Job Description

We are looking for a highly motivated Paid Social Expert with a strong background in campaign activation, planning, and strategy across major social platforms. This role is designed for someone who wants to take a step further in their career: moving away from day-to-day activation to support the global execution of social strategies across multiple countries. Your main objective will be to guide, advise, and empower local teams, ensuring they apply our "Golden Rules" and best practices effectively to maximize their performance and campaign results. 

Responsibilities

Strategic Execution & Golden Rules Implementation: Lead the deployment of Paid Social strategies across various countries, ensuring local teams understand and effectively apply global "Golden Rules" and performance best practices. 

Cross-Market Innovation & Best-in-Class Development: Identify new opportunities across different markets, leveraging both global insights and local knowledge to help regional teams become "best in class" in their campaign executions. 

Local Team Enablement & Support: Act as the central Paid Social subject matter expert. While you won't be doing direct hands-on activation, you will serve as the strategic link, advising and training local execution teams to optimize their setups and resolve complex campaign challenges. 

Performance Analysis & Optimization Guidance: Monitor multi-market campaign performance, identifying trends and areas for improvement. Continuously refine and share insights to elevate the overall quality, efficiency, and ROI of social campaigns globally. 

Strategic & Technical Alignment: While the role involves some client-facing interactions, your primary focus will be acting as the bridge between technical execution and overarching strategy. You will spend a significant portion of your time collaborating with internal Publicis activation and strategy teams across multiple countries, seamlessly translating technical nuances into strategic language and vice versa. 

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Paid Social, with a solid background in the activation, planning, and basic strategy of campaigns. 

• Deep and demonstrable expertise managing and optimizing campaigns on Meta Ads and TikTok Ads. 

• Language: Fluent, near-native level of English (written and verbal) is mandatory to successfully coordinate, communicate, and support international local teams. 

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate platform data into actionable advice and clear guidelines for activation teams. 

We think you’re awesome if you: 

• Have prior experience working closely and partnering directly with platform representatives and dedicated account teams (such as Meta, TikTok, etc.) to drive innovation, leverage new features, and resolve challenges. 

• Have hands-on experience or positive knowledge of other biddable social platforms such as Snapchat, Reddit, or LinkedIn Ads. 

• Are looking to take a step forward in your career, transitioning from pure campaign activation to a broader, strategic multi-market support role. 

• Demonstrate strong communication skills and a proactive attitude to influence and help teams improve their performance without having direct authority over them.
