The Role
Weβre looking for a Head of Amazon PPC & Client Services to lead advertising strategy, oversee key client relationships, and drive high standards across our client portfolio.
Working directly with the CEO and COO, youβll be the strategic go-to person for key clients and our internal PPC team. Youβll combine hands-on involvement in Amazon advertising with team leadership, shaping strategy, strengthening client partnerships, and improving how we deliver results.
β¨ Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to take the next step in your career and have a broader impact on the business.
βͺοΈ For experienced Team Leads: Step into a broader leadership role with greater strategic ownership, direct client engagement, and influence across the team.
βͺοΈ For established Heads of PPC and Retail Media Directors: Shape advertising strategy, strengthen agency operations, and build high-level client partnerships while working closely with the CEO and COO.
If youβre ready to move beyond day-to-day campaign management and take greater ownership of strategy, people, and business outcomes, this could be your next move.
π― What You Will Own
π€ Client Relationships & Escalations
βͺοΈ Take senior ownership of key client relationships and act as the main escalation point for complex or high-impact situations.
βͺοΈ Support Team Leads in navigating strategic trade-offs between growth, profitability, and market defence.
βͺοΈ Lead critical client conversations to resolve challenges, align expectations, and strengthen long-term partnerships.
π Advertising Strategy & Best Practices
βͺοΈ Own and continuously improve Headlineβs Amazon advertising strategy across PPC and DSP, covering profitability, ranking, growth, and market defence.
βͺοΈ Define strategic principles for campaign structure, experimentation, and budget allocation.
βͺοΈ Turn data and performance insights into repeatable approaches, moving the team from reactive optimisation to structured, proactive decision-making.
π₯ Team & Quality Leadership
βͺοΈ Lead and develop 3 Team Leads, strengthening their strategic thinking and decision-making.
βͺοΈ Set and maintain high standards for advertising strategy and execution across client accounts.
βͺοΈ Challenge weak or misaligned strategies and drive consistent quality across the team.
β
Who This Role Is For
You could be a great fit if you:
βͺοΈ Have 4+ years of experience in Amazon advertising or marketplace management.
βͺοΈ Have experience with AMC and Amazon PPC/DSP integration.
βͺοΈ Bring proven people-management experience, ideally leading team leads.
βͺοΈ Have managed substantial advertising budgets and complex client accounts.
βͺοΈ Are confident working directly with founders and senior stakeholders.
βͺοΈ Enjoy developing people, building strong processes, and setting strategic standards, not just optimising campaigns.
βͺοΈ Think beyond ACOS, balancing profitability, growth, and market share.
βͺοΈ Want meaningful ownership, the autonomy to make decisions, and the opportunity to shape how an agency operates and grows.
This role is best suited to someone who enjoys being hands-on while leading at a strategic level, rather than working in a purely advisory capacity or within a highly corporate environment.
π° Compensation & Growth Opportunities
We believe compensation should reflect the value you bring and the impact you make as the business grows.
βͺοΈ Compensation structure: A base salary plus a performance-based component, typically linked to a percentage of managed billable revenue.
βͺοΈ Long-term opportunity: The opportunity to grow with Headline and potentially become a long-term partner as we build the next stage of the business together.
πΏ Why Join Headline?
βͺοΈ Real ownership: Influence advertising strategy, client relationships, and team performance.
βͺοΈ Meaningful scale: Work with substantial advertising budgets and established brands across Europe and the US.
βͺοΈ Experienced team: Lead 3 Team Leads and approximately 12 Amazon advertising specialists.
βͺοΈ Direct access to leadership: Work closely with the CEO and COO, with room to shape how the business operates.
βͺοΈ Remote flexibility: Work remotely from Europe.
βͺοΈ The opportunity to grow with us and become a long-term partner as we build the next stage of the business together.
