3090 - Paid Search Manager – TikTok for Business (B2B)

Role Summary and Impact

We’re looking for a Paid Search Manager to lead performance marketing for TikTok for Business across 24 international markets.

This is a hands-on role focused on driving conversions, pipeline growth, and ROI through best-in-class paid search execution. You'll own campaign performance across a high-spend global account, with significant autonomy to identify opportunities, test new approaches, and scale what works.

Unlike many agency roles, this position has a streamlined stakeholder structure with a single core client contact, allowing greater focus on optimisation, experimentation, and business outcomes rather than excessive reporting and meetings.

• Translate performance insights into clear actions that drive measurable business impact.

Strategy & Measurement

• Build scalable account structures and processes that support efficient global growth.
• Partner with analytics teams to ensure robust tracking, attribution, and measurement frameworks.
• Use data to uncover trends, diagnose performance issues, and influence investment decisions.

Team & Operational Leadership

• Manage and develop a team of four activation specialists based in our Poland hub.
• Act as the primary coordination point between onshore and offshore teams, ensuring high-quality execution and accountability.
• Drive operational excellence through strong organisation, prioritisation, and workflow management.

Skills and Experience

• Proven experience managing large-scale paid search programmes with a strong focus on performance outcomes.
• Deep understanding of optimisation, experimentation, measurement, and conversion-focused marketing.
• Highly analytical and comfortable working with large datasets to drive decision-making.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities across markets.
• Excellent communicator who can align stakeholders, influence teams, and provide clear direction.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.
