Job Type: Full-time
Work Location: In person
Reports to: Digital Marketing Lead / Head of Marketing
About the Role
We are hiring a Senior Google Ads / PPC Specialist to manage and scale high-performing lead generation campaigns.
This is not an entry-level role. We need someone who can take ownership of Google Ads performance from start to finish, including strategy, campaign structure, keyword planning, bidding, optimisation, conversion tracking, reporting, and scaling.
The role is primarily focused on lead generation, so the successful candidate must understand how to generate high-quality leads at a profitable CPA. Experience in ecommerce is highly preferred, but it is not the main focus of the role. Ecommerce experience is valuable because it often shows strong commercial discipline, conversion tracking knowledge, and the ability to scale campaigns profitably.
Our business is UK-facing, so excellent written and spoken English is essential. The successful candidate must be able to communicate clearly with UK-based teams, write professional ad copy, prepare clear reports, and understand the importance of accuracy in customer-facing marketing.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, build, manage, and optimise Google Ads campaigns focused on lead generation.
- Manage campaigns across Google Search, Performance Max, Display, YouTube, remarketing, and Microsoft/Bing Ads where required.
- Own campaign structure, keyword strategy, match types, negative keyword lists, audience targeting, and bidding strategy.
- Monitor and optimise performance across CPA, CPC, conversion rate, lead volume, lead quality, and wasted spend.
- Analyse search term reports and continuously refine targeting to improve efficiency.
- Write clear, compelling ad copy aligned with campaign objectives and landing pages.
- Run A/B tests on ad copy, landing pages, creative angles, and bidding strategies.
- Work with design, development, and content teams to improve landing page performance.
- Set up, monitor, and troubleshoot conversion tracking using Google Tag Manager, GA4, enhanced conversions, and other relevant tools.
- Analyse auction insights, competitor activity, campaign trends, and performance changes.
- Prepare weekly and monthly reports with clear insights, actions taken, results achieved, and recommendations.
- Stay up to date with Google Ads updates, Performance Max changes, Smart Bidding, AI-based campaign features, and wider PPC best practice.
Requirements
- Minimum 5+ years of hands-on Google Ads experience.
- Proven experience managing successful lead generation campaigns.
- Experience managing significant ad budgets, ideally $10k–$100k+ per month or equivalent.
- Strong knowledge of Google Search, Performance Max, Display, YouTube, and remarketing campaigns.
- Advanced understanding of keyword research, match types, negative keywords, bidding strategies, and campaign structure.
- Strong experience with GA4, Google Tag Manager, conversion tracking, and tracking troubleshooting.
- Ability to analyse campaign data and turn it into practical decisions, not just reports.
- Experience improving CPA, lead volume, lead quality, conversion rates, and wasted spend.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Ability to write clear ad copy and communicate professionally with UK-based stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently and take full ownership of campaign performance.
Highly Preferred
- Experience working on UK or European campaigns.
- Ecommerce Google Ads experience.
- Experience with Google Shopping, Shopify, Google Merchant Centre, or product-feed campaigns.
- Experience with Microsoft/Bing Ads.
- Experience with Meta Ads would be useful but is not essential.
- Experience working in regulated or compliance-sensitive sectors such as finance, legal, insurance, claims, debt solutions, healthcare, or similar.
- Experience in an agency or managing multiple accounts.
- CRO and landing page optimisation experience.
- Looker Studio or similar reporting dashboard experience.
- Google Ads certification.
Important Note on English and Communication
As this role supports a UK-facing business, excellent English is essential.
The successful candidate must be able to:
- communicate clearly with UK-based teams
- write accurate and professional ad copy
- produce clear campaign reports
- explain performance issues and recommendations
- understand the tone required for customer-facing marketing
- pay close attention to wording, accuracy, and compliance-sensitive messaging
The role does not require FCA qualifications. However, because some campaigns may operate in regulated or compliance-sensitive sectors, the candidate must have strong attention to detail and the ability to write carefully and professionally.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who is strategic, analytical, commercially aware, and confident managing campaigns at scale.
The right person will not simply “run ads”. They will understand how to:
- reduce wasted spend
- improve lead quality
- lower CPA
- scale campaigns responsibly
- diagnose performance drops
- improve tracking accuracy
- test new campaign angles
- improve landing page performance
- explain what is happening and what should be done next
