Take the stage. Build the business. Help shape a national workshop brand from the ground floor.

Online Marketing Gurus, the largest independently owned digital marketing agency in

Australia, is taking what it knows to business owners directly. OMG Academy's in-person workshop program has already proven itself with workshops run across Australia.

Now we need a General Manager to step in.

If you know Google Ads and Meta Ads inside out, own a room when you present, love closing a deal, and get energised by a packed travel calendar, this is the role you've been waiting for.

Why OMG Academy

OMG manages campaigns for some of Australia's best-known brands. OMG Academy flips that model: we teach small and medium business owners and marketing teams to run profitable Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns themselves.

General Manager – OMG Academy Workshops The engine of that is our two-day, in-person paid advertising workshop. No inspire-and-

forget seminars. Attendees build real campaigns in the room, get instant feedback on their own accounts, and walk out with live Google Ads and Meta Ads running and a clear plan to grow.

The proof of concept is done. We've run four workshops across Australia, attendees are getting results (one reported more than $30,000 in new revenue from Google Ads leads),
