Job Description

We're on the lookout for a talented Paid Media Specialist to join our Client Performance team.

Zeal is a full-service digital and creative agency based in Leeds. We help brands thrive with work that's as effective as it is exciting - whether that's paid media, content, websites or campaigns. We've got big ideas, northern charm, and a no-nonsense attitude that gets results.

You'll need a solid track record of managing paid search and paid social campaigns (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok - you name it), and you'll have digital agency experience under your belt.

Why work for Zeal?

We offer hybrid working, with three days a week in our Leeds city centre office and two days remote. Hours are flexible, and we're big believers in work-life balance. We also make time to have fun together - from team trips and Friday beers to lunchtime pub walks and the occasional impromptu ping-pong tournament.
