Global Paid Social Director

You'll be working directly with Meta, partnering with them to deliver global social campaigns across some of the most exciting platforms in the industry-TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
These aren't small, siloed campaigns either. You'll be shaping large-scale, high-impact activity across both B2C and B2B audiences, focused on awareness and consideration-right at the point where brands build momentum and influence real decisions.
If you're looking for scale, visibility and the chance to do genuinely interesting work, this is it.
Responsibilities
What you'll be doing
As a Paid Social Account Director, you'll lead from the front-owning strategy, guiding clients and empowering your team to deliver their best work.
A typical week might include:

Leading multi-platform Paid Social strategy and activation across a diverse channel mix
Acting as a senior partner to Meta stakeholders, helping them navigate an evolving media landscape
Using data and testing frameworks to prove the impact of social and unlock new opportunities
Driving innovation and experimentation across platforms, tech and formats
Collaborating with wider media teams to keep social fully integrated into broader plans
Building and developing a high-performing, motivated team

What we're looking for
You're likely already operating at Account Director (or ready to step into it) and comfortable leading both people and clients:

Strong experience across Paid Social strategy, activation and client leadership
A clear point of view on platforms, innovation and the future of social
Confidence managing complex clients and large-scale campaigns
A balance of strategic thinking and operational excellence
A collaborative, people-first leadership style

This is a role designed for someone who wants more than just "business as usual":

Work at the cutting edge of social - You'll be partnering with Meta and working across the fastest-growing and most dynamic platforms
Big impact, real influence - You'll shape strategy, guide senior stakeholders and influence global campaign direction
Scale and variety - Global campaigns spanning multiple platforms, audiences and industries
Progression and visibility - A senior role with exposure across leadership and new business opportunities
A genuinely supportive culture - Lead a team where development, wellbeing and inclusion are a priority
