G8/12 ET M - Paid Media Manager

Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later).

At Oceans, we believe that talent knows no boundaries. That’s why we connect the best and brightest professionals with career-defining opportunities that challenge, inspire, and accelerate their career growth. Our community, whom we call Divers, don’t just work—they dive deep, solve complex challenges, and make a real impact with global industry leaders. And in doing so, they don’t just support bold ideas—they expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers.

We’re hiring a Paid Media Manager to partner with a global marketing consultancy that helps ambitious brands modernize go-to-market strategies and drive measurable performance. This is a hands-on, execution-driven role: you’ll build, buy, and optimize omnichannel paid media programs (digital + traditional), translate data into clear recommendations, and help shape media strategy across client portfolios.

If you’re a data-first media buyer who loves turning complexity into repeatable performance, this role is for you.

Accountability

As a Paid Media Manager, your success will be measured by campaign performance against client KPIs (leads, traffic, sales), budget efficiency, and the clarity of your insights and recommendations. You’ll be responsible for end-to-end campaign execution, rigorous performance analysis, and translating media performance into commercial outcomes.

Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

Campaign Strategy & Execution

• Build, launch, and manage paid media campaigns across channels: Google (Search + Display + YouTube), Meta, LinkedIn, programmatic/DSPs, and traditional buys where relevant.
• Execute full funnel media plans - audience segmentation, creative briefs, tracking, budget allocation, and campaign setup.
• Maintain campaign hygiene: naming conventions, tracking tags (GTM), QA, and timely creative refreshes.
• Run A/B and multivariate tests to validate creative, audiences, and bid strategies.

Performance Reporting & Analysis

• Own weekly and monthly performance reporting and dashboards; deliver executive-ready summaries showing impact and next steps.
• Analyze platform and cross-channel data to identify trends, diagnose performance drops (fatigue, frequency, creative mismatch), and recommend optimizations.

Client Partnership & Thought Leadership

• Present performance and recommendations to clients with clarity and commercial focus; influence campaign strategy and budget decisions.
• Collaborate with strategy, creative, and analytics teams to align media activity with broader marketing goals.
• Stay current with industry trends and emerging tech, surface opportunities and thought leadership to internal and client teams.

Colleagues

You will report to the Digital Marketing team at the client’s global marketing consultancy, and work with other stakeholders in the organization as necessary to aid in business growth.

At Oceans, you’ll also receive guidance and support from our Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.

Skills & Qualifications

At Oceans, we believe in T-shaped individuals - those who bring deep expertise in one area, paired with broad curiosity and interests. As a Paid Media Manager, your vertical strength will be in paid search and paid social campaign strategy, optimisation, and performance analysis, while your horizontal range might include marketing analytics, conversion rate optimisation, or creative brief development.

To excel in this role, you should have:

• Language Skills: Professional fluency in English with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience: Over 4 years of hands-on experience in media buying, managing paid search (Google Ads, Bing) and paid social campaigns (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok).
• Platform Skills: Proficiency with ad platforms, analytics dashboards, and campaign management tools, such as Google Ads Editor, Facebook Business Manager, and Google Analytics.
• Data & Optimisation Skills: Strong analytical skills for interpreting campaign data, identifying trends, and implementing performance improvements.
• Tech Fluency: Comfortable with tools like Google Tag Manager, Looker Studio, and A/B testing platforms.
• Industry Familiarity: Experience in agency environments or performance marketing teams will be an advantage.

Diversity of experience is core to Oceans. You are expected to work inclusively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, ensuring that both personal and collective dignity are supported.

During the interview process, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your skills in the following areas:

• Paid Media Execution: How do you structure, launch, and scale campaigns with precision?
• Performance Insight: How do you interpret cross-channel data and recommend optimizations?
• Stakeholder Communication: How do you present performance to clients and secure buy-in?
• Tools & Techniques: What’s your comfort level with platform UIs, tag management, and reporting tools?
• Collaboration: How have you partnered with creative and analytics teams to improve outcomes?

Role Specifications

This is a remote role, where you will be expected to work a split shift with some overlap with our client’s time zone. You will, however, be expected to be present for in-person training programs during your first 90 days with us. During the offer process, we’ll share more information about our benefits and compensation philosophy, considering both market trends and individual factors.
