I’m working with a genuinely strong performance-led agency who are looking for a Paid Performance Manager to join their Leeds team.

This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a scaled, well-established performance environment working across both B2B and B2C brands. You’ll get the best of both worlds, strategic B2B campaigns alongside fast-paced, commercially driven B2C accounts.

This isn’t just about managing campaigns. It’s about owning performance and having a real say in how accounts grow.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of paid media across your client set, from implementation through to optimisation, insight and long-term growth strategy.

  • Managing campaigns across Google and Microsoft (Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen and more)
  • Driving automation, testing frameworks and best practices
  • Working closely with senior leadership to shape paid strategy
  • Managing and mentoring 1–2 execs
  • Leading client calls and presenting monthly and quarterly performance reviews
  • Delivering reporting that goes beyond numbers

You’ll be part of a wider performance community, so there’s collaboration across teams and a genuine opportunity to innovate.

Why this role stands out

  • Exposure to both B2B and B2C verticals
  • Meaningful budgets and proper strategic conversations
  • Room to test, trial and push new ideas
  • Clear progression and development
  • A supportive but high-performing team

They’re ambitious, but not corporate for the sake of it. High standards, strong collaboration, and people who genuinely know their craft.

What they’re looking for

  • 2+ years’ agency experience in paid media
  • Strong hands-on experience across Google & Microsoft platforms
  • Confident with Analytics and SA360
  • Comfortable speaking to clients and owning conversations
  • Organised, proactive and commercially minded

Management experience is a bonus, but they’re equally open to someone ready to step up and take more ownership.

If you’re at Senior Exec/Account Manager level and ready for more influence or already managing but want stronger clients and more strategic input, this is well worth a conversation.
