- You'll work within our Marketing team at Not On The High Street, reporting to the Head of Marketing and sitting alongside the Creative Social Strategy Manager & Retention Strategy Manager, with a Performance Marketing Executive reporting into you

- Hands-on management & buying: Own the day-to-day management, optimisation and buying across Paid Social platforms, with a primary focus on Meta and a growing footprint across TikTok, Pinterest and other emerging platforms
- Audience & funnel strategy: Build out audience targeting, segmentation and retargeting strategies in line with our wider full-funnel approach
- Creative collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with the Creative Social Strategy Manager, feeding performance data and audience insights into their creative briefs and providing structured feedback on creative performance
- Campaign setup & QA: Build, launch and QA campaigns, ensuring product feeds, pixels, tracking and audiences are correctly configured and aligned across platforms
- Full-funnel testing strategy: Own the audience, creative and incrementality testing roadmap across Paid Search and Paid Social, flexing budget between channels and platforms as performance dictates
- Budget planning: Own budget planning and pacing across brand and performance marketing, ensuring spend is allocated efficiently against business goals
- Data, analysis & reporting: Provide consolidated, single source-of-truth reporting on paid performance, surfacing insights and recommendations to the Head of Marketing and wider SLT
- Audience & measurement infrastructure: Own our audience data, tracking and measurement set-up across the paid ecosystem ensuring we can attribute and learn from every test
- Stakeholder collaboration: Liaise with key stakeholders across the business, including the Creative Social Strategy Manager, Brand & Experience, Commercial and Technology, to create unified, cross-channel campaigns

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Notonthehighstreet have found a niche within eCommerce, providing a curated online platform for small businesses.
They currently have 5,000 small businesses selling their unique products on the platform and their business model is similar to Etsy.
Amazon are increasingly doubling down on their marketplace proposition and are powerful competition for Notonthehighstreet. However, their user base is one that values the uniqueness and curation they provide, so this should provide them with a competitive advantage.
