Role
Who you are
- You’re not only fantastic at the technical elements of paid social, but also great at direct response performance e-commerce marketing – meaning, you can identify the biggest audience opportunities and quickly capitalise on them by formulating an effective media strategy, directing the creative team on the best hooks, angles, and messaging, and maximize the opportunity by collaborating with the CRO team to create and optimise the necessary web conversion funnels
- You love 100% owning your campaigns from A-Z, not just the media buying aspect, but being accountable to ensure media, creative, conversions, etc. are all dialed in, and…
- You’re extremely analytical with the ability to quickly detect patterns in data
- You’re deeply experienced in the nuances of direct response video ads
- You have a knack for collaborating with creative teams to get the video ads just right
- You know how to synergise ads with congruent landing pages to maximize CVR and AOV
- You’re completely addicted to crushing it in paid social and can’t get enough of it
- Someone who knows the media buying trends of the UK inside and out and can not only continue to scale our growth but also support in optimising UK ad creative specifically for UK customers and dog owners
- We’re not just looking for any media buyer, we’re looking for someone who is a true direct response performance marketer who happens to specialise in video ads
- Someone who can look at the full funnel from the opportunity, through the audience, media strategy, creative, conversion funnel and all the technicals to get everything dialed in to fully own capitalising on the most promising opportunities
- 2 – 3 Years in DTC Paid Social – Managing £200k+ per month hands-on yourself in ad spend primarily on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok… bonus points for Snap and Pinterest
- Full Funnel Direct Response E-com Performance Marketer – Heavy exposure to direct response marketing in e-com context spanning strategy, media, creative and conversion
- Data Driven – Extremely comfortable diving deep into analytics platforms, spreadsheets, etc., to detect patterns on which to capitalise while leveraging the latest in data science
- Think Fast, Move Fast – Energised by a high-velocity, high-growth entrepreneurial environment with lots of ambiguity wherein conditions can change rapidly
- Driven to Excellence – A natural end-to-end ownership mentality with a relentless inner drive to excellence that other people find energising, inspiring and motivating
- Systems-Oriented – Strong organisational skills and with a knack for creating order out of chaos with highly organised systems that deliver sustained success
- Exceptional Communicator – A perceptive listener who quickly synthesise info and can formulate a methodical action plan that can be clearly articulated verbally and in writing
What the job involves
- We’re searching for a hands-on UK based paid social media buyer who has managed £200k+ in monthly video ad spend across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snap and Pinterest to join our acquisition team
- Now’s the time for a dedicated skilled pair of hands to capitalize on all the promising opportunities across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Pinterest
- You will work very closely with our UK Director and have lots of opportunity to put your stamp on not only the UK’s media buying process, but also our ad style and approach with UK pet owners
- What’s most exciting about this is the scale – once we get a particular product to scale in one platform or placement, we can quickly replicate that to other platforms and placements, at which point you may find yourself managing upwards of £250,000- £300,000 a month in spend
- But that requires strategy, planning, execution and extreme discipline and organisation
- You’re much more a P&L owner than you are a media buyer… and that should be something that energises you
- Clear Reporting – Getting accurate and timely data is crucial to enabling marketers to do their jobs, which is precisely what our standalone data analytics team delivers
- Collaborative Team – There are no silos here, we all understand that to win, we must help each other out as necessary, doing things outside our normal jobs when needed
- Scientific Rigor – Everyone on the marketing team shares the same philosophy to attack every challenge with an experimental test-and-learn process to tease out success
- Variety of Challenges – Given we’re just entering our 5th year as a company and growing rapidly, the challenges keep coming with new products, promotions, categories, etc
- Refreshing Autonomy – Expectations are always set high for anybody who joins the team, but so too is your autonomy to figure out how best to deliver against your objectives
- You’ll also find that everyone here listens – if something isn’t working, we respectfully call it out. If something is needed, those needs are heard. If there’s something we can do better, let’s hear it
- Here’s an approximate breakdown of how you’ll spend your time while taking full ownership of your ad spend, revenue and CPA / ROAS targets:
- 25% on Analysis – Diving into campaign / ad set / ad / experiment data across various dimensions (geo, placement, etc.) to pinpoint actionable insights to inform strategy
- 25% on Strategy – Identifying new opportunities to launch, existing campaigns to scale, trends to capitalize on, new buying/optimisation strategies to test, etc
- 25% on Execution – Hands-on inside the paid social accounts, configuring, managing, monitoring, optimising, and troubleshooting your campaigns / ad sets / ads / experiments
- 25% on Creative – Summarising performance data for the creative team to facilitate rapid iterations on new creative tests and building creative briefs on new ideas you want to test

Our take
Pet care has evolved rapidly over the past decade, with owners investing more in preventative health and wellness for their fur friends. This shift has fuelled strong growth in the global pet supplements and nutraceuticals market, particularly for product targeting joint health, dental care, digestion, and immunity.
PetLabCo. develops science-backed supplements designed to address common health issues ind ogs. The company was inspired by co-founder and co-CEO Chris Masanto, whose search for treatments for his dog's arthritis sparked an interest in better pet nutrition. Since then, PetLabCo. has built a direct-to-consumer brands across the US, Canada, and the UK, offering clinically informed products that support areas such as joint mobility, dental health, and digestion.
The company has grown rapidly too, scaling to more than $200M in annual revenue while building the operational systems needed to support international growth, including its use of Oracle NetSuite to streamline financial and inventory management. The company has also secured investment to accelerate research and development and expand into brick-and-mortar retail. So, with the pet wellness market continuing to grow, PetLabCo. is very well positioned to keep leading the pack.
