About Phorest

Phorest is more than just a software provider; we are on a mission to help our customers build stronger, more resilient businesses and to support the long-term growth of the professional salon, spa, and medical aesthetics industries.

As we continue to scale, we are looking for ambitious, high-performing individuals who want to play a meaningful role in our next phase of growth. With a strategic focus on integrated payment solutions and the premium salon and medi-aesthetic markets, this is an opportunity to make a real impact on a global industry while helping thousands of businesses thrive.

The Opportunity

As a Paid Media Specialist, you will be the hands-on engine behind our global paid media strategy. While this role sits within the global Sales & Marketing team, you will work in close day-to-day collaboration with the North America regional team, while remaining flexible to support other regions.

Your mission is to play a pivotal role in accelerating Phorest’s next phase of growth. Joining a fast-growing, dynamic company, you will create, execute, and optimise high-impact digital acquisition campaigns across key channels such as Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok & StackAdapt to drive momentum across hair, beauty, and medical aesthetics.

This is a key hire that we expect to make a meaningful contribution to our future growth. You’ll achieve this by creating, executing, and continually optimising campaigns across bidding, targeting, and performance analysis, using data-driven insights to maximise ROI and help deliver Phorest’s ambitious growth objectives.

What You'll Do

• Lead the day-to-day monitoring, optimisation, and performance of multi-channel PPC and Paid Social campaigns to achieve lead volume and CPA targets.

• Build and scale dedicated performance marketing campaigns for our fast-growing med spa segment, developing new acquisition strategies and campaign structures to drive growth in this high-potential market.

• Manage campaign budgets and implement effective bidding strategies across multiple markets and geographies to maximise lead volume, efficiency, and ROI.

• Design and execute rigorous tests across ad copy, creative, audiences, and landing pages to continuously improve performance.

• Conduct research and audience analysis to reach our core premium salon and med spa markets.

• Stay ahead of algorithm changes, new ad formats, and platform policy updates to maintain and improve performance.

• Prepare and present weekly and monthly reports that clearly explain performance against targets, key drivers, recommended actions, and expected outcomes.

• Proactively identify underperformance and recommend recovery plans, including budget reallocations, testing opportunities, and cross-functional improvements.

• Work directly with regional marketing leads to review performance, communicate budget pacing, and provide proactive insights to support decision-making.

• Partner with Content, Creative, Web, and Sales teams to ensure messaging, landing pages, and campaign assets are optimised for conversion.

Who You Are

• You have 3+ years of experience managing large-scale paid media accounts with a focus on B2B lead generation.

• You possess expert hands-on proficiency in Google Ads, YouTube, and Paid Social platforms (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn), along with experience in channels such as Reddit, Capterra, and StackAdapt.

• You are highly skilled in web analytics (Google Analytics) with a strong focus on attribution and data accuracy.

• You have a strong analytical mindset and can turn performance data into actionable insights and recommendations.

• You are a strong communicator who can translate complex data into clear, concise, action-oriented recommendations for senior stakeholders.

• You demonstrate commercial ownership and take a proactive approach to solving performance issues and identifying growth opportunities.

• You can work autonomously in complex environments, troubleshoot tracking issues, and optimise campaigns under performance pressure.

• You are eager to learn new platforms and continuously adapt strategies based on performance data.

• You are interested in AI-driven ways of working and are willing to adopt new technologies; familiarity with Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools is preferred.
