We’re looking for a Paid Media Executive to join our growing team at Zeal. If you love all things paid media, thrive on driving results, and want to work in a supportive, ambitious, and collaborative agency — this could be the perfect role for you.

As a key member of our Client Performance team, you’ll manage and optimise paid campaigns across platforms including Meta, TikTok, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and streaming media.

• Helping manage budgets, spends, bids and optimisations across multiple platforms.
• Analysing data and creating thoughtful, actionable reports for client presentations and meetings.
• Running audits, prospective client analysis, and supporting new business pitches.
• Building relationships with clients — being proactive, approachable, and results-driven.
• Collaborating with the wider Zeal team to deliver integrated, joined-up campaigns.
• Tracking activity using a variety of tools and reports and keeping on top of industry trends.

What we’re looking for

• 1+ years’ experience managing paid media accounts (we’re especially keen on paid social).
• A working knowledge of Google Ads and Meta Ads platforms.
• Experience working with client budgets and delivering against multiple KPIs.
• Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail.
• Ability to adapt quickly, make smart decisions, and deliver results.
• Excellent communication skills, able to build great relationships with both colleagues and clients.
• Hands-on, proactive approach with a real understanding of client goals and how to achieve them.
• A good grasp of the wider digital marketing industry and performance marketing landscape.
