A high-growth, technology-led consumer services business is looking for a Paid Social Manager to play a pivotal role in accelerating its ambitious growth plans across the UK and Europe. Backed by record-breaking investment and committed to sustainability, the business is transforming everyday logistics through innovative technology and a mission to make moving miles better — and more carbon-conscious.

With over 8 million customers served and a proudly carbon-neutral service that has saved over 8,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, this is a unique opportunity to join a fast-moving, purpose-driven company at an exciting stage of scale-up.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong performance marketing background, a creative mindset, and the curiosity to continually test, learn and optimise across fast-changing paid social platforms.

The Role

Sitting within the Growth Marketing team and reporting to the Head of Growth, the Paid Social Manager will take full ownership of the business’s paid social strategy—from ideation and execution to optimisation and insight. You’ll work closely with creative, data and brand teams to shape best-in-class campaigns that balance performance with impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and execution of high-impact paid social campaigns across core platforms (e.g. Meta, TikTok).
  • Own budget planning, campaign setup, performance tracking, and day-to-day optimisation.
  • Build and deliver a structured testing roadmap—across creative, copy, audience targeting, and placements.
  • Partner with creative teams and content creators to develop thumb-stopping assets tailored to each platform.
  • Produce regular performance reports, providing insight-led recommendations that feed into the wider marketing strategy.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure accurate tracking, attribution and aligned messaging.
  • Explore emerging social platforms, tools, and ad formats to keep the business at the forefront of innovation.
  • Build strong relationships with platform partners and stay ahead of algorithm updates, trends, and best practices.

What They’re Looking For

  • Proven experience managing paid social at scale—ideally within a high-growth consumer or tech-led business.
  • A deep understanding of performance marketing metrics and how to translate insights into action.
  • A creative thinker with a good eye for what drives attention and conversion across different social platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with tools like Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, Google Analytics, and Tableau.
  • Highly organised, data-literate, and motivated to test, learn, and improve.
  • A strong collaborator who thrives in cross-functional environments and enjoys contributing to team success.
  • A self-starter who’s comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build from the ground up.
  • Must be able to commute to the London office at least 3 days per week.
  • Please note: applicants must have the right to work in the UK as visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary reflective of your experience and impact
  • 25 days holiday + public holidays + Christmas Eve off + long service holiday increases (up to 30 days)
  • In-house gym, Vitality health cover and enhanced sick pay
  • People’s Pension scheme (5% employee, 3% employer contributions)
  • Enhanced maternity leave
  • Cycle-to-work scheme, electric vehicle scheme and excellent transport links
  • Free daily breakfast and in-house barista coffee

  • Be part of an industry-changing, sustainability-focused tech brand

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where he ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
