WHO ARE WE? We're a well-established, highly regarded digital agency with a strong reputation for delivering exceptional marketing solutions for some of Australia's most recognisable brands.

With a collaborative and supportive culture at its core, this is an agency where people are trusted to do their best work, encouraged to bring ideas to the table and given the flexibility to work in a way that suits them. You'll be joining a high-performing team that genuinely values teamwork over hierarchy. You'll have access to experienced consultants and specialists around you, while still having the autonomy and seniority to own strategy, make decisions and lead client relationships.

You'll be responsible for the full Paid Media strategy and planning, while remaining genuinely hands-on in platform. This isn't a role where you'll simply oversee a team and delegate execution,

- Leading the Paid Media strategy and media planning for a major Tier 1 client
- Managing significant budgets across platforms
- Remaining hands-on with campaign setup, optimisation, bidding, audiences, creative testing and performance analysis
- Developing channel strategies and media plans aligned to wider business and commercial objectives
- Owning senior-level client relationships and confidently presenting strategic recommendations
- Working with consultants and specialists to bring together data, insights and channel expertise
- Identifying opportunities to improve performance, efficiency and scalability
- Leading testing and innovation across platforms, audiences, creative and measurement




- Using data to challenge assumptions and influence both client and internal decision-making
- Supporting the wider Paid Media team through knowledge sharing, collaboration and mentoring

WE NEED YOU TO HAVE...

- Strong agency experience within Paid Media / Performance Marketing
- Proven hands-on expertise across both Google Ads and Meta
- Experience managing large budgets and complex, high-value accounts
- Strong strategic capability across media planning, channel strategy and performance forecasting
- The ability to move comfortably between high-level strategy and hands-on platform execution
- Strong commercial understanding and the ability to connect Paid Media activity to wider business objectives
- Experience presenting to and influencing senior-level clients
- Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn performance data into clear, actionable recommendations
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to lead client conversations

- Someone who enjoys being hands-on, gets into the detail and genuinely understands what makes campaigns perform
