The kind of person who will thrive here

We're not looking for someone who simply follows a checklist.

We want someone who thinks critically about performance, spots problems before they become bigger problems and is constantly asking:

"How can we make this perform better?"

You should be analytical, commercially minded and proactive.

If a campaign isn't performing, you should want to understand why, identify what needs to change and take action.

You'll be working across multiple client accounts, so you need to be comfortable in an agency environment where priorities move quickly, deadlines matter and communication is important.

Most importantly, we want someone who takes ownership. You shouldn't need someone checking whether you've completed your work or reminding you to look at an underperforming account.

What we offer

• Full-time remote position
• Australian business hours
• Work with a growing Australian performance marketing agency
• Variety of clients and industries
• Opportunity to take real ownership of client performance
• Collaborative team environment
• Ongoing learning and development
• Clear KPIs and expectations
• Opportunity to grow with the business

Shortlisted candidates will complete a practical Google Ads assessment before progressing to interviews.
