Paid Media Manager (£32K - £42K DOE)

We're the team iGaming operators turn to when growth matters most — and we're growing fast ourselves. At Receptional, you'll find colleagues who are bright, ambitious, and genuinely supportive. Specialists who do their best work together, sharing ideas, moving fast, and holding themselves to a high bar.
 
Whether you're starting out or stepping up, you'll get genuine investment in your development through our internal academy, real variety in your work, and a direct impact on some of the biggest names in the industry. Competitive benefits, flexible working, and a team that has your back.
 
We were named Marketing Services Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards 2026, and Best Medium Agency to Work For at the Company Culture Awards 2025 — recognition for the work we do and the place we've built to do it.
 
Paid media in iGaming isn't like paid media anywhere else. The budgets are significant, the compliance landscape is complex, and the pace is relentless. As a Paid Media Manager at Receptional you'll be managing multi-channel campaigns — Paid Search, Display, and Social — across some of the biggest names in sports betting and casino, with AI tooling built into how the team works day-to-day. You'll be reporting to our Head of Paid Media, with real variety across accounts and a clear path to develop your career in one of digital marketing's most commercially demanding sectors. This is a hands-on campaign role where you'll be managing paid media activity across a portfolio of iGaming clients, working closely with the Head of Paid Media and senior team members. The channel mix varies by client — Paid Search, Display, and Social — so you'll need to be comfortable switching contexts and adapting your approach to what each account demands.
 
In practice, that looks like:
 

• Managing and optimising paid media campaigns day-to-day across Google Ads, Meta, and Display — always with an eye on performance against KPIs
• Owning client communication for your accounts — building relationships, running reporting calls, and translating campaign data into clear commercial insight
• Conducting regular account audits to surface issues and opportunities before clients do
• Working with the Head of Paid Media to develop strategic plans for your clients — contributing your own thinking, not just executing
• Ensuring spend is tracked  accurately and budgets are managed tightly across all accounts
• Using AI tooling to improve  campaign efficiency and automate repeatable processes
• Collaborating with SEO,  Creative, and Digital PR teams to keep paid activity integrated with the wider strategy
• Staying current on platform updates, industry trends, and iGaming regulatory changes that affect how you can advertise

  You'll need to be analytically sharp, commercially aware, and genuinely comfortable in client-facing situations. This isn't a role where you can hide behind dashboards — you'll be presenting performance, fielding questions, and building relationships with clients who know their numbers. At the same time, you need to be a strong day-to-day operator: organised, proactive, and on top of the detail across multiple accounts simultaneously.
 
Essential:

• 2+ years' paid media  experience, ideally agency-side, across Google Ads and/or Meta
• Hands-on campaign management experience — building, optimising, and reporting across live accounts
• Google Ads or Meta  certified — or actively working towards it
• Comfortable in      client-facing environments — you can run a reporting call and handle a difficult question without escalating everything
• Numerate and analytical:  you work with data confidently and translate it into clear recommendations
• Strong written and verbal communication — reports and presentations that clients actually understand
• Organised enough to manage multiple accounts simultaneously without things slipping

 
Desirable:

• iGaming or regulated-sector experience — we'll get you up to speed if not
• Experience with AI tooling or automation in a paid media workflow
• Familiarity with programmatic or Display advertising beyond search and social

 
How you'll be measured
