Performance Marketing Specialist
Job Description
Performance Marketing Specialist (Paid Media)
London (Hybrid) — UK-based applicants only (no sponsorship)
£45,000 - £65,000 (depending on experience)
The Role
This is not a “manage the agency” role.
You will be in the platforms every day , directly responsible for performance.
We are looking for a hands-on Performance Marketing Specialist to take full ownership of paid acquisition across a premium private dental group.
Your focus will be simple:
- Generate high-quality patient enquiries
- Improve cost per lead and conversion rates
- Ensure spend translates into real booked patients , not just leads
The Environment
You will be working in a highly competitive private healthcare market where:
- Cost per click is high
- Competition is intense
- Performance matters daily
This is very different from lower-pressure B2B or low-budget campaigns.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Managing campaigns directly within Google Ads (Search-led) and Meta
- Structuring and optimising high-intent Search campaigns
- Continuously refining keywords, bidding, targeting and ad copy
- Improving lead quality , not just volume
- Identifying inefficiencies and reducing wasted spend
- Working closely with landing pages and user journeys to improve conversion
- Analysing data and making clear, commercially driven decisions
- Managing campaigns across multiple clinics with different positioning
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- Proven hands-on experience managing Google Ads (Search-led) and Meta
- Experience in lead generation (not eCommerce)
- Experience managing meaningful budgets (£20K+/month)
- Strong understanding of CPA, CPL and lead quality
- Ability to clearly explain what you did and the impact it had
- Excellent spoken and written English
- Confidence communicating performance to stakeholders
Preferred
- Experience in high-CPC, competitive markets
- Healthcare, dental or similar lead gen experience
This Role Is NOT Suitable For
- Generalist marketers
- Brand, content or social media-focused roles
- Candidates without hands-on Google Ads experience
- Candidates who have only managed agencies rather than run campaigns directly
- eCommerce-only backgrounds
About the Business
We are a London-based dental group combining:
- A premium private clinic (Dental by Design )
- A specialist dental laboratory (Vivo Dental Lab )
- A growing network of partner clinics across the UK
- Inserta , our implant manufacturing business
This creates a fully integrated model across clinical, laboratory and manufacturing capabilities.

Please include a brief summary of:
- Campaigns you have personally managed
- Monthly budget levels
- Platforms used
- Specific results achieved (e.g. CPA/CPL improvements, conversion rate increases, scaling performance)
