Role Summary and Impact 

As Senior Associate, Ecommerce, you will contribute to campaign planning, media-plan development and ongoing optimisation, alongside day-to-day campaign management and reporting. With ecommerce as your primary focus and paid social as a supporting responsibility, you will work closely with the planning and brand teams to develop and refine campaign recommendations, improve media efficiency and identify scaling opportunities.

Skills and Experience 

  • Contribute to creating and refining ecommerce media plans with the planning and brand teams, recommending campaign structures, objectives, targeting, product selection, bids and budget allocations. Set up and launch campaigns in line with agreed plans and timelines.
  • Check campaign settings, product selection, budgets, creative assets, links and tracking before launch. Flag missing inputs or discrepancies and coordinate corrections before campaigns go live.
  • Monitor campaign delivery, spend and pacing against approved budgets and timelines. Identify underdelivery, overspend risks and other discrepancies, escalate issues promptly and implement approved adjustments.
  • Review search-term, keyword, audience and product-level performance to identify inefficient spend, delivery gaps and scaling opportunities. Use findings to recommend changes to campaign plans, budget allocations and targeting, discuss recommendations with the manager and planning team, and implement agreed optimisations.
  • Consolidate campaign data and prepare timely, accurate reports covering spend, impressions, clicks, attributed sales, ROAS, ACOS and other relevant metrics. Explain key performance movements, highlight variances and outline recommended next steps.
  • Work with planning, ecommerce, brand and platform teams to shape campaign plans for product launches, promotions, seasonal events and key retail moments. Align product availability, creative assets, budgets and timelines, and recommend plan revisions as priorities or performance change.
  • Contribute ideas for campaign tests, help define test setups and monitor results. Use documented learnings and relevant platform, marketplace and competitor developments to inform future media plans and optimisation recommendations.
  • Maintain up-to-date media plans, campaign trackers, change records and reporting documentation. Follow agreed naming conventions, quality checks and reporting timelines, keeping the manager and planning team informed of plan revisions, open issues and campaign dependencies.
  • Support social campaign setups across Meta, TikTok and other relevant platforms, including objectives, audiences, placements, creatives, budgets, links and tracking. Complete pre-launch checks and use CPA/CPAS and Smart+ solutions where applicable.

Role Requirements

  • 2–4 years of experience in ecommerce advertising, with hands-on campaign management and optimisation experience and the ability to contribute to media planning. Paid social experience is a bonus.
  • Strong understanding of campaign planning, campaign structures, keyword and product targeting, bidding, budget allocation, pacing and tracking.
  • Ability to interpret campaign data, including attributed sales, ROAS and ACOS, and identify actionable trends and opportunities.
  • Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets for data analysis, campaign tracking and reporting.
  • Strong attention to detail, communication, coordination and time management skills.
  • A proactive, analytical approach and willingness to learn evolving ecommerce platforms and advertising solutions.
