That matters here, because this role sits right between Paid Search and Paid Social, two channels that behave differently inside a team that's brand new and still building its own processes. You're used to building your own structure and navigating an environment where self-leadership is at the heart of everything you do. In other words you have skills in: Hands-on experience running and optimizing campaigns in Paid Search and/or Paid Social (Search experience is a plus) A real, practical understanding of how media buying works end to end: setup, execution and reporting.

Self-led: you build the process when it isn't there yet, instead of waiting for someone to hand it to you Collaborative You don't need to tick every single box to apply. We care more about capability, perspective, and how you think than about counting years or buzzwords. If you've done most of this and you're hungry for the rest, we want to hear from you. Why Lyko? You'll be part of one of the largest digital media operations in Sweden, always part of the conversation and often first in line for alpha and beta tests from our platform partners.
