Responsibilities
  • Campaign Planning & Launch
    • Plan and launch paid campaigns across Meta Ads and Google Ads for assigned client accounts
    • Build campaign architecture: structure, targeting, audience segmentation, bidding strategy, and creative briefs
    • Set up and validate conversion tracking and attribution (GA4, Meta Pixel, GTM, UTMs) before every launch
    • Define campaign KPIs upfront and confirm measurement framework with account managers
  • Performance Management & Optimisation
    • Monitor campaign performance daily and optimise toward agreed KPIs: CPL, CPA, ROAS, conversion volume
    • Diagnose performance drops quickly - isolate root causes and apply targeted fixes
    • Manage budgets proactively: pace correctly, reallocate based on performance, flag overspend risks early
    • Run ongoing A/B tests on creative, copy, audiences, and landing pages - document and apply learnings
  • Reporting & Communication
    • Deliver clear, accurate performance reports on an agreed cadence - results-first with context and next steps
    • Translate campaign data into plain-language client updates via the account management team
    • Maintain accurate documentation of campaign changes, test results, and optimisation decisions
    • Identify and communicate risks before they impact client outcomes - proactively
Qualifications
  • 3+ years managing paid media campaigns for client accounts (agency experience strongly preferred)
  • Experience managing monthly ad budgets of $5,000+ per client account
  • Proficiency with Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads at a professional level
  • Proficiency with Looker Studio or equivalent for client-facing reporting dashboards
  • Working knowledge of landing page optimisation and CRO principles
  • Availability to work full-time in MST hours
Nice to Have
