**Role Profile**:
Are you hungry to join one of Australia’s most exciting independent agencies?

We’re also home to some of Australia’s most loved brands - including Pizza Hut, R.M.Williams, Red Bull, Peters Ice Cream, The Iconic, Indeed, and Georg Jensen.

- Inspires and leads collaboration across all areas of the business from Account Service, Earned and the Creative & Content team.
- Has an in-depth understanding of both performance and brand building media strategies and channels (both digital and traditional).

- Develop and lead paid media strategies, ensuring industry leading implementation of comprehensive audience led paid media campaigns.
- Drive consistent and ongoing strategic thought into new, innovative and creative media campaigns.
- Continue to evolve and optimise our performance media offering, including adaption of industry leading technology.
- Oversee at a high level the execution of paid social, performance advertising, affiliate marketing, SEO, programmatic and paid media.
- Staying ahead of industry trends and continuously innovating to keep WiredCo at the forefront of digital and media advertising.
- Ownership of key clients’ media budgets and effective management of these.
- Oversee and lead strategy reports and presentations, delivering clearly articulated strategic commentary.
- In collaboration with channel leads, drive capacity planning, scope creep management, and owning team structure and resources, ensuring profitability and resource alignment.
