Senior Specialist, Paid Search

Are you ready to act as a key strategic advisor for Paid Search for leading eCommerce brands? Does managing campaigns, measuring impact, and shaping client strategy sound like your ideal role? As our new Senior Specialist, you’ll be an integral part of the s360 UK Paid Search team, contributing to our evolving Paid Search product and collaborating to bring big thinking to life while staying embedded in the day-to-day detail that drives real performance.

Lead strategic campaigns and deliver measurable impact

We're looking for a Senior Paid Search Specialist who is ready to drive impact for clients, and combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. To give you an idea of where you'll spend your time each month, the role is made up of five key pillars:

• Strategy & Ownership: Own the end-to-end Paid Search strategy for 5–6 high-growth eCommerce brands, with full accountability for performance targets and roadmap execution. Translate business goals into actionable paid search plans, identify key growth levers, and lead the paid search agenda in client strategy meetings and commercial initiatives.

• Execution: Own the day-to-day performance and implementation for 2–3 client accounts, including campaign structure, ad copy, budget allocation, testing frameworks, quality assurance, and pacing accuracy.

• Reporting: Own the full reporting narrative by transforming complex data from Looker Studio and GA4 into clear, actionable insights that explain the “why” behind performance. Lead weekly insights, monthly reporting, and quarterly deep dives for half of your clients, while taking an advisory and quality-shaping role on reporting deliverables for the remaining accounts.

• Paid Team Collaboration: Partner with the Head of Paid Search to execute the UK vision and product roadmap. Mentor and support Specialists and Senior Specialists, driving knowledge sharing, challenging thinking, and elevating the overall quality of delivery across the team.

There is a view for this role to become a Team Lead of Paid Search, if it’s within the candidates interest and skill set.
