Account Manager (Paid Media)

Brisbane CBD | Hybrid or Remote (Australia) | Full-Time

You Understand The Work. That's Why Clients Trust You.

Most agencies hire Account Managers who can manage relationships but can't confidently challenge or interpret what's happening in the marketing.

We're not doing that.

We're looking for an Account Manager with solid Google Ads knowledge who can own client relationships while understanding the work well enough to lead meaningful conversations internally and externally.

You won't be hired to sit in Google Ads all day building campaigns.

We have media buyers for that.

Your job is to own the client relationship, understand their business, guide the strategy, communicate clearly and make sure the right people are accountable for the right work.

But to do that properly, you need real depth in Google Ads.

Deep enough to review performance before a client call.

Deep enough to understand what's driving results.

Deep enough to ask a media buyer the right questions, challenge an explanation when something doesn't stack up and help coach the team towards better strategic thinking.

You don't need to be the person making bid adjustments.

You do need to know what good looks like.

What You Need To Know, And What You Don'tYour Depth Is Google Ads

Google Ads should be one of your strongest areas of expertise.

You've worked with real accounts. You've developed strategy,



diagnosed performance issues and understand what drives results.

You understand campaign structure, keywords, search intent, budgets, bidding, conversion tracking and attribution.

You can look at performance and form your own view.

When a media buyer explains why performance dropped, you know enough to ask the right follow-up questions. You can tell the difference between a genuine diagnosis and a comfortable explanation.

You'll work closely with our media buyers, helping review strategy, identify opportunities and raise the level of thinking across the team.

Your Fluency Is The Wider Funnel

You don't need to be the expert in everything.

But you need to understand enough about the wider marketing ecosystem to know when the problem isn't the ad account.

Landing pages.

Offers.

Creative.

Conversion tracking.

Attribution.

SEO.

Email and follow-up.

You should be able to spot when one of these areas is affecting performance and know which specialist needs to be involved.

That's the whole point.

Clients get one person who understands their business and understands enough about the work to lead the right conversations.
