ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is a fast-growing UK performance marketing and lead generation business operating primarily in the B2B space. Unlike traditional agencies, the business owns and operates its own proprietary brands rather than working with external clients.

The business invests its own capital to build end-to-end demand-generation assets, purchases traffic directly across Meta and Google, and monetizes qualified leads through strategic conversion partners. There are no external clients, pitches, or scope creep.

The role extends beyond budget management and includes writing briefs, creating high-converting ad scripts, testing creative hooks and offers, optimizing landing page outcomes, and using modern AI tools within the advertising workflow.

You will manage campaigns end-to-end, connecting paid traffic to CRM data and offline conversion milestones.
