Skills

Role Description

At Seodium, performance matters. We’re an SEO-first digital agency, and paid media plays a crucial role in supporting growth, testing opportunities, and accelerating results for our clients.

We’re looking for a Paid Media Manager to take ownership of performance-led paid campaigns across search and paid social. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys optimisation, accountability, and working closely with clients to drive measurable ROI.

As our Paid Media Manager, you’ll be responsible for planning, executing, and optimising paid media campaigns across Google Ads and supporting paid social platforms. You’ll have clear ownership of performance, budgets, and reporting, while collaborating with SEO and content teams to ensure paid activity aligns with wider marketing goals.

This role suits someone with strong fundamentals in paid media who wants autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to shape paid strategy within a growing agency.

You won’t be expected to be an expert in every platform; we value strong core skills, curiosity, and commercial thinking.
