Performance Marketing Executive

Radar is a founder-led digital agency based in the Vanilla Factory, Liverpool city centre, working with a growing roster of clients across the UK in a wide range of sectors. We look after paid media, SEO, tracking, reporting, CRM and websites, and we judge ourselves on the results we deliver for clients, not vanity metrics.

Up to now we've worked with a trusted network of freelancers and a fractional team. We're now building out our in-person team in Liverpool, and this is a core role at the heart of it. You'll work closely with me (Max, the founder), take on real responsibility early, and play a leading part in shaping how the team works and grows. Within three to six months you'll be running accounts end to end and looking after your own clients.

Shape Your Own Role

This is a broad digital role rather than a single-channel one, and there's real scope to grow it towards the areas you enjoy and are best at. Day to day you'll work across:

Paid Media

Google Ads and Meta Ads, from planning and setup through to ongoing optimisation.

SEO

Keyword research, on-page and technical improvements, and content planning.

Data and Analysis

Digging into campaign performance, tracking in GA4 and Google Tag Manager, and turning the numbers into clear recommendations.

Dashboards and Reporting

We've built our own Radar reporting software, so putting a client dashboard together is quick. The skill we care about is knowing what a client actually needs to see - which numbers matter to them, and how to present them so the story is clear.

Automations

Helping build the workflows, CRM automations and AI tools that make the agency run more smoothly.

Websites and Creative

Getting hands-on with client websites and landing pages - building pages, making updates and testing changes. You don't need to be a developer, just willing to learn how good design and creative influence decisions and conversion rates.

Clients

Joining client calls, then gradually leading them, and writing clear briefs for designers and content writers.

What You Get

• £30,000 - £35,000 depending on experience, reviewed after six months.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Hybrid working once you're up to speed (office-based at the start while you learn the ropes).
• Ongoing training across paid media, SEO, analytics and the AI tools we use day to day.
• A clear route to Senior Executive as Radar grows.

How It Works

Send your CV or LinkedIn profile and we'll reply to everyone within 5 working days. Then a 15-minute call with Max, followed by a face-to-face chat at the Vanilla Factory. We're interviewing as applications come in.

Requirements

• At least 1 year of hands-on digital marketing experience, ideally including Google Ads or Meta Ads - agency, in-house or your own projects.
• Comfortable with spreadsheets and numbers - you can tell from the data whether something is working.
• Curious about why people click, enquire and buy - and how design, copy and creative affect that.
• Clear writing - client emails, reports and briefs that don't need rewriting.
• Organised enough to juggle several accounts and deadlines without things slipping.
• Happy to be in the Vanilla Factory office while you learn the ropes.

Nice to Have

• GA4 and Google Tag Manager - setting up conversions and fixing broken tracking.
• SEO tools such as Semrush, Search Console or Screaming Frog.
• Experience reporting to clients, or a view on what data clients want to see and how to present it.
• Building automations (Zapier, Make or a CRM such as GoHighLevel).
• Building or editing websites and landing pages (WordPress, Elementor or similar), or a basic eye for design.
• Google Ads or Meta certifications, and agency experience with several clients at once.

Don't tick every box? Please still apply.

If there are gaps, we're happy to chat about them - the person matters more to us than the immediate skill set, and we'd really love to hear from you.
