Performance Marketing Manager

Join a high-impact global media group transforming how the world’s top universities reach the next generation of students.

With over 15 years of specialised expertise, this fast-growing team blends creativity, strategy, and data to craft campaigns beyond impressions, delivering measurable, meaningful results. They’re a collective of performance marketers, storytellers, and analytical thinkers, and they’re just getting started.

As they scale up their Sydney team, they’re looking for a Paid Media or Performance Marketing Manager to drive end-to-end campaign strategy and execution, backed by a seasoned leadership team and a supportive, collaborative environment.

What’s in it for you?

• One WFH day per week for balance and flexibility
• Open to all candidates with full-time working rights – future sponsorship on the table
• Monthly wellbeing allowance to keep you feeling your best
• Friday social activities, quarterly celebrations, and regular team socials
• A genuinely global team that works seamlessly across borders
• Career pathways and internal mobility to help you grow
• Weekly office breakfasts – because great work should start with good food

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and running cutting-edge paid media campaigns across Search, Social, and Programmatic.
• Managing end-to-end campaign setup – from tracking and trafficking to targeting and bidding.
• Collaborating with Account Directors to develop data-driven strategies and share key insights.
• Working with global delivery teams to roll out high-impact, cross-channel campaigns.
• Monitoring performance daily and driving continuous improvement through smart optimisations.
• Delivering insightful reports packed with actionable takeaways and competitor analysis.
• Mentoring a junior team member here in Sydney and sharing your expertise across the business.

What You’ll Bring

• Previous experience in a digital agency or fast-paced marketing environment.
• Proven skills across Paid Search and Paid Social (bonus points for Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, and YouTube).
• Familiarity with programmatic tools such as DV360, StackAdapt, or Adobe DSP – if you have more experience in programming than search and social media, your application will still be considered.
• A solid grip on tracking, measurement, and analytics (think GA4, GTM, pixels, UTM parameters).
• Confidence in communicating ideas and presenting strategies to clients and stakeholders.
• Experience running campaigns across multiple regions – exposure to the China market is a plus.
