The Role
We are looking for a curious, data-savvy Performance Marketing Executive to join our Marketing team and support our paid media activity across the board. Reporting to the Paid Strategy Manager, you'll assist the wider Paid function with the hands-on activation, day-to-day optimisation, admin, planning, reporting and ad hoc analysis that keeps Paid Search, Paid Social and Affiliates running smoothly.
The one area you'll directly own is our relationship with our affiliate agency, who manage our activity on the Awin network — taking day-to-day responsibility for the agency relationship, briefs and routine asks under the guidance of the Paid Strategy Manager.
This is a development role — you'll get hands-on exposure across all of our paid channels and be actively supported in growing into a well-rounded performance marketer. The ideal candidate has 1-2 years' platform experience (ideally including affiliates), is genuinely comfortable in the data, and is hungry to take on more responsibility as they grow. A high standard of numerical accuracy, an instinct for what the data is telling you, and the ability to turn ad hoc analysis around quickly are all essential.
You’ll be hands-on with both PPC & Paid Social and self-sufficient, with the analytical rigour to defend every decision with data and the strategic instinct to see the bigger picture.
Paid media activation & planning support
- Campaign activation & optimisation: Support the Paid Strategy Manager on the hands-on activation and day-to-day optimisation of campaigns across Paid Search and Paid Social — primarily Meta, Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
- Campaign administration: Provide hands-on administrative support across all paid channels — assisting on campaign & ad builds, QA, billing reconciliation, naming convention hygiene and general platform housekeeping.
- Planning support: Support the Paid Strategy Manager and Creative Social Strategy Manager on planning — briefing assets, building media plans, prepping launch checklists and tracking deliverables across campaigns.
- Cross-channel exposure: Get hands-on across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads Manager, TikTok, Pinterest and Awin — building working competence across the full paid stack.
Affiliate management
- Agency relationship: Take day-to-day responsibility for our relationship with our affiliate agency, who manage our activity on the Awin network — managing comms, briefs, performance reviews and routine asks, and acting as the day-to-day point of contact internally under the guidance of the Paid Strategy Manager.
Programme support: Work closely with the agency on day-to-day management of our affiliate programme on Awin — reviewing publisher activity, supporting on new partner approvals, processing commissions and helping surface opportunities for growth.
-
Reporting & analysis support
- Reporting cadence: Assist the Paid Strategy Manager in pulling together standard performance reports across Paid Search, Paid Social and Affiliates — making sure the wider Marketing team have the numbers they need, when they need them.
- Ad hoc analysis: Support the team on ad hoc analysis requests — diving into platform data, Google Analytics, Looker and our wider data stack to surface clear, decision-useful answers and lift analysis work off the rest of the team.
- Data quality & accuracy: Help maintain accurate, consistent reporting frameworks, flagging discrepancies and supporting continuous improvement in how we surface paid performance.
Learning & development
- Cross-training: Work closely with the Paid Strategy Manager (and where relevant the Creative Social Strategy Manager) to build working knowledge of strategy, optimisation and creative across all paid channels.
- Growing your remit: Take on increasing involvement in channels, tests and reporting workstreams as your experience and confidence grow.
Technical skills:
- 1-2 years' hands-on experience in performance marketing, ideally in-house or agency-side within eCommerce or a marketplace environment
- Working experience of one or more paid platforms — Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads Manager, TikTok, Pinterest, Awin — with hands-on affiliate experience on Awin (or a comparable network) strongly preferred
- Strong, demonstrable data skills — proficiency in Google Sheets is essential; experience with Google Analytics, Looker or other BI tools strongly preferred
- Comfortable diving into large datasets and turning ad hoc analysis around quickly and accurately
- A high standard of accuracy and attention to detail when working with numbers, platform data and reporting
- Solid understanding of core performance marketing metrics (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CPC, AOV etc.) and how they connect across the funnel
- Quick to pick up new platforms, reporting tools and ways of working
Human skills:
- Ability to demonstrate knowledge and passion for the NOTHS brand
- Genuinely curious — you actively want to understand how things work and aren't afraid to ask why
- A self-starter who can manage your own time across competing requests and prioritise effectively
- Highly organised, with a high tolerance for the detail and process that comes with running performance marketing operations
- A confident communicator, comfortable working with agency partners and internal stakeholders alike
- Eager to learn and grow — this is a development role and we want someone hungry for the next step
- A team player who can support the wider Paid function and step in where needed
- You have an understanding of our position as a marketplace and how our work directly affects the businesses that make up our unique company
