Performance Marketing Lead

Performance Lead (Paid Search or Paid Social)Remote | Australia-Wide | Two Opportunities Available

We're hiring two Performance Leads.

One with a Paid Search background.

One with a Paid Social background.`

This opportunity is with a growing independent agency that believes performance marketing should start with the business problem, not the platform.

They're looking for marketers who think beyond campaign metrics and ask bigger questions:

• Why is growth slowing?
• Is this a media problem, a creative problem, or a conversion problem?
• Where should the next dollar actually be invested?

If you naturally zoom out before diving into an ad account, you'll fit right in.

The Opportunity

You'll lead performance strategy for a portfolio of ambitious brands while remaining close enough to the work to understand what drives results.

Working directly with founders and clients, you'll help businesses grow through a combination of media, creative thinking, experimentation and commercial insight.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving growth challenges as much as managing campaigns.

What you'll be doing

• Leading performance strategy across either Search or Social
• Owning client relationships and acting as a strategic advisor
• Managing and optimising campaigns across your channel
• Identifying growth opportunities beyond media buying
• Collaborating across creative, CRO and broader marketing initiatives
• Building testing frameworks and experimentation roadmaps
• Leveraging AI, automation and smarter systems to improve performance
• Turning data into commercial recommendations and actionable insights

What we're looking for

• Strong experience leading Paid Search or Paid Social programs
• Agency experience preferred
• Ability to connect media performance to business outcomes
• Comfortable presenting recommendations and challenging thinking when needed
• Commercially minded with a strong understanding of growth and acquisition
• Curious, proactive and solutions-oriented
• Excited by AI, automation and modern marketing
• Comfortable operating with autonomy and ownership

Why join?

• Direct access to founders and decision-makers
• High-trust, low-ego environment
• Opportunity to influence agency direction and processes
• Sophisticated clients who value strategic thinking
• Strong focus on AI, experimentation and innovation
• Flexibility, autonomy and room to make a genuine impact

This role is fully remote, and we're open to talent across Australia. Applicants must have full Australian working rights.
