per lead (CPL)
    • Lead quality
    • Conversion rates
  • Run structured A/B tests (creative, audiences, landing pages)
  • Work closely with the creative team to develop compelling ad copy, visuals, and other creative assets that align with campaign objectives
  • Monitor and adjust budgets based on performance
  • Analyse performance and extract clear, actionable insights
  • Work closely with strategy and client teams to improve results

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in marketing or equivalent
  • 2–5 years of experience in paid media (agency experience preferred)
  • Proven track record in managing lead generation campaigns
  • Strong working knowledge of Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager
  • Experience with conversion tracking (GTM, GA4, Meta CAPI)
  • Experience with social media platforms like TikTok, Microsoft Ads, Twitter, and LinkedIn
  • Campaign structure and optimisation best practices
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment

Bonus Points

  • Experience in automotive or high-volume lead gen industries
  • Understanding of lead quality vs volume dynamics
  • Ability to interpret data and communicate insights clearly

What You'll Get

  • Hybrid working setup (Milnerton-based office)
  • Exposure to major national brands and campaigns
  • Real growth opportunity in a scaling agency
  • A team that values performance, ownership, and smart thinking
