Company Description

We're Checkout.com - you might not know our name, but companies like eBay, ASOS, Klarna, Uber Eats, and Sony do. That moment when you check out online? We make it happen.


Checkout.com is where the world checks out. Our global network powers billions of transactions every year, making money move without making a fuss. We spent years perfecting a service most people will never notice. Because when digital payments just work, businesses grow, customers stay, and no one stops to think about why.


With 19 offices spanning six continents, we feel at home everywhere - but London is our HQ. Wherever our people work their magic, they're fast-moving, performance-obsessed, and driven by being better every day. Ideal. Because a role here isn't just another job; it's a career-defining opportunity to build the future of fintech.

We are seeking a dynamic and data-driven Manager, Paid Media to help shape and scale Checkout.com's growing media buying efforts. This role is central to ensuring our campaigns, across both offline and digital channels, are not only impactful but measurable, performance-oriented, and aligned with business outcomes.


Reporting into the Director of Growth Marketing, you will oversee the strategy, planning, and execution of paid media campaigns, spanning across both offline and online channels. Your focus will be on defining KPIs, ensuring data-led execution, and translating insights into optimization strategies. From billboards and podcast sponsorships to digital campaigns on social media, connected TV and beyond - you'll help ensure Checkout.com's media investments are smart, efficient, and effective. You'll partner closely with agencies and internal stakeholders to ensure campaigns deliver measurable impact and align with our broader growth objectives.


This is an exciting opportunity to shape how Checkout.com shows up in front of the world and play a pivotal role in driving global demand and long-term brand equity.

How you'll make an impact:

Data-led strategy: Shape campaign media plans across offline and digital channels with a focus on KPIs, analytics, and measurable business impact. Performance measurement: Define success metrics, track results, and use MarTech and analytics tools to optimize campaigns continuously. Agency and partner collaboration: Work closely with media agencies, media publishers and outlets, as well as internal stakeholders to ensure execution excellence, transparency, and alignment with the campaign goals. Cross-channel integration: Lead campaign integration across media formats including OOH, podcasts, digital sponsorships and display, ensuring they align seamlessly with broader marketing initiatives. Strategic budget planning: Develop and manage channel-level investment strategies to maximize impact across offline and online media. Translate campaign objectives into data-backed allocations to ensure efficiency, transparency, and a clear link to measurable outcomes.
Collaboration: Partner with brand, campaigns, and regional teams to ensure media amplifies and accelerates strategic priorities. Experimentation: Recommend and test new media formats, placements, measurement approaches, and tools to push innovation and effectiveness.

What we're looking for:

Experience: 5-7 years in marketing or media, with a strong foundation in paid media strategy and performance measurement. Exposure to offline channels (OOH, sponsorships, partnerships) alongside digital is preferred. Experience in B2B or FinTech is a plus. Digital marketing expertise: Experience working with media publishers and networks, buying media at an Enterprise scale. Managing PPC or digital display campaigns, especially on LinkedIn, is valuable but not a must. Agency expertise: Skilled at working with and directing media agencies, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and performance-driven results. Negotiation skills: Proven ability to secure favorable terms and build productive partnerships with external stakeholders.
Analytical mindset: Comfortable defining KPIs, working with data, and applying measurement tools to optimize campaigns and demonstrate ROI. Martech fluency: Familiarity with marketing technology and analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Looker, attribution tools, Salesforce) to support performance tracking. Project management: Highly organized, superb attention to detail, able to prioritize and manage multiple campaigns and stakeholders simultaneously. Innovative approach: Appetite to test, learn, and push the boundaries of both traditional and digital media. Collaborative teammate: Effective cross-functional partner in a fast-paced, global environment.
