About Alphageek

We’re Alphageek — a creative and strategy-led performance marketing agency, partnering with travel, fashion, and hospitality brands across the UK and beyond. We don’t just run ads — we build brand moments, guide customer journeys, and chase ROI like it’s our sport.

We’re growing fast, but with intention — hiring smart, curious people who thrive on experimentation, value autonomy, and aren’t afraid to break a few rules to get results. You won’t just be pushing buttons in this role — you’ll be steering campaigns, influencing strategy, and making your mark in an ambitious, high-energy team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing end-to-end PPC campaigns across platforms like Google Ads and Microsoft Ads

• Conducting keyword research, competitive analysis, and trend monitoring to inform strategy

• Creating and optimising high-performing ads, landing pages and extensions that convert

• Analysing data daily to identify insights and proactively optimise performance

• Managing budgets, bids, and audience targeting with precision

• Collaborating closely with clients and internal teams to align PPC with wider objectives

• Running regular A/B tests and continuously improving campaign efficiency and ROI

• Reporting clearly on performance metrics, opportunities, and results

• Staying plugged into the ever-evolving world of paid search — bringing new ideas to the table before the algorithm changes hit

What we need from you:

• Hands-on experience running PPC campaigns, ideally in an agency environment

• Strong grasp of keyword strategies, bidding models, ad testing, and budget optimisation

• A good understanding of Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and a working knowledge of GA4

• Solid Excel skills and comfort with numbers — you’re all about data-led decisions

• Experience composing insightful reports for clients and internal stakeholders

• A confident communicator who can explain results and strategy in plain English

• A curious mind that’s always up for testing new ideas and refining what works

• A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-moving, performance-driven environment

This role is for someone who:

• Thinks in click-through rates and dreams in Quality Scores

• Believes spreadsheets and creativity can live in harmony

• Loves experimenting with landing pages and ad copy

• Enjoys helping clients grow and watching campaigns scale

• Can keep cool when things shift — and pivot when needed

• Wants to join a values-led agency where your ideas matter

Perks & Benefits:

• Hybrid working with flexible hours (core hours 10am–4pm)

• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays) + your birthday off

• Quarterly profit-share bonus via our Cooperative Scheme

• Paycare healthcare benefits after probation (dental, optical, virtual GP + more)

• Flexi-day on Super Bowl Monday (because priorities)

• Personal development budgets and monthly training time

• Regular team socials, creative workshops, and agency retreats

• Company MacBook and tech setup

• Alphageek Merch — repping encouraged
