Paid Social Manager

Paid Social Manager

Launch With Us | Remote-first (UK-based) | £37,000 - £40,000

Who We Are

Launch With Us builds ecommerce brands at the point where growth decisions really matter.

We partner with ambitious, founder-led DTC brands typically turning over £1–2 million and help them scale profitably through creative-led paid social and growth strategy. These are brands in active scale mode, not legacy accounts, and our work directly influences their trajectory.

Unlike larger agencies, there are no layers between you and the decision-makers. Our Paid Social Managers work directly with founders, giving them deep exposure to how brands operate, how growth decisions are made, and how paid social fits into the wider commercial picture.

As part of the wider Soar Group, we combine the speed and exposure of a smaller agency with access to industry-leading creative, proprietary IP, data advantages and cross-functional expertise.

The Role

At Launch With Us, Paid Social Managers are owners of growth, not just channels.

You will take ownership of paid social strategy and performance across a small portfolio of high-growth DTC ecommerce brands, while also supporting and guiding junior team members. This is a hands-on role with meaningful autonomy, where your thinking, decisions and recommendations have visible commercial impact.

You will sit at the intersection of performance, creative and client strategy, working closely with founders, Creative Strategists and Growth Leads to scale brands sustainably.

This role is ideal for someone who has moved beyond pure execution and is ready to own outcomes, influence direction and play a bigger role in shaping how accounts are run.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning paid social strategy and execution across Meta and TikTok for 5-6 DTC ecommerce brands
• Managing daily budgets typically ranging from £2,000 to £5,000+ per brand
• Working directly with founders on strategy, performance reviews and scaling decisions
• Leading structured creative testing and iteration in collaboration with Creative Strategists
• Analysing performance using CAC, MER, eROAS, NC ROAS and efficiency metrics
• Forecasting performance, managing budget pacing and protecting efficiency as spend scales
• Reviewing campaign builds, testing plans and performance insights
• Identifying underperformance early and leading recovery strategies
• Collaborating with CRO, retention and creative partners to align full-funnel efforts
• Sharing insights and best practices across the wider team
