What we’re looking for

We’re looking for that someone who is uniquely amazing at what they do, enjoys working with cool, smart people and is looking to join our team on a full-time gig.

If you’ve got a couple of years experience working in performance marketing and are looking for a healthier balance in your working life, and maybe even move out of the city, this role is for you.

While we get to know each other and learn where we can crank, stretch and best innovate, the core focus will be a number of different performance marketing and digital advertising projects for our most-valued clients. This is a hands‑on role with no direct reports: you’ll own your clients’ campaigns, from straight‑up campaign builds, pacing and optimisation, through to reporting and client meetings. You'll need to handle task prioritisation conflicts on the fly and display outstanding written and verbal communication skills.

We’re a relaxed team that sets a high-standard for ourselves and what we deliver. We are open to all walks of life and believe culture‑fit is key to making Chunky Duck’s magic.

We all work from home – or wherever life takes us, and so this uniquely amazing someone already has their set‑up configured to support digging their work and delivering their best.

Your experience:

- Degree or certificate in business admin, marketing, statistics, etc.
- At least three years of experience working in an agency-style setting, in a Paid Media role
- Technical PPC campaign management experience (Google & Meta Ads)

Inherent skills:

- Well organised with proven ability to manage multiple projects and prioritise effectively
- Ability to flex, adapt quickly and react positively to changing business needs




- Can operate independently and within a team
- Communicating with stakeholders to understand their needs and share considerations
- Creativity with a problem solving mindset

About Chunky Duck

Chunky Duck started in 2021 when three freelancers with decades of experience between them (Sarah, Ryan and Luke) teamed up to save on accounting fees. A random name generator gave us our name, it was meant to be temporary, but it stuck. Since then we’ve grown into a remote flock of digital specialists across strategy, creative, performance, technology and podcasting.

We’re 100% Australian-owned and we don’t offshore work. Chunky Duck was created as a lifestyle business and we intend to keep it that way. Our values are empowerment, creativity, balance, transparency and asynchronicity, so we work asynchronously, skip the all-hands meetings and give people access to information as and when they need it. We also give back: each year we donate 1% of our revenue to causes our ducklings choose, and we support the Gondwana Rainforest Trust.
