Mid-level · Now hiring
PPC & Social Media Executive
A mid-level paid media role at HDC Consultancy. You run live Google, Meta and Microsoft campaigns plus organic social for client accounts, with a senior specialist reviewing your work. Remote, UK preferred, open worldwide.
Five minutes. A person reads every one.
The role
For someone a year or two into paid media who wants to get good at it. You run live campaigns from your first month and a senior specialist checks your work and tells you why. If you have built campaigns before and want more ownership, this is the step up.
Brand new to marketing? Start with the Digital Marketing Assistant role. Already senior with a full portfolio? See Paid Ads Specialist.
You work across paid search, paid social and organic. Researching audiences and keywords. Building and launching on Google, Meta and Microsoft. Writing the copy, producing the creatives, then turning the numbers into a report that says something useful.
None of it is theoretical. These are live budgets, so you see the consequence of a decision within days. That is the fastest way to learn this. We work remotely and async on Teams, with written briefs, a high bar, and someone senior over your shoulder until you do not need one.
What you'll do
- 1 Research audiences, competitors and keywords, and turn that into a campaign plan
- 2 Help build and launch paid campaigns across Google, Meta and Microsoft Ads
- 3 Write ad copy in clear, persuasive British English, and test variations
- 4 Produce ad creatives and social graphics from brand templates
- 5 Plan and schedule organic social content that supports the paid work
- 6 Check conversion tracking actually fires, and flag it fast when it does not
- 7 Pull performance data into clear client reports with a view on what to do next
- 8 Keep campaign admin tidy: naming conventions, budgets, negatives and audiences
What we need from you
The essentials. If you have these, apply.
- Fluent English, spoken and written. You will write client copy and join client calls
- A confident communicator who asks questions early rather than guessing
- A commercial eye. You judge an ad on whether it works, before whether it looks good
- IT proficient and quick to pick up new platforms and tools
- Reliable to deadlines. We run to client timelines and you own yours
- Some hands-on paid ads or social: a placement, a job, a side project, a business you helped out
- The judgement to say "I do not know yet" and then go and find out
Helpful, but not required
Missing all of these? Apply anyway. None of it is a dealbreaker.
- A degree in marketing, business, communications or similar
- Google Ads, Meta Blueprint or an analytics certification
- Campaigns you have run yourself. Small or personal ones count, so show us
- Design skills in Canva, Figma or the Adobe suite
- Familiarity with GA4, Looker Studio or spreadsheets beyond the basics
- Any experience marketing local or service businesses
What good looks like
How we'll know it's going well, so you know what you're measured on.
- In month one you are building campaigns to our standard with light corrections
- By month three you own the day-to-day on a set of accounts and spot problems before we do
- Your ad copy and creatives get tested, iterated and beat the control
- Clients read your reports and understand exactly what happened and what is next
- You grow into the specialist who trains the next person into this seat
