We have open comms - there aren’t any silly questions and there’s no limit to how many you can ask - whether that be to the Head of PPC, AD or SAE

WHAT DRIVES SUCCESS IN OUR PPC TEAM

Proactivity - if you work best in an environment where you need to be told exactly what to do and when, this might not be the right place for you. If you’re someone who thrives on taking initiative, coming up with ideas and suggestions, then you’re in the right place.

Willingness to learn, adapt and constantly evolve - we never settle for the status quo. We’re always looking at how we can learn, whether that’s a new way of doing something, from our success and failures or how we learn from one another.
Independence - we thrive off of freedom and autonomy, you will take ownership of your role and your career path, with the best managers and leaders to support and nurture along the way.
You have experience running successful PPC campaigns in an agency environment.
