Paid Social Executive

Are you a paid social executive who knows their way around Meta and LinkedIn Ads, and thrives on creating campaigns that actually perform? We’re looking for a commercially minded, creatively sharp Social Media Ad Executive to join our growing team at Dock - a digital marketing agency based in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.

This is a full-time, hybrid role (with two days a week in our Liverpool studio) offering the chance to work on a wide mix of B2B and B2C campaigns - from ed tech to e-commerce and public sector brands. If you’re looking for more creative autonomy, variety and the chance to make a real impact in a small, agile team, we think you’ll love it here.

About Dock

We’re a close-knit team of digital specialists helping ambitious brands grow through smart strategy and hands-on delivery. From campaign planning to full-funnel activation, we turn insights into results. Our culture is friendly, focused and built around doing great work that actually delivers great results.

The Role

This role is ideal for someone who brings 5+ years of hands-on experience managing paid campaigns on Meta and LinkedIn. You’ll be the go-to expert for performance-focused paid social, with plenty of room to contribute ideas and shape campaign strategies from the ground up.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, launch and optimise paid ad campaigns across Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and LinkedIn
• Manage campaign builds, budgets, testing frameworks and audience targeting
• Write engaging ad copy and provide input or briefs for creative assets
• Monitor performance and make data-led optimisations in-platform
• Report on campaign impact, sharing actionable insights with the team and clients
• Collaborate with account managers to align paid social with broader campaign goals
• Stay ahead of platform trends, updates and best practices
• Occasionally support or advise on other channels (e.g. TikTok, Google Ads) if relevant

‍You’ll thrive in this role if you...

• Have 5+ years’ experience managing Meta and LinkedIn Ads in a commercial setting (agency experience preferred)
• Are confident using Meta Ads Manager and LinkedIn Campaign Manager - from audience building to advanced reporting
• Understand what makes B2B and B2C campaigns tick, and can pivot between the two with ease
• Know how to optimise for both lead gen and ecommerce goals
• Are analytically minded but creatively curious - able to spot what’s underperforming and suggest why
• Are proactive, organised, and comfortable managing multiple clients and deadlines
• Work well independently but enjoy being part of a team that collaborates, challenges and supports
• Can commit to two days per week on-site in Liverpool

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Knowledge of Google Ads, TikTok Ads, or programmatic platforms
• Familiarity with public sector, healthcare or education campaigns

Why join Dock?

• Creative freedom. You won’t just follow templates, we’ll trust your expertise to shape campaigns that work
• Small team, big impact. Your work won’t disappear into layers of process, we move fast and celebrate wins
• Hybrid flexibility. You’ll split your time between our Liverpool studio and remote work

We know how important it is to enjoy coming to work every day, so we have lots of things in place that turn the idea of an average 9-5 on its head:

• New top spec machine of your choice
• Flexible hybrid-working
• Flexible working hours
• Annual personal training budget to be spent on professional development you choose
• Loyalty holiday days
• Christmas shut down
• Opportunities to go to conferences and industry events
• Training and entry to industry-recognised certifications
• Pension scheme
• City Centre onsite parking
• Secure indoor bike storage
• Opportunity to work on internal projects
• Great social/community events that come from working in the Baltic Triangle including monthly meet-ups and seasonal parties, helping to foster collaborative relationships within our community
