Join one of Sweden’s top 3 e-commerce companies!

Are you a confident leader with proven expertise in Display and Paid Social media? Do you have strong analytical skills and the ambition to push boundaries and raise the bar? If so, you might be the perfect fit for the Ellos team!

About the Role

Ellos is looking for a Social & Display Media Manager to lead the planning, execution, and optimization of Paid Social and Display advertising across the Nordic markets. This senior role offers you the opportunity to shape strategy, challenge the status quo, and drive visibility, reach, and performance throughout the entire media funnel — with a special focus on “See and Think” stage activities.

In this role, you will report directly to the CMO and collaborate closely with our media agency to define commercial goals, media budgets, and KPIs. You will then take ownership of executing these plans with precision and innovation. Your insights will be key to shaping Ellos’ future media strategy, and your leadership will inspire both internal teams and agency partners.

We’re looking for someone who is both a strategic thinker and a hands-on executor — someone who can blend creative experimentation with data-driven performance optimization.

• Lead cross-functional planning with the CMO and marketing leads to define campaign goals, investment levels, and KPIs across platforms.

• Drive media innovation by piloting new formats, technologies, and targeting strategies across Display and Paid Social.
• Manage and mentor collaboration with media agencies, ensuring best-in-class execution and knowledge transfer.
• Oversee campaign execution from briefing to launch, including A/B testing, creative evaluation, audience segmentation, and performance analysis.
• Forecast, monitor and analyze spend, ROI, and key performance indicators across platforms and campaigns.
• Strengthen our creative strategy by aligning messaging with performance learnings and platform-specific best practices.
• Promote media excellence through structured documentation, strategic playbooks, and team knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams, data analysts, and regional stakeholders to ensure alignment and growth.
• Identify opportunities for cross-channel integration, up-selling and local-market innovation.
• Track cost efficiency together with our Marketing strategist to ensure budget effectiveness across campaigns.

Your Background & Experience

Must-Have Experience:

• 5+ years in Paid Social and Display/Programmatic Advertising, preferably in Fashion retail or e-commerce.
• Demonstrated experience in managing large-scale campaigns across platforms like Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Pinterest, Google CM/DV360, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, etc.
• Strong hands-on experience with analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Meta Ads Manager, and campaign dashboards.
• Experience working with or leading agency teams.
• Proven ability to drive measurable performance results while also supporting upper-funnel brand activities.

Nice to Have:

• Nordic market experience or fluency in a Scandinavian language.
• Experience with dynamic creative optimization and creative testing frameworks.
• Familiarity with tools like Google Data Studio, Excel advanced modelling, or attribution tools.

Your Skill Set & Personal Traits

• Strategic mindset with the ability to zoom out for vision and zoom in for detail.
• Comfortable challenging the status quo and introducing new ideas backed by data.
• Strong communicator and presenter with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
• Analytical and commercially minded – you understand not just what performs, but why.
• Creative thinker who understands how creative impacts performance and
• how to test it.
• A collaborative team player who thrives on knowledge sharing and growth.
• Proactive, self-driven, and committed to excellence in execution.
