About The Position

As a Senior Paid Social Executive, you’ll play a hands-on role in managing, optimising and scaling Paid Social activity across Vintage.com. Meta is at the core of this position. We’re looking for someone with strong practical experience who can step into an established Meta account, understand how it is structured and performing, and start making informed decisions quickly. You’ll be comfortable working directly in Meta Ads Manager every day: building campaigns, diagnosing performance changes, making optimisation and scaling decisions, testing creative and audiences, and understanding how tracking and attribution affect the decisions we make. This role is for someone who has moved beyond learning the fundamentals. You’ll still work collaboratively with the wider Performance Marketing team, but you’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of independence and bring your own judgement and experience to the accounts.

Requirements

• Strong, recent and hands-on experience optimising campaigns directly within Meta Ads Manager.
• Demonstrable experience independently building, launching, optimising and scaling Meta campaigns.
• Strong knowledge of Facebook and Instagram advertising and how Meta campaign performance is influenced by account structure, creative, audiences, budgets and optimisation.
• Experience diagnosing campaign performance issues and deciding what action to take.
• Confidence in making optimisation and budget decisions using performance data.
• Strong practical understanding of creative testing within Paid Social.
• Hands-on experience with Meta pixels, events and conversion tracking.
• Understanding of attribution and the limitations of platform reporting.
• Strong analytical judgement and the ability to turn performance data into action.
• Experience working with meaningful Paid Social budgets and multiple live campaigns.
• Strong attention to detail and high standards of campaign execution.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with specialists across Creative, CRM and Data.
• Confidence sharing your opinion, challenging assumptions and explaining the reasoning behind your recommendations.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with platforms such as TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, Twitter/X or YouTube.
• Experience operating Paid Social activity across multiple markets.
• Experience in ecommerce, DTC or high-volume lead-generation environments.
• Experience working closely with Creative teams to improve performance marketing assets.
• Familiarity with reporting and BI tools such as Looker, Tableau or Power BI.
• Experience mentoring or supporting the development of junior Paid Social colleagues.
• Experience using AI tools to support creative development, copywriting or performance analysis.

Responsibilities

• Quickly understand existing account structures, campaigns, audiences, budgets, tracking and performance patterns.

• Identify opportunities to scale successful activity while protecting efficiency and lead quality.
• Maintain strong standards of account structure, campaign accuracy and quality assurance.
• Challenge existing approaches where performance data suggests there is a better way.
• Support strategic testing and expansion into other Paid Social platforms.
• Own structured creative testing across formats, concepts, hooks, messaging and audiences.
• Identify what is driving creative performance rather than relying solely on topline metrics.
• Translate performance data into clear and actionable briefs for Creative teams.
• Work collaboratively with Creative colleagues to develop new hypotheses and testing priorities.
• Build a strong understanding of creative fatigue, iteration and winning characteristics.
• Ensure testing generates usable learning rather than isolated campaign results.
• Use approved AI tools where appropriate to accelerate ideation, analysis and creative workflows.
• Confidently work with Meta pixels, events, conversions and campaign tracking.
• Identify and investigate discrepancies between platform and internal performance data.
• Work closely with Data colleagues on tracking, attribution and reporting issues.

• Contribute to daily, weekly and monthly performance reporting.
• Bring practical experience from previous Paid Social environments into the team.
• Support the testing and development of channels including TikTok, Pinterest and other emerging opportunities.
• Evaluate whether learnings from Meta can be transferred effectively into other platforms.
• Stay close to platform changes and understand how they may affect campaign structure, targeting, measurement or creative.
• Identify opportunities to improve the way we work, test and report.
• Work closely with Performance Marketing, Creative, CRM, Data and wider Growth colleagues.
• Provide clear recommendations rather than simply reporting what has happened.
• Share knowledge and practical Paid Social expertise with less experienced colleagues.
• Support the development of Paid Social Executives through day-to-day guidance and knowledge sharing.
• Raise issues early and take ownership of getting them resolved.
• Balance immediate performance decisions with longer-term learning and testing.

Benefits

• Take ownership of Paid Social performance and act when something needs attention.
• Stay curious and continually test new ideas rather than relying on assumptions.
• Be rigorous about campaign accuracy, tracking and data quality.
• Share performance openly, including when a test or decision hasn’t produced the result expected.
• Work as one team across Performance Marketing, Creative, CRM and Data.
• Use your experience to help others learn and raise the capability of the wider team.
