About the Company:
A fast-growing D2C brand creating viral, social-first consumer products. Since launching in 2021, they’ve built a reputation for bold creativity, rapid iteration, and high-impact marketing. With a lean, collaborative team based in Central London, they’re on track to hit 8-figure revenue in under five years and they are just getting started!
This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing start up and really make a mark, and will suit someone with a blend of analytical, commercial and creative skills.
The Role:
As Paid Social Specialist, you’ll play a key role in helping the company hit and surpass its growth objectives. You’ll lead strategy and execution across Paid Social activities, focussing on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok. In this role, you’ll be involved in all areas of campaign planning, launching, testing, and optimisation, identifying opportunities to more effectively target audiences and drive conversions.
You’ll also help shape landing page strategy, ensuring pages are optimised to drive conversions.
Day to day responsibilities will include:


  • Manage the full lifecycle of paid campaigns across Meta (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, and TikTok Shop, focusing on strategic launch and optimisation.

  • Partner with creatives to define content needs, brief assets, and drive ad creative iteration.

  • Lead testing initiatives for critical elements, including ad copy, attention-grabbing hooks, and dedicated landing pages.

  • Maintain accountability for weekly performance reporting and continuous optimisation to achieve best-in-class ROAS and drive testing velocity.

  • Hold end-to-end ownership of the entire customer acquisition funnel, encompassing both top-of-funnel awareness and conversion-focused retargeting.

What We’re Looking For:
You’re someone who lives and breathes paid social, constantly learning, testing, and staying ahead of the curve. You’ll need to be confident managing Meta campaigns profitably on first purchase, with tight margins and low AOV. Experience with TikTok Ads, D2C landing page optimisation, and consumer goods is highly desirable.
Must-haves:

  • Proven Meta Ads experience (Facebook, Instagram)
  • Strong grasp of funnel strategy, creative testing, and attribution
  • Analytical mindset with a bias for action
  • Ability to optimise for low AOV and minimal LTV
    Nice-to-haves:
  • TikTok Ads and TikTok Shop experience
  • Familiarity with Shopify and landing page CRO
  • Exposure to Reddit, Pinterest, or Snapchat Ads
    What’s In It For You:
  • Join a high-growth brand with a bold, creative culture
  • Autonomy and ownership from day one
  • Central Soho office with stocked kitchens and regular socials
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Hybrid working (1 day WFH)
  • Pension scheme
  • Free products and access to local perks
    Ready to apply?
    If you’re a sharp, creative, and analytical thinker who loves performance marketing and wants to help scale a bold, fun brand we’d love to hear from you.
    If this role excites you but you don't tick every box, we still encourage you to apply!

How Many UAV Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UAV Job?

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in UAV Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re aiming for roles in UAV design, robotics/controls engineering, autonomy & computer vision, flight test & certification, embedded systems, operations, ground control software, systems integration or regulatory compliance, the way you present yourself in an application can make or break your chances — and that often happens before the hiring manager reads past your first few lines. In the UK UAV/jobs market, recruiters and hiring managers scan applications rapidly. They look for relevant experience, measurable delivery, technical credibility, domain awareness and safety/regulatory understanding — often making a decision within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in UAV applications, why those signals matter, and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you get noticed — not filtered out.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.
