Performance Marketing Analyst

Making Science believes in inspiring the growth of our clients and our colleagues by encouraging collaboration, nurturing creativity, and embracing opportunity.
This isn’t a typical advertising agency opportunity. Unlike big global agencies, you won’t be stuck in one role type. You’ll gain exposure to all areas of the business and have lots of variety in your day-to-day work. Making Science has a great working environment and is based in the heart of London’s West End.
We do everything we can to make our culture collaborative and caring, with an openness that invites growth and sharing knowledge. We want this role to accelerate your career in digital advertising and help you to play a major part in growing Making Science. We can offer you the chance to become a leading figure within the company while broadening your experience on multiple digital acquisition channels.

The role
We’re looking for someone with a Maths (or similar) degree that had a big emphasis on data and data analysis.
No experience required but any experience of running paid digital campaigns on any of the major platforms (Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok, Google Search, UAC, GDN, Apple Search Ads) would be beneficial.
We’re looking for a person who will be able to contribute to the success of Making Science by utilising their skills to manage digital campaigns.
You will work closely with your line manager and Pod/Account Manager and the rest of the Performance team, led by the Head of Performance.
You will work across every aspect of digital advertising from planning, strategy, creative briefing and set-up to execution, analysis, optimisation and client management.
