Purpose The Biddable Social Specialist is responsible for the strategic execution, management, and continuous optimization of performance-driven paid social campaigns across our client portfolio. This role requires hands-on platform expertise across major social networks (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest) to deliver against client objectives and key performance indicators.

Key Responsibilities Execution & Optimization • Build, QA, launch, and optimize end-to-end paid social campaigns across all major platforms (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest) based on client briefs and media plans. • Apply platform best practices across bidding strategies, understanding their benefits, trade-offs, and when to use automated options (e.g., Meta Advantage+, TikTok Smart+). • Implement creative and audience testing, using campaign performance data to recommend creative iterations and optimizations. • Conduct audience research, platform evaluation, and budget planning to help inform client media recommendations. • Diligently monitor and pace client budgets to prevent over- or underspend across accounts. • Work with internal teams to ensure proper tracking hygiene (pixels, Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API, UTM parameters, and GA4).

Reporting, Insights & Measurement • Produce clear, accurate reporting that highlights key trends and actionable recommendations for performance improvements. • Review web analytics (GA4) alongside platform reporting to better understand campaign impact and performance. • Maintain an understanding of brand safety guidelines, viewability benchmarks, and privacy updates.

Client & Team Collaboration • Build positive relationships with clients and internal team members, communicating clearly across email, calls, and meetings. • Help translate campaign performance metrics into straightforward, commercial insights for clients and non-technical stakeholders. • Leverage platform support and partner relationships (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn) to resolve technical account issues and test new features.

The Ideal Candidate • Experience: 3–5 years of hands-on paid social media buying experience, preferably within an agency environment. • Platform Certifications: Valid platform certifications preferred (Meta Certified, TikTok Academy, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions). • Bid Strategy Knowledge: Good understanding of best-practice bid strategies and how to select the right approach for different campaign goals. • Technical Understanding: Familiarity with campaign tracking setup, pixels, Conversions API (CAPI), and basic GA4 event tracking. • Analytical Skills: Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, basic formulas) and PowerPoint for client reporting. • Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain media rationale with confidence. • Work Ethic: Strong attention to detail, good time-management skills, and the ability to manage campaign deliverables under pressure.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
