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 required. 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
