Performance Marketing Manager
What is the job?
Do you want to own paid social performance marketing at a company genuinely changing how people access healthcare?
As Performance Marketing Manager you will take the reins for the strategic development, execution and optimisation of paid social media acquisition across Meta, TikTok and emerging platforms — operating within one of the most complex and tightly regulated advertising environments in the UK.
This is not a standard paid media role. You will need to understand the regulatory distinction between promoting a regulated clinical service and promoting a controlled product — and consistently find ways to reach and convert the right audiences within those boundaries. Combining your deep platform expertise, analytical rigour, and the creative problem-solving ability to drive meaningful acquisition within the constraints of MHRA advertising guidance and platform-specific health and wellness policies.
If you are energised by hard problems, meaningful work and genuine ownership of high-impact budgets, this role is for you.
What will you be doing?
Specialist Paid Social Strategy
Develop, own and lead paid social acquisition strategies across Meta, TikTok, Reddit and emerging platforms, across UK and selected international markets.
Design, implement and run bespoke paid social frameworks covering account architecture, campaign structure, testing frameworks and optimisation logic for a regulated healthcare advertiser
Navigate MHRA guidelines and platform-specific health and wellness policies, including managing policy escalations and maintaining compliant campaign delivery.
Drive creative performance by partnering with in-house creative and brand teams — translating performance data, regulatory constraints and audience insight into compelling, compliant paid social assets.
Technical Campaign Management
Configure and maintain advanced paid social technical setups, including tracking frameworks, conversion events, audience segmentation and attribution logic in a consent-led, GDPR-sensitive environment.
Monitor, analyse and optimise performance using platform data, analytics tools and structured testing methodologies, with particular skill in low-volume or data-constrained regulated environments.
Manage significant paid media budgets, optimising for ROI, efficiency and learning velocity.
Work with GA4, server-side tracking and attribution modelling in environments where health data sensitivity constrains standard approaches
Data Analysis & Insight Generation
Analyse campaign and funnel performance to generate statistically and commercially meaningful insights, accounting for the reporting limitations inherent in regulated or restricted ad environments.
Apply hypothesis-led experimentation to inform strategy and optimisation — particularly where volume constraints or policy restrictions limit standard testing approaches.
Turn complex performance data into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with in-house creative, brand, UX, analytics, product and clinical teams to develop compliant, platform-appropriate assets that drive performance without breaching healthcare advertising rules.
Provide detailed creative briefs grounded in performance data and regulatory constraints, reaching new patient audiences at the cutting edge of what paid social will permit in this category.
Act as the internal subject-matter expert for paid social performance marketing in a regulated healthcare environment, advising on platform policy, compliance obligations and channel feasibility.
Support integrated campaign planning across marketing and business functions, including liaison with legal and compliance stakeholders.
Multi-Channel & International Support
Support campaign execution and optimisation across additional geographic markets where required, adapting strategy for differing regulatory frameworks.
Contribute to wider paid media strategy beyond social channels, including support for Paid Search and other performance channels.
Assist in demand forecasting, capacity planning and channel mix optimisation.
