When Anita Roddick founded The Body Shop in 1976, she had a vision. Business as a force for good - that's us. Over 40 years later, we're proud to be pioneering cruelty-free beauty every step of the way. We're the original ethical beauty brand. We've got a thing for empowering people and enriching our planet. We're all about keeping it real, in every way possible. Our activist roots remain a huge part of everything we do, from our iconic window posters to our vegetarian products to our infamous campaigns. We're never afraid to stand up and speak the truth. We like to do things a little differently around here. 

The Body Shop, along with Aesop and Natura, is part of Natura & Co, a global, multi-channel and multi-brand cosmetics group that is committed to generating positive economic, social and environmental impact. Group owner Natura is Brazil's number one cosmetics manufacturer. Sustainable development has been the company's guiding principle since it was founded in 1969. In fact, this is an incredibly exciting time for The Body Shop. We're fighting for what we believe in now more than ever. No holding back. Breaking the mould has always come naturally to us, and we need someone who's not afraid to mix things up. 

How can a click on an advert make a difference to how we become more sustainable as a community? Might seem a bit ambitious - but that's how we think here at The Body Shop, and we need a Swedish and Danish speaking expert in Paid Search Marketing to help us turn our vision and purpose into reality through our online activities. What we do as a business day to day drives the revenue that funds our broader agenda as a force for good and a B-Corporation. It's what makes us unique. And very proud.

Our e-commerce business has experienced phenomenal growth over the last year and the future looks set to deliver more of the same across the globe. This means we need experts in all our regions to develop, deploy and optimise our paid search strategy including a specialism in Sweden and Denmark.

Reporting into the PPC Manager (EMEA) this key role will be tasked with delivering e-commerce revenues in Sweden and Denmark as well as heavily influencing retail revenues across the regions.

As an experienced Paid Search specialist, you'll be familiar with (and highly competent in) all the main activities that drive incremental revenue, profit and ROI from global paid search programmes, including in the following key areas:

Revenue Growth: Your expertise in developing AND executing strategies that deliver high value traffic and footfall will drive revenue and manage the investment in conversion and efficiency. You'll be motivated by the numbers and the results.

Technical capability: Accountability for optimising search activities in relevant search engines will keep your skills keen and honed, and your support for the team will include bid management technology algorithms, definition and deployment of test campaigns, expansion and testing of keyword coverage through to ad copy creative and landing page testing and more...

Partnerships: You'll work closely with search engines and 3rd party partners to test new paid search opportunities and optimisation techniques - keeping your knowledge up to date and relevant.

The ability to build effective working relationships internally extends beyond partners and your team to include other Body Shop internal functions such as Insight & Strategy, the Digital Hub and other key stakeholders - so communication and presentation skills will need to be strong.

Reporting: All the great progress and results needs to be shared internally - so you will be responsible for feeding your function's performance data into trading meetings, market level deep dives and into P&L reviews.

Leadership: We seek individuals who can outperform and extend beyond their remit, and you will be responsible for coaching and developing your team to be the very best they can be and to encourage them to be ambitious and eager to grow. It takes a special skill to spot and realise potential.

Vision: This role is not about standing still, it's about driving forwards and making great strides of incremental progress. You'll work closely with Search Marketing and Digital Marketing leadership to highlight key opportunities (and risks) and will share future plans with Commercial Teams globally. You'll look at (and input into) ways to implement channel synergies and part of a wider marketing mix. And be prepared to seek out new thinking and strategies from forums, conferences and in dialogue with your peers across other markets. The role drives change and improvement continuously.
