Are you a senior-level paid social specialist who loves being client facing? Do you love working across multiple accounts, driving results for exciting brands and leading campaigns from concept to delivery?

We’re looking for a proactive Paid Social Director to bring strategic insight, creative thinking, and strong client leadership to a growing agency team. This is more than a 9–5 role, you’ll be part of a collaborative, social, and ambitious culture where ideas are valued, and every day brings something new.

Visibility matters at this level. While there’s flexibility around working patterns, you’ll want to be in the Bristol office a couple of days each week - building relationships, sharing ideas, and being a core part of agency life.

The Role

You’ll lead paid social campaigns across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and some LinkedIn — taking projects from brief to delivery with confidence and precision. Someone who's passionate about paid TikTok and Pinterest campaigns and champions those platforms would be perfect. You’ll work closely with clients, internal teams, and external partners to ensure creative, data-driven strategies are executed to the highest standard.

As the go-to lead for your accounts, you’ll guide the team, oversee performance, and provide strategic direction while keeping campaigns aligned with client objectives. You’ll also bring creative thinking to the table—pushing content and experimentation to deliver impactful results and inspiring work.

Skills and Experience
  • 5+ years’ experience in paid social across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and a bit of LinkedIn would be fab too
  • Agency experience would help you to jump straight into the pace and variety of managing multiple accounts
  • Combines strategic thinking with hands-on knowledge of campaign delivery and creative experimentation
  • Understands how data, attribution, and analytics drive performance and reporting
  • Is proactive, uses initiative, and thrives in a collaborative environment
  • Is a confident communicator who can hold their own with senior stakeholders and isn't afraid to seek help from the other directors if and when needed
  • Has experience mentoring and guiding teams to deliver high-quality output

If you're a paid media specialist with experience spanning search and social but you're excited to focus on paid social, we'd still really love to hear from you!

Benefits

You’ll enjoy a generous benefits package, including 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, a birthday lie-in, and additional leave as your service grows. There’s flexible working and regular social events that celebrate the team’s close-knit culture.

Professional development is built in—through training, conferences, and growth opportunities beyond paid media. The agency also offers wellbeing support, mental health days, medical cash plans, parental leave packages, and health insurance.
