Senior PPC Executive

We're working with a leading integrated marketing agency looking for an experienced PPC specialist to provide immediate freelance support across a portfolio of established client accounts. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who combines strong technical paid search expertise with the confidence to manage client relationships, contribute to strategy and take genuine ownership of campaign performance.

You'll be joining an established media operation, working alongside an experienced team during an initial handover period, with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as the contract progresses. You'll be responsible for the hands-on management, optimisation and development of PPC campaigns across several high-profile accounts, spanning sectors including property, sport and entertainment.

Working closely with the wider media and creative teams, you'll help ensure campaigns are performing effectively while providing clients with the insight, recommendations and confidence they need.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building, managing and optimising PPC campaigns across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads
• Managing multiple accounts, budgets and campaign objectives
• Identifying opportunities to improve performance and maximise return on investment
• Providing strategic input, campaign recommendations and forward planning
• Communicating directly with clients, presenting results and discussing performance
• Supporting reporting, account reviews and ongoing campaign development
• Collaborating with wider media, creative and account management teams

You'll already have substantial hands-on PPC experience, ideally gained within a marketing, digital or media agency, and be comfortable taking responsibility for campaigns without needing significant supervision.

We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:

• Advanced knowledge of Google Ads and strong familiarity with Microsoft Ads
• Proven experience managing and optimising PPC campaigns across multiple accounts
• Confidence working directly with clients and explaining campaign performance
• Strong analytical skills and commercial awareness
• The ability to balance hands-on activation with strategic thinking
• Experience working within integrated agency or multi-disciplinary marketing teams
• A proactive, collaborative approach and the ability to get up to speed quickly

Experience with Google Ad Grants would be useful, although certainly not essential.

• £300+ per day, depending on experience
• Immediate start preferred
• Initial contract running until 18 December 2026
• Potential for extension, subject to business requirements
• Fully remote working considered
• Manchester-based candidates who can spend some time with the team would be particularly welcome
• Occasional client meetings may be beneficial, depending on location and availability

This is an urgent requirement, and we're keen to speak with experienced PPC freelancers who are available immediately or at very short notice. If you're a Senior PPC Executive, PPC Manager or Paid Search Specialist looking for your next assignment, we'd love to hear from you.
