Job Description
Paid Search Media Buyer (Google)
Function: Paid Search | Google Ads | E-Commerce Growth
Responsibility: Execution of paid search campaigns across a diverse portfolio of D2C brands.
Reports to: Paid Search Manager
Location: Remote-first
Type: Contractor or Freelance
Compensation: £1500 - £2000 B2B
Overview:
We’re building something different at Launch With Us.
Our focus is simple: driving real, measurable impact for brands on a high-growth journey—from £1–2M in revenue to £5M, £6M, £7M and beyond. This means having a direct influence on how the brands we represent operate, not just their advertising accounts. We’re trusted by founders to shape outcomes, challenge assumptions, and identify opportunities for growth. Success here is measured by results, not activity.
We currently manage over £10M in annual paid media spend for brands including Lucky Saint, Fem Fuelz, Butter & Crust, Four Five and Aromatherapy. While we’re best known for our work across Meta and TikTok, Paid Search is a critical growth channel within our ecosystem, and we’re investing heavily in building world-class Google Ads capabilities across our client portfolio.
As a Paid Search Media Buyer, you’ll be responsible for developing, managing and scaling Google Ads campaigns across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and Demand Gen. You’ll work closely with Growth Strategists, Creative Strategists and founders to drive profitable customer acquisition and unlock new growth opportunities through search intent and demand capture.
As part of one of the UK’s leading independent agency groups, we operate with speed, autonomy and a high level of ownership. There is no red tape—just fast decision-making and the ability to move quickly. We’re also deeply AI-forward in how we think and operate, constantly evolving how we drive performance, efficiency and insight for our brands.
Progression here isn’t tied to time served—it’s driven by impact. If you’re delivering exceptional results, you’ll be recognised and advanced quickly. This is a place for people who want to take ownership, move fast and play a meaningful role in scaling ambitious consumer brands.
The Role:
We’re looking for an ambitious Paid Search Media Buyer who wants more than simply managing campaigns.
You’ll be joining a high-performance team focused on scaling some of the UK’s most exciting consumer brands. You’ll have significant ownership over client performance and will play a key role in shaping acquisition strategy across Google Ads.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical platform expertise with commercial thinking and a genuine passion for growth.
