Growth & Culture Buyer: paid social, paid search & emerging channels - with an agency that’s approaching media buying differently and has an incredible client roster to prove it.
Location – London/Hybrid (office culture is important)
Salary – DOE
The role
Most media buying jobs go through the motions of a client you budget to bidding dashboard. This one hands you a blank page, a machine-learning toolkit, and permission to ignore the playbook.
This is a heavily creative growth marketing agency built on one belief: an ad nobody remembers is just expensive wallpaper. This agency sees media buying and the creative iterations that fill those slots as a true craft. A craft currently lost to CTR, CTA, ROAS and any other acronym drowning the industry. The premise is simple: understand where your audience truly spends their time and create beautiful content that appeals to the targeted audience. The results will follow.
While the rest of the industry races to optimise its way into invisibility, this agency uses machine learning to find the audiences that matter, then spends its energy on content people actually want to see.
What they need now is a media buyer who thinks like a strategist and a culture-watcher in equal measure - someone who'll fight for the story as hard as they fight for the CPA.
What You'll Bring to the Table
Experience & Background
-
Prior experience as a media buyer or in a similar paid social/paid search role
- Solid grip on media analytics tools and the end-to-end media buying process
- Comfortable managing budgets against ROI targets without losing sight of the bigger picture (the brand mission)
Mindset & Approach
-
A critical thinker who'll question "best practice" rather than default to it
- A natural negotiator and relationship-builder - with clients, vendors and the creative team alike
- Genuinely curious about culture and platforms, not just performance metrics
- Bring a point of view on why most performance marketing is dull, and ideas for what to do instead
- Hands-on experience with social commerce, TikTok Shop, creator/ambassador programmes or AI-driven media tools
- A track record of choosing story over spreadsheet at least once, and getting the results to prove it
- Multilingual or multi-market buying experience
