What is your expected monthly rate in GBP (£)?

Give a single monthly figure or a tight range in pounds sterling, and state whether it is gross salary or a self-employed contractor invoice amount. Compensation is competitive and based on experience, with performance bonuses open to discussion.

What is the earliest date you could start?

We are targeting a start in early July, so please give a realistic date allowing for any notice period.

Where will you be working from, and under what arrangement?

The role is fully remote with a preference for Eastern European locations. We ask because contracts and working hours depend on your country of residence.

Which best describes your working location?

Choose the option that matches where you will be based day to day.

Can you work 9:30am–5:30pm UK time, Monday to Friday, with occasional client calls slightly outside those hours?

Are you able to work as a self-employed contractor invoicing monthly? — optional

Answer no if you would need an employment contract in your country; this does not automatically rule you out.

How many years have you spent managing paid media campaigns hands-on across Meta and Google Ads?

Count only years where you were personally in the ad accounts, not general marketing roles.

Which best describes your most recent two years of experience?What share of your paid media experience has been ecommerce (direct-to-consumer or online retail)?

We are looking for roughly 80–85% ecommerce-focused experience.

List the agencies, brands or companies where you did this work, with your job title, dates and the typical monthly spend you managed at each.

One line per role, most recent first. For example: Agency X — Senior Paid Media Manager — Mar 2022 to present — 6 ecommerce clients, £180K/month combined.

UK Ireland Western Europe Eastern Europe Nordics United States Canada Australia / New Zealand Middle East Other

Have you personally scaled an ecommerce account profitably — increasing spend while holding or improving ROAS or contribution margin?

Answer yes only if you owned the decisions, not if you supported someone else who did.

What is the largest monthly ad spend you have personally managed (single account or portfolio)?

Use GBP; convert approximately from other currencies. Please be honest — we verify this at interview.

Which areas did you personally own, rather than support?

Select only what you were accountable for.

Growth strategy and budget planning Meta campaign build and optimisation Google Search and Shopping Performance Max Feed and Merchant Centre Creative testing roadmap Creative briefing Reporting and analysis Direct client communication Forecasting and profitability modelling

Link to the finished work itself. — optional

Live ads, an ad library link, creative examples, landing pages or campaign assets you were responsible for.

Take the result you linked above and explain why it worked.

Cover the starting position, the commercial objective, what you changed and why, what the data told you, and where the account ended up. Specifics beat adjectives.

Which of these tools have you used hands-on in the last 18 months?

Meta Ads Manager Google Ads Google Merchant Centre GA4 Shopify Triple Whale / Northbeam / Hyros Looker Studio or similar Foreplay / Motion or similar Project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, Notion) None of these

A scenario: one of your ecommerce clients spends £120K a month across Meta and Google. Over the past three weeks blended ROAS has fallen from 3.1 to 2.2 while spend has stayed flat. Meta reports strong in-platform ROAS, Google Shopping is steady, and the client has just emailed asking whether they should pause everything. Write how you would handle the next 48 hours: what you check first and why, what you would and would not change in the accounts, and exactly what you would say to the client.

A few focused paragraphs. We are assessing diagnosis, commercial judgment and client communication, not length.

Are you willing to complete a short practical assessment or trial task as part of the hiring process?

It is a scoped task of a few hours; we are happy to discuss paying for your time.

Link to a 1–2 minute intro video.

Record on your phone or laptop, no editing or script needed. Say who you are, the ecommerce accounts you currently own and their spend level, and one growth opportunity you spotted before anyone asked you to. Upload to Loom, YouTube (unlisted), Google Drive or Vimeo and check the sharing permissions before pasting the link.
