About Social Nucleus
Social Nucleus is a performance advertising agency built for modern ecommerce brands and built differently. We manage over £35 million in annual ad spend, helping the world’s most ambitious brands scale faster, smarter, and more profitably.
We’ve eliminated the grind work that slows most media buyers down. Automated reporting. Instant ad builds. Proprietary AI tools that take care of the boring stuff.
Why? So you can focus on what actually drives growth strategy, creative direction, and performance thinking.
We’re growing fast and we’re building the next generation of thinkers and that starts here.
The Role: Growth Strategist
You’ve run campaigns. You understand Meta. You’ve dabbled in data, creative, maybe even strategy but haven’t yet owned the full picture.
This role is your launchpad to becoming a Growth Strategist.
At Social Nucleus, you’ll join a high-performance team working on serious ecommerce brands. You’ll shadow senior strategists, contribute to planning and briefs, and gradually take on more ownership. You won’t be building endless ads or stuck in reporting loops. Our internal tools handle that.
Your focus? Learning how to think like a strategist commercially, creatively, and data-first.
You’ll be supported by a pod including a Creative Strategist, Designer, and Google Ads Specialist, and given the space, training, and mentorship to level up fast.
This isn’t a media buying job. This is a stepping stone to leading growth strategy.
What You’ll Own
Strategy & Commercial Thinking
Support the development of performance strategies learning how creative, media, and backend economics come together.
Help build marketing calendars aligned to launches, trends, and trading moments.
Begin to understand how stock, margin, and product positioning impact scale decisions.
Media Buying Foundations
Assist in launching and monitoring Paid ads with internal tools that slash build time.
Contribute to test planning, structure strategy, and campaign implementation.
Work closely with your strategist and Google specialist to learn multi-channel alignment.
Creative Support
Help write and structure creative briefs based on performance trends, competitor research, and internal data.
Support the Creative Strategist and Designer to produce varied, high-converting assets.
Learn how to think in angles, hooks, and formats not just sizes and specs.
Data & Performance Insight
Support reporting with clear summaries, flagged trends, and performance notes.
Dig into Meta, Shopify, and Triple Whale to spot early-stage insights.
Learn how to move beyond “metrics” and towards “leverage”.
Client Support & Development
Lead strategy calls and learn how to communicate performance clearly.
You’ll bring decks, insights, and recommendations.
Gradually build confidence and voice in presenting your own ideas.
You’ll Thrive If You…
Have 1–2 years of paid media experience and are hungry to level up.
Are obsessed with ecommerce and how brands actually grow.
Are ready to ditch the ad-building hamster wheel and think more strategically.
Love great creative, sharp performance, and clear, proactive comms.
Want to work on bigger brands, bigger budgets, and a bigger vision.
