ABOUT US
Benedictus Media is a boutique full-service media agency established in 2008.
We take pride in our commitment to provide ethical media buying and planning services for cause related & purpose focussed brands, maximising their communications’ effectiveness through a genuinely transparent & results-driven approach.
We became the first B Corp certified media agency in 2016 and remain energised by our purpose to do better for our people, our clients, and the planet. We want to create positive change through advertising, whilst leading the charge to reduce emissions and raise ethical standards in advertising.
Our clients include the only ‘clean’ QSR, Guzman Y Gomez, ethical investment fund and ESG leader Australian Ethical, UTS, The Australian Marine Conservation Society and The Benevolent Society, amongst others.
We do not and will not work with clients who do not share our ethical stance. So no unethical industries such as fossil fuels or fast fashion, heavy polluters, businesses with bad labour practices and we prioritise working to help clients who aspire to driving better outcomes for people, planet and the natural world.
THE ROLE
This is a unique opportunity for a Performance Director to join our expanding team.
The Performance Director will work within the media team and provide best practice digital media planning, buying and performance across BM clients, always looking to buy media more effectively to drive optimal client outcomes whilst minimising environmental impact, leaning on their digital performance marketing experience and knowledge of the tools.
Whilst today the role is focused across traditionally defined digital performance channels (eg SEM, affiliates, programmatic display, social, etc.), our ambition is to broaden performance thinking to become more channel agnostic. As we embark on our next stage of growth, there will be an opportunity to apply performance skill sets across a broader range of channels and tactics.
The Performance Director is responsible for leading the agency’s performance marketing function, driving strategic direction, commercial outcomes, and operational excellence across all client accounts. This role moves beyond campaign management into holistic performance leadership,

- Ensure accuracy in reporting, billing, and financial reconciliation across all client activity.
