PPC Manager

Salary: £36,000 + Christmas bonus (~£1,700 on average) based on company performance and tenure.

Holiday: Unlimited (with a contractually required 28-day minimum, because unlimited holiday only works if people actually take it).

Location: Remote, UK-based.

We're three&six. We're a global hospitality digital marketing agency — independent, boutique and branded hotels are the only kind of client we work with. We've been doing this since just before Covid, which is either the best or the worst time to have started a hospitality business depending on how you squint at it.

We need a PPC Manager. Specifically, we need someone who's good at the craft, opinionated about the numbers, and grown-up enough that "managing your own diary" isn't code for "disappearing on Thursdays."

What the role actually involves

You'll own paid search for a portfolio of hotel and resort clients by building and running campaigns across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, metasearch, display, and whichever platforms make sense for the brief. The work is a mix of hands-on optimisation (keywords, bids, budgets, structures) and the conversations around it: telling clients what's working, telling them what isn't, and explaining why your recommendation is the right one.

You'll work closely with our SEO, content, design and analytics teams; paid search doesn't exist in isolation here, and you won't either. You'll also be expected to keep up with the industry and share what you know either internally, on our blog, or occasionally on our podcast if that's your thing.

Who we think we're looking for

Closing my eyes and imagining the perfect candidate sort of looks like this:

• You've got around 3–5 years running paid search accounts at agency or in-house, including hands-on Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
• Someone comfortable in GA4. You don't need to be an expert, but you can navigate it without flinching.
• You're able to talk to clients without translating jargon into more jargon.
• You're genuinely interested in the business of paid search. By that, we mean what it costs to acquire a guest, what the metasearch arbitrage looks like and why direct bookings matter more for some hotels than others.
• Someone comfortable making a call and defending it. "I'd recommend X because Y" is far better than "we could do X, Y or Z" every time, and we'll absolutely back you when you're right.
• Yes, hospitality or travel experience would be lovely, but we hire on trajectory and smarts as much as track record. If you've been running smart accounts in other verticals and want to apply that to hotels, tell us why.

What you get back

• £36k base + bonus.
• Genuinely unlimited holiday (with that 28-day contractual minimum — we mean it).
• Fully remote, UK-based; we get the team together in person periodically.
• New tech and the kit you need to do the job properly.
• Real ownership of your accounts and the results.

A few things worth saying

We've put together an interview pack for shortlisted candidates that goes into much more detail about who we are, how we work, and what the interview process looks like — including the part where we send you a £50 gift card if you make it to the final stage and we don't end up offering you the role. You'll get that pack if we invite you to a first call.

If you've read all of this and you're sitting there wondering whether you're qualified or experienced enough, then please apply anyway. The version of you that's wondering is usually the version we want to hire.
