  • Develop and implement a rigorous A/B testing plan to optimise key performance indicators.
  • Work closely with analytics and measurement teams to assess PPC's impact and enhance their overall strategy.

Your background:

  • Experience managing large-scale PPC budgets – either in house or agency side
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to analyse data, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multiple teams.
  • Strong knowledge of GA4, with the ability to review performance and derive insights.
  • Experience with SA360 is beneficial but not essential.

Work with a market-leading international consumer business in an exciting period of growth, being part of a high-performing marketing team that genuinely values innovation and creativity! This role will offer you hands on execution as well as strategic influence, leading large-scale campaigns with industry leading partners… what are you waiting for? Apply now!
