Job description

Junior Paid Social Executive (TikTok & Meta)

We're hiring on behalf of a fast-growing events and experiences company behind live events, festivals, concerts, cultural experiences and brand activations across several consumer brands.

Paid social drives a large share of their ticket sales. TikTok is their most important channel, and Meta comes second.

In this role, you'll support the paid social team day to day. You'll make budget changes, update audiences, manage live campaigns and keep performance on track across multiple brands.

And we're looking for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented and eager to learn.

This isn't a role where you'll be setting the paid social strategy from scratch. The structure is already in place. Your job is to keep it running well, spot what needs adjusting, and make the changes quickly and accurately.

You'll work with the marketing and creative teams, and you'll need some real experience in TikTok Ads Manager plus a working knowledge of Meta.

Experience with events, ticketing or e-commerce campaigns would be an advantage.

Most of all, this role needs someone who is reliable inside the ad platforms and wants to grow in paid social.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will:

  • Have 1–3 years of hands‑on experience running paid social campaigns.
  • Have practical experience using TikTok Ads Manager on live campaigns.
  • Have a working knowledge of Meta Ads Manager.
  • Have a solid grasp of core performance metrics such as CPA, ROAS, CTR and conversion rate.
  • Have experience making budget, bidding and audience changes in ad platforms.
  • Have a basic understanding of campaign structures, audiences and tracking.
  • Be comfortable working with numbers and spotting changes in performance.
  • Be highly organised and detail-oriented, with a careful approach to live budgets.
  • Be able to juggle multiple brands and campaigns at once.
  • Be comfortable following an existing structure and process.
  • Be quick to act on feedback and direction.
  • Be a clear communicator who flags issues early.
  • Be available and responsive during UK business hours.

Bonus

  • Experience with events, ticketing, festivals or e-commerce campaigns.
  • Experience supporting creative testing on TikTok.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Someone who enjoys being inside ad platforms every day.
  • Someone who double-checks budget changes before hitting publish.
  • Someone who notices when a campaign starts slipping and raises it straight away.
  • Someone who wants to learn how a high-growth paid social team operates.
  • Someone who takes pride in doing the day-to-day work well.

The small changes you make every day keep the whole machine running.

This Probably Isn't the Role for You If...

  • You're looking for a senior role where you set the paid social strategy.
  • You want to build campaign structures from scratch rather than work within one.
  • You find daily campaign monitoring and adjustments repetitive.
  • You struggle to stay organised across multiple brands and deadlines.
  • You prefer to wait to be told about problems rather than spot them yourself.

If you want to learn fast and be the person who keeps campaigns on track, keep reading.

Tools, Technology & Ways of Working

  • TikTok Ads Manager as your main platform, used daily.
  • Meta Ads Manager for Facebook and Instagram campaign support.
  • Reporting and analytics tools to track performance and prepare reports.
  • Remote collaboration with the marketing and creative teams during UK hours
  • Full-time, permanent role.
  • Fully remote from South Africa.
  • UK business hours.
  • Hands‑on experience managing real budgets across multiple consumer brands.

Why This Opportunity?

  • Build hands‑on TikTok and Meta experience inside a fast-growing business.
  • Work across multiple exciting brands, events, festivals and live experiences.
  • Learn how a high-volume paid social operation runs day to day.
  • Work on live campaigns with meaningful budgets.
  • See the direct impact of your work on ticket sales.
  • Contribute testing ideas as you grow in the role.
  • Work remotely with an ambitious, commercially focused team.

Ready to Grow in Paid Social?

If you've got some TikTok ads experience under your belt and want to sharpen your skills on campaigns people actually get excited about, we'd love to hear from you.
