Job Description
3 days a week · Richmond, VIC (hybrid) · Contract or permanent
n
Some people look at an ads dashboard and their eyes glaze over. You see a story: what's working, what's wasting money, and exactly what you'll change on Monday morning.
n
We're after a senior, strategic performance marketer who just gets paid, and still loves getting into the ad accounts. This is a hands-on role: you'll build, run and optimise campaigns yourself, as well as set the strategy.
About Head On n
We've spent 15 years making content, brands, websites and shows for businesses that want to stand out. We started as a production studio, so we care about ads that look great and perform. Our paid team runs Meta and Google for brands across health and wellness, e-commerce and lead generation, and we're looking for someone to lead it.
The role n
You'll own paid performance across our client and internal accounts, from the first strategy doc to the result that makes a client's week. You'll set the plan, manage budgets from small to $500k+ a month, and be the person clients trust to tell them what's really going on.

Building, running and optimising Google campaigns yourself

Setting paid strategy across Meta and Google: funnel structure, audiences and testing plans
n
Allocating and pacing budgets of every size, including accounts spending $500k+ a month

Organised, responsive and happy being the go‐to person for your accounts
n
Bonus points: CRO, landing pages, email, or other paid channels like TikTok and Pinterest
n
Why Head On n
n
A senior role on a 3‐day week, ideal if you're returning to work or stepping back from full-time without stepping down in seniority
n
Real ownership: you set the strategy and do the work, so you see your thinking through to the result
n
A small, creative team in the same room, with video, design and content producers making the ads you'll run
n
Adaptable structure: we're open to starting on contract with a view to making it permanent
