Paid Search and App Specialist
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drive everything we do. Our Performance Marketing team is at the engine room of Deliveroo’s global growth—leveraging cutting-edge technology to connect millions of customers with the food they love. If you are a data-obsessed marketer who thrives on optimising high-spend, complex accounts and wants to influence the trajectory of a global tech brand, this is the team for you.
We’re looking for a Paid Search and App Specialist to join our team. In this pivotal role, you will be hands-on in our global accounts, responsible for driving revenue and efficiency across Google Ads (Search & UAC) and Apple Search Ads (ASA).
What You’ll Be Doing
You will support the development and execution of our global Paid Media strategy, balancing short-term performance targets with long-term growth roadmaps. You will act as a bridge between marketing strategy and technical execution.
Hands-on Performance Management: Take ownership of complex, high-spending global programs. You will design campaign structures and bidding strategies to maximize ROI and incremental growth.
Strategic Roadmapping: Contribute to channel-specific strategies and roadmaps, ensuring we hit aggressive efficiency targets while scaling our global footprint.
Innovation & Beta Testing: Build relationships with platform partners (Google, Apple) to stay ahead of industry trends. You will be the first to test and adopt emerging products and alpha/beta features.
Experimentation Frameworks: Suggest and execute A/B and incrementality tests. You’ll partner with Data Science to validate the "lift" of your campaigns beyond standard attribution models.
Technical Optimization: Partner with Engineering and Product teams to improve feed optimization, tracking enhancements, and automation scripts.
Budget & Pacing: Manage and pace allocated global budgets, proactively communicating variances and course-correcting based on real-time performance data.
Data Analysis: Deep-dive into Looker and other enterprise tools to translate raw performance data into actionable investment recommendations.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
Our ideal candidate is a proactive problem solver with a deep technical understanding of the search and app ecosystem:
Technical Expertise: 2–3 years of hands-on experience managing large-scale Google Ads (Search, UAC) and Apple Search Ads (ASA) campaigns.
Automation Skills: Experience with automation, scripts, and ad platform APIs is a strong plus.
Analytical Rigor: Highly data-driven, comfortable working with Looker or advanced spreadsheets to diagnose issues and identify trends.
Market Experience: Experience managing high-spend campaigns across multiple markets, ideally within e-commerce or a marketplace environment.
Test & Learn Mindset: A natural curiosity to experiment and iterate, with the ability to simplify complex technical results for cross-functional stakeholders.
