• Develop and deliver Luxury Escapes' paid search strategy, with potential expansion into social, display and other biddable channels.
• Analyse multi-source data to guide strategy and investment decisions.
• Collaborate with data science and analytics to link paid channel effectiveness with owned channels.
• Design and maintain optimal ad account structures to enable efficient optimisation and future automation.
• Lead by example in campaign setup, reporting and continuous optimisation to improve CPA.
• Build and execute a test-and-learn framework to uncover new growth opportunities.
• Manage budgets, forecasting and reconciliations, with clear reporting to senior leadership.
• Develop strong relationships with publishers and vendors to maximise return on investment.
• Stay ahead of digital media trends and identify opportunities to improve performance marketing.

Qualifications
What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in performance marketing, with strong expertise in paid search and exposure to display, social and other biddable channels.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, build forecasts and translate insights into action.
• Demonstrated success in building, scaling and leading high-performing teams.
• A track record of improving customer acquisition and retention through data-driven marketing.
• Hands-on approach: comfortable rolling up your sleeves to problem-solve and deliver.
• Experience working in fast-paced, agile environments with shifting priorities.
• Excellent collaboration skills with the ability to work closely with product, tech and data teams.
• Clear communicator, able to present insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
• Strong knowledge of ad account structures, optimisation techniques and performance measurement.
• Passion for customer experience and a curiosity to test, learn and push for continuous improvement.

Additional Information

What's in it for you?

• First-class health and well-being program, including breakfast and catered lunch provided five days a week, plus an exceptional Employee Assistance Program.
