  • Partner with B2B publishers and third-party media vendors to execute content syndication campaigns.
  • Oversee lead delivery pacing, validate incoming leads for accuracy, and enforce strict lead qualification and data quality standards.
• Performance Optimisation, Tracking & Reporting:
  • Regularly monitor campaign performance metrics and tracking data, collaborating with Marketing Operations (MOPs) to maintain consistent reporting.
  • Generate campaign performance reports and support ad-hoc stakeholder data requests, delivering actionable insights to continuously optimise key metrics (including CTR, CPC, CPA, and pipeline contribution).
• Stakeholder Collaboration & Regional Support:
  • Partner closely with EMEA RDC campaign leads on campaign strategy, content mapping, ad creative development, and audience targeting.
  • Collaborate with the internal creative team to brief new creatives and ad copy, running A/B tests to inform campaign learnings.
  • Support Field Marketing Managers (FMMs) across sub-regions with regional requests for localised paid media campaigns.
• BDR & Lead Flow Alignment:
  • Maintain an active feedback loop with the EMEA BDR team to monitor MQL-to-SQL progression and lead conversion quality.
  • Analyse lead quality and optimise paid media audience parameters based on direct BDR feedback.
• Budget & Financial Administration:
  • Track and manage regional paid media spend across campaigns, raise POs, and reconcile vendor invoices to maintain accurate budget hygiene.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience managing B2B paid media campaigns with a core focus on LinkedIn and paid social channels within B2B technology or SaaS environments. (Hands-on experience across other digital channels such as paid display or paid search is a strong plus).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Platform Expertise:
  • LinkedIn Campaign Manager (Essential): Proven hands-on experience executing in LinkedIn Campaign Manager, including audience segmentation, lead gen forms, and campaign setup.
