Senior Performance Marketing Manager

Melbourne
Hybrid · 3 days on-site
AUD $110k–$130k + bonus
Head of Growth

You're hiring a senior performance marketing manager in Melbourne to own paid-media performance and budget across major platforms. This is a specialist hunt: a high, narrow experience bar and a human-fit bar that holds steady under pressure, in a market that thins fast once the must-haves stack up.

WHAT MUST BE TRUE
  • Based in Melbourne, or able to work hybrid locally three days on-site.
  • Strong hands-on paid media experience across the major platforms.
  • Demonstrable ownership of performance and budget, rather than support or coordination.
