Peeps Consulting are recruiting this role on behalf of the agency, please follow the prompts to apply. Full Australian working rights are required for this role.

________________________________________________________

Paid media has changed.

And so have we.

Paid media managers shouldn’t be spending their days manually adjusting bids or chasing minor CPC fluctuations. Platforms are smarter. Automation is stronger. AI is embedded.

Which means the real value now lies in judgement.

We’re looking for a Performance Manager / Paid Media Manager who can think strategically, interpret performance clearly, and have confident conversations with clients about growth, not just metrics.

Who We Are

We’re a people-first growth agency built around intent, interest and human behaviour.

We bring together Strategy, Paid Media, SEO, CRO, Analytics and Creative to make advertising useful, not intrusive.

Our clients range from high-growth ecommerce brands to national challengers who take performance seriously.

The Role

You will lead paid media strategy across a portfolio of clients, supported by a delivery team and specialist partners.

Your role is to:

• Build intelligent, full-funnel media strategies
• Bring them to life and manage them continuously
• Translate data into behavioural insights
• Collaborate across owned and earned channels (SEO, CRO, content, creative)
• Confidently guide clients through performance decisions
• Leverage AI and automation to improve planning and efficiency
• Continuously optimise to reduce waste, fatigue and poor user experience

You’ll still work across platforms like Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, along with broader brand channels.

But your value won’t be defined by execution volume.

It will be defined by how well you interpret, advise and lead.

What You Bring

• 3–6+ years experience in paid media (agency preferred)
• Strong platform knowledge across Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn
• Confidence presenting to clients and stakeholders
• Strategic, consultative mindset
• Strong analytical capability with a focus on insight, not just reporting
• Comfort working alongside AI tools
• Curiosity about where media and technology are heading

Bonus if you:

• Connect media strategy to brand positioning
• Think in full-funnel terms, not just last-click performance
• Care about behavioural nuance

What You Won’t Be

• A button pusher
• A siloed channel operator
• Resistant to AI and automation
• Waiting for direction
• Spread too thin

What We Offer

• Flexible working (remote or hybrid within Australia)
• Early finish on Fridays
• Collaborative, interdisciplinary team
• High-quality and varied client portfolio
• Clear growth pathways (strategy, leadership, or specialisation)
• Regular team social events
