Senior Paid Campaign Manager

We’re looking for a Senior Paid Media Campaign Manager to join our growing team. This role is both strategic and hands-on, managing Paid Media campaigns (Google Ads and Meta) with a particular focus on clients in the Australian market. Additional international accounts may follow once you’ve successfully taken ownership of the Australian account(s).

Working closely with our Client Partners and Performance Directors, you’ll manage the day-to-day execution of paid campaigns—including monitoring, optimising, and analysing performance, while identifying opportunities for testing and growth. Over time, you’ll take on more responsibility in client communication, strategic planning, and account leadership.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the technical side of campaign management but wants to expand their strategic influence within a high-performing agency environment.

We are actively hiring independent contractors based in the Philippines, ready to take on meaningful, remote work with international clients. You might be a great fit for our network if you're a self-motivated professional who thrives in flexible work environments and values autonomy.

• Minimum 4 years of experience managing performance campaigns (Google Ads and Meta)
• Proven experience running paid ad campaigns specifically for Australian clients

• Exceptional attention to detail
• Strong communicator and collaborative team player
• Self-motivated and able to work independently
• Data- and process-driven approach in ad campaign management
• Able to adapt quickly and respond to campaign performance challenges

• Preferred But Not Essential
