Overview

Our client is a small but growing independent media agency with brand-side DNA. They are analytical, precise, move fast, and operate like extensions of their clients' teams.

We're on the hunt for a passionate and commercially minded Senior Planner / Buyer (offline and online) to join the team and take ownership of key client relationships. You'll play a central role in defining and driving media strategy, campaign delivery, and client success across a diverse portfolio of brands. You'll bring a strong understanding of the Australian media landscape, paired with the confidence to lead client conversations and deliver work that makes an impact.

You'll thrive in a fast-paced agency environment, where curiosity, collaboration, and accountability are highly valued. This is a hands-on role where you'll manage the full campaign lifecycle—from briefing and strategy through to implementation, reporting, and optimisation— no team, just you.

  • Own client relationships end-to-end: strategy, execution, reporting, all of it.
  • Plan, negotiate and book media across all channels with a clear link to brand and business objectives
  • Monitor campaign performance and proactively identify opportunities to optimise, course-correct, or over-deliver
  • Brief, manage, and traffic creative to ensure deadlines are hit and assets land where they should
  • Prepare clear, concise reporting that connects media results to client KPI's
  • Identify opportunities to grow and improve the agency, help us see around corners and optimise workflows
What we are looking for
  • 5+ years' experience in a media agency, 'on the tools' trading experience across traditional media and an understanding of online media a must
  • Strategic thinker who gets metric‑driven results and can articulate them
  • Proactive communicator—confident in pitching, leading meetings, negotiating and reporting back
  • Craves real accountability and cares about client success above all
What's in it for you
  • A pathway to directorship, building your media team around you
  • Rewarded for results: a generous salary package + bonus tied to growth and success
  • Culture first: tight‑knit, values‑driven, results‑obsessed; with a healthy side of fun
  • Hybrid & flexible: an outcome-focused agency, they are not clock-watchers
