Salary
💰 A$110,000 - A$150,000 per year
About the role
- Paid media execution and optimisation (core)
- Own day-to-day performance across Meta Ads and Google Ads (plus selective channel tests)
- Build, launch, and scale campaigns from the ground up not just “optimise mature accounts.”
- Run structured experimentation: audiences, creatives, landing pages, offers, messaging, bidding.
- Diagnose issues fast (performance drops, tracking gaps, policy flags) and implement fixes with clear logging and rationale.
- Maintain strong budget control and pacing; communicate changes and outcomes clearly.
- Compliance and platform navigation (core)
- Operate comfortably in a regulated / policy-sensitive environment: ensure correct disclaimers, product representation, and compliant messaging.
- Stay on top of Meta/Google policy changes and account health.
- Find practical, compliant pathways to keep campaigns running when restrictions hit (without cutting corners).
- Analytics and decision-making (core)
- Use performance data to drive decisions: CAC/CPA, funnel conversion, cohort quality, creative insights.
- Own clean tracking hygiene (UTMs, naming conventions, change logs, basic attribution alignment).
- Partner with internal stakeholders (e.g., BI/dev) to resolve data discrepancies and improve reporting reliability.
- Team collaboration and scale (evolving)
- Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to align performance goals, priorities, and launch readiness.
- As the function scales, contribute to team structure (including potential offshore support) and help uplift operational standards.
Requirements
- Strong Meta Ads experience (this is the centre of gravity) and solid fundamentals in Google Ads
- Proven ability to launch and run campaigns end-to-end (strategy → build → execute → optimise → report)
- Comfortable working in high-compliance / high-scrutiny environments (you ask the right questions before going live)
- High-agency problem solver: fast, curious, solution-first, and calm when things break.
- Clear communicator: low-friction working style, practical updates, and strong documentation habits.
- Experience in fintech/forex/CFD/crypto or similarly regulated sectors (nice-to-haves)
- Tools like GA4 / GTM / AppsFlyer (or equivalent tracking/analytics platforms) (nice-to-haves)
- Direct buys / native / programmatic testing experience (e.g., Trustpilot placements, content networks, etc.) (nice-to-haves)
- Experience working with offshore teammates or distributed teams (nice-to-haves)
