Paid Media Specialist

We are Media Merchants, one of Australia’s leading independent media, performance and creative agencies, and we’re looking for a Paid Media Specialist to join our Brisbane office. This year has been an incredible year of growth at MM, and we are looking for some new Team Members to join our fast growing Team!

This role is suited to someone with two years’ experience in performance or paid media, ideally in an agency environment, who is ready to take greater ownership of campaign execution, optimisation, and reporting across search and social platforms.

We’re not your typical agency. We’re in the Top 3% of Google Agencies, a Certified Microsoft Ads Agency, and proud members of the IMAA. We work with ambitious brands and value people who care about doing great work, learning quickly, and contributing to a high-performing team.

Why You?

You’re confident in-platform and ready to step beyond purely support tasks.

You have:

• 2+ years’ experience in performance or paid media (agency experience preferred)

• Hands-on experience managing campaigns in Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager

• A solid understanding of optimisation levers (budgets, bidding, creative testing, audiences)

• Experience preparing performance reports and drawing clear insights

• Strong attention to detail across builds, QA, tracking, and naming conventions

• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

• TikTok Ads or Microsoft Ads

• GA4, Looker Studio, or Google Tag Manager

• Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento

• Lead gen and ecommerce accounts

The Role

As a Paid Media Specialist, you’ll be responsible for executing and optimising paid media campaigns across search and social, with growing autonomy and accountability.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Building, managing, and optimising campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, and other platforms

• Ensuring best-practice setup, QA, tracking, and platform hygiene

• Monitoring performance and making proactive optimisation recommendations

• Preparing weekly, monthly, and post-campaign reports with clear insights

• Contributing to WIPs and client reporting with confident, structured updates

• Collaborating closely with Account Managers, creatives, and senior performance team members

• Staying across platform updates and applying best practice across accounts

This role offers exposure to a diverse client portfolio and the opportunity to continue progressing toward an Account Manager role over time.

Why Media Merchants?

You’ll be joining a team that:

• Takes pride in delivering strong, consistent work for clients

• Encourages collaboration across performance, creative, and account teams

• Works with well-known and respected brands

• Values initiative, curiosity, and accountability
