Paid Ads Specialist at AEK Media. Mid level, full-time, office based in Crows Nest, Sydney NSW. Marketing team.

About the job: AEK Media is one of Australia's fastest-growing agencies and a finalist in AFR Best Places to Work 2026. As our Paid Ads Specialist you will run Google Ads, Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads for a portfolio of ambitious brands across Healthcare, Law, eCommerce and B2B. You will own your accounts day to day, build your own strategies and work with an award-winning team across creative, content, SEO and web to turn ad spend into real business growth, not just clicks.

You'll be responsible for: (1) Running accounts end to end: plan, build and optimise campaigns across Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, YouTube), Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads, managing budgets and pacing against each client's goals. (2) Building your own paid strategies: work back from the client's revenue or lead target to the channel mix, funnel and offer, and judge success on cost per lead, cost per acquisition and return on ad spend rather than impressions. (3) Creative and landing page testing: brief our video, design and web teams on ad creative and landing pages, run structured tests and scale what works. (4) Tracking and reporting: keep conversion tracking accurate in GA4 and Google Tag Manager, and explain performance to clients in plain English with clear next steps.





Key criteria: (1) Paid media experience: 2+ years hands-on managing Google Ads and Meta Ads accounts, ideally in an agency. (2) LinkedIn Ads exposure: experience running or supporting B2B campaigns on LinkedIn. (3) Analytical skills: proven ability to read the data, find what is driving results and optimise campaigns. (4) Tracking knowledge: comfortable with GA4, Google Tag Manager and conversion tracking. (5) Communication skills: solid verbal and written skills for working with clients and the team. (6) Fast-paced adaptability: experience managing multiple accounts in a dynamic environment.

Before we jump into the responsibilities of the role. No matter what you come in knowing, you’ll be learning new things all the time and the AEK Media team will be there to support your growth.
