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.

What you'll be doing n

n
- Building, running and optimising Google campaigns yourself
n
- 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
n
- Guiding and reviewing the work of our experienced Meta specialists
n
- Working directly with clients:



presenting results, explaining performance and recommending what's next

- Producing monthly reports with clear insights, not just numbers
n

n
- Proven experience scaling six‑figure monthly budgets without losing efficiency (the hard part)
n
- Confident with clients, and able to explain a CPA spike without hiding behind acronyms
n
- Experience guiding other specialists, including remote or offshore team members
n
- 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 nn
- 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
n

Details nn
