User Acquisition Manager (PPC)

Capital.com is hiring a UA Manager (PPC) to own paid acquisition performance across our Asia and Australia markets. You’ll join a team of regional specialists with day-to-day accountability for campaign performance, budget efficiency, and growth against regional revenue and ROAS targets. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role: you will manage live campaigns directly, not oversee an agency at arm’s length. Google Ads is the core of the role; paid social experience is a valuable bonus but not a requirement. What you’ll do: • Own and optimise Google Ads (Search, PMax, UAC, Display, YouTube) campaigns across Asia and Australia markets — this is the primary focus of the role. • Where capacity and skillset allow, extend into paid social (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat) to support the broader regional media mix. • Manage budget pacing and reallocation across markets and channels within your regions. • Deliver against regional KPI targets: ROAS and CPA per first-time deposit. • Run structured A/B tests on creative, bidding strategy, and audience targeting; report results with clear before/after evidence. • Monitor and account for iOS attribution limitations (ATT/SKAD), PMax’s lack of placement-level visibility, and regional regulatory constraints (e.g. licensing regimes across Asia markets) when planning campaigns. • Localise campaign strategy to market nuance: language, competitive landscape, regulatory regime (e.g. ASIC in Australia; varied licensing across Asia markets), and payment/funding behaviour. • Partner with regional marketing and compliance stakeholders on creative sign-off and go-to-market timing. • Liaise directly with Google (and, where relevant, Meta/TikTok/Snapchat) account teams on platform features, budget commitments, and escalations. • Maintain a weekly reporting cadence on spend, revenue, ROAS, and CPA for your regions, flagging anomalies before they show up in monthly numbers. What we’re looking for: • 3+ years of hands-on PPC management, with fintech, trading, or regulated financial services experience is a must have. You understand compliance-driven creative constraints, deposit-based KPIs, and CFD/trading audience behaviour — this is not transferable from a generic e-commerce or app-growth background without a steep ramp-up. • Direct, deep platform experience in Google Ads (Search, PMax, UAC) — this is the core requirement. • Paid social platform experience (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat Ads Manager) is a strong bonus, not a requirement. • Working knowledge of mobile attribution constraints (iOS ATT/SKAD, modelled vs deterministic conversion data). • Comfort operating across multiple markets and currencies simultaneously; prior exposure to APAC or ANZ paid media specifically is a strong plus. • Analytical fluency: able to read a performance dashboard and turn it into a budget or bidding decision without hand-holding. • Experience working within a regulated advertising environment (financial promotions rules, regional ad standards bodies) is a plus; willingness to learn the company’s compliance doctrine is a requirement. • Fluent written and verbal English; additional Asia-region language skills (Mandarin, Vietnamese, Bahasa) are a plus but not required.
