Performance Media Manager

• Are you ready to own end-to-end performance across Google Ads & Paid Social to drive great outcomes at one of Australia's best independent agencies?
• Do you love combining strategy, hands-on execution and clear storytelling for clients?
• You'll partner closely with our internal data & reporting team so you can focus on building, optimising and communicating impact.
• We're a recent winner at "Australia's Best Places to Work" (AFR 2023).
• We offer amazing culture and benefits + hybrid work.

About You

• Talented, hands-on strategist across Paid Search & Paid Social in an agency environment.
• Own the craft end-to-end: diagnosis -> strategy -> build -> optimise -> report.
• Confident client-facing ownership of all things media. Day-to-day management supported by our Client Services team.
• Collaborate with clients, our internal creative division and external partners. Briefs, feedback and tight test loops. You value how creative & messaging drive performance.
• Data-fluent: set and manage meaningful success measures, forecast sensibly, interpret GA4 and liaise with our internal data & reporting team to get tracking and dashboards right (no need to set up GTM/Looker Studio yourself).
• Excellent communicator who explains what you do, what you see and the value it delivers — clearly and credibly.
• Curious operator who stays current, spends time in the platforms, banks learnings and helps others succeed.

Bonus points: LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, Bing, SA360 , exposure to Programmatic (DV360/The Trade Desk) is a plus, but not required.

In this role, you'd be:

• Join a team of 10 genuinely talented search, social and programmatic specialists (Rocket is ~55 people).
• Report directly to our Head of Digital Media.
• Spend most of your time doing what you love: diagnosis -> strategy -> build -> optimise -> communicate the value.
• Partner with our internal data & reporting team to define success measures, connect GA4 insights and build forecasts.
• Collaborate with creatives and Client Services to turn insights into clear briefs and test plans.
• A real opportunity to make your mark in this role and grow within the agency.

Bonus: Experience collaborating on OOH/DOOH and other above-the-line channels — TV (linear + BVOD/CTV), radio & streaming audio (FM/DAB, Spotify, podcasts), cinema, and print (newspapers, magazines, inserts) — including planning inputs, cross-channel flighting, creative spec/format alignment, partner trafficking, and brand-lift/attention measurement (nice to have, not required).
