• Create and regularly update KPI reports on Paid Search activities, providing weekly, monthly, and quarterly performance updates to the Customer Acquisition Manager.
• Collaborate with the Promotions, CRM, and BI teams to identify, implement, and measure promotional opportunities across PPC.
• Work closely with design and content teams to ensure promotional campaign initiatives convert effectively within your channels (e.g., Performance Max).
• Ensure the protection of the client’s brand by conducting due diligence and ensuring compliance with all promotional PPC initiatives.
• Adhere to industry advertising standards, ASA CAP codes, and manage ongoing audits and quality assurance of creatives, copy, media placements, and promotions across live campaigns.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with advertising platforms such as Google and Microsoft Ads to stay updated on new initiatives, technologies, and strategies.
• Collaborate with the UX team to implement A/B and multivariate testing strategies for continuous performance and ROI improvement.
• Work closely with the Finance team to produce detailed cost reports and ensure all promotional activities stay within budget.

Who are we looking for?

• Experience in Paid Search is essential, with knowledge of broader Paid Media channels such as Paid Social and Display considered a valuable asset.
• Strong understanding of effective marketing campaign principles, with the ability to analyse performance and communicate results to the wider business.
• Proven experience in managing budgets and consistently demonstrating ROAS.
• Expertise in managing digital campaigns across Paid Search platforms (e.g., Google and Microsoft Ads).
• Experience in both direct and programmatic media buying is desirable.
• Proficiency in using third-party tracking tools, such as Google Analytics, with the ability to interpret data and make informed, data-driven decisions.
• Familiarity with attribution models and the ability to extract actionable insights from multi-touch, data-driven attribution tools.
• Understanding of digital advertising legislation, including CAP and ASA guidelines.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• A passion for sports or horse racing, or experience within the online gambling industry, is an advantage.
