Performance Marketing Ad Buyer
$120K–$140K + Super
Sydney 
Global Growth Brand

If you know how to scale paid media profitably — and want the budget, autonomy and opportunity to prove it — keep reading.
This is a chance to join a fast-moving, commercially aggressive global business at a genuine growth point.

We're looking for an experienced Performance Marketing Ad Buyer to take ownership of Meta and Google across multiple international markets, with responsibility for approximately $5M in annual media spend.
This is a hands-on role for someone who likes being close to the numbers, making decisions quickly and seeing a direct connection between their work and commercial results.
And importantly, this is a brand-side opportunity.
We're not looking for someone whose experience has been agency-side managing a portfolio of clients. We want someone who has lived and breathed a brand, understands what happens beyond the ad account and is motivated by owning the result.
What you'll ownYou'll have real accountability for performance across Meta and Google, including:

• Building, launching and optimising campaigns across global markets
• Managing significant monthly media budgets and making smart decisions around allocation and scale
• Monitoring performance daily and acting quickly on what the data is telling you
• Driving improvements across ROAS, CPA, MER and overall profitability
• Identifying opportunities to scale winning campaigns and knowing when to cut what isn't working
• Developing structured testing across audiences, offers, placements and creative
• Working closely with creative and eCommerce teams to turn performance insights into better creative and stronger campaigns
• Staying ahead of platform changes, trends and new opportunities
• Reporting clearly on performance and, more importantly, explaining what we should do next

We're looking for a doer. This isn't a role for someone who needs a detailed instruction manual.
We're looking for someone who is positive, commercially hungry, curious and proactive — someone who sees a problem and wants to solve it, sees an opportunity and wants to test it.
You might be the person who:
Looks at the numbers and immediately starts asking why.
Sees a campaign working and wants to know how far it can be scaled.
Sees creative underperforming and wants to understand what needs to change.
Doesn't wait for the weekly meeting to flag an opportunity.

You'll be comfortable working at pace, making decisions with imperfect information and taking ownership of the outcome.
What you'll bringWe're looking for someone with Several years of genuine hands-on performance marketing / paid media experience, ideally gained within a brand, DTC or eCommerce environment.
You'll have:

• Strong hands-on experience across Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads
• Experience managing $100K+ per month in media spend
• Strong GA4 capability
• A proven track record of scaling campaigns and improving performance
• A highly analytical and commercially focused approach
• The ability to turn data into decisions rather than simply produce reports
• Experience working closely with creative teams and using performance data to influence creative direction
• The confidence to challenge, test and make recommendations
• A genuine appetite to work in a high-growth environment

Experience with Shopify, Triple Whale, global brands, DTC, fitness or lifestyle products would be highly regarded.
Why this role?Because this is not a “keep the campaigns ticking over” job.
The business is growing, investment is increasing and this role has been created to support that growth.

You'll have:

$5M annual media spend
Global markets
Meta + Google ownership
Strong creative capability
Direct exposure to senior growth leadership
A genuine opportunity to influence how the business scales

And you'll be joining a business that is ambitious, commercially driven and moving quickly.
If you're currently working brand-side, you're excellent at what you do, you know your numbers and you're ready for a role where you can have a much bigger impact — we want to hear from you.
