Paid Social Manager

Most paid social seats are a good place to run campaigns and a poor place to build a career: one channel, no say in the strategy, and a ceiling the day you get good at it. This one is the opposite.

It sits with a Sydney performance agency that keeps a tight roster of small and mid-sized brands, B2B and consumer side by side. The work is consultative rather than churn, so there is room to test properly and tell a client what their brand actually needs. The people genuinely like working together, and the business is set up to grow, so they want someone to build with, not just fill a seat.

You would be the paid social lead across Meta, TikTok and Pinterest, so paid social runs through you, from strategy and creative direction to reporting. It is a seat to build a career from as the business grows, and the right person can start as soon as they are free.

What you'll own

• Lead paid social strategy and delivery across Meta, TikTok and Pinterest for B2B and consumer clients
• Plan, build, optimise and report on campaigns end to end, with no layers between you and the client
• Run structured creative testing and shape creative and organic social direction
• Make the calls on your accounts and keep budgets pacing the way the brand needs
• Present results in plain language that business owners act on

What good looks like

• You have three to five years of hands-on paid social, with advanced Meta Ads at the core
• You have run B2B Meta campaigns, lead generation included, and know how they differ from consumer
• You have an eye for creative and organic social, and you build assets in Canva without fuss
• You are comfortable owning your accounts without a big team to lean on
• You want a seat you can grow into, and you can start soon
