Performance Manager

Growth-Focused Digital Agency | Remote (Australia)

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a high-growth, independently owned performance marketing agency that’s executing on an ambitious long-term vision. With a strong pipeline of eCommerce, technology, and purpose-led brands, they’re expanding their team and looking for a Performance Manager to play a key role in client growth.

If you believe life’s too short to do boring work and want to work with brands that are scaling fast and doing meaningful things, this could be the move.

This role sits at the heart of digital execution and strategy — owning Paid Social and PPC performance, leading client conversations, and driving creative-led experimentation to unlock real business growth.

You’ll manage a portfolio of 3–6 client accounts, with monthly budgets ranging from $10,000 to $100,000+, and act as a strategic partner rather than just a platform operator.

The Role

• Translate commercial goals (Revenue, CAC, MER) into actionable creative concepts

• Develop clear creative briefs for internal designers or client teams

• Use performance signals (engagement, thumb-stop rate, revenue impact) to prioritise concepts

• Lead the creative testing roadmap across audiences, products, and offers

Client Leadership

• Build strong, trusted relationships with key client stakeholders

• Lead client meetings and strategic discussions

• Simplify complex data into clear business insights

• Position yourself as a strategic advisor, not just a campaign manager

Reporting & Insights

• Deliver insightful performance reports with actionable recommendations

• Translate analytics into clear growth opportunities

• Maintain proactive communication and expectation management

Technical Execution

• Implement and manage tracking via Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel

• Oversee accurate conversion tracking and attribution

• Configure and optimise shopping feeds for eCommerce campaigns

• Use Google Analytics to analyse performance and user behaviour

• Ensure data integrity across platforms

Collaboration

• Work closely with media buyers, strategists, and creative teams

• Contribute to weekly performance sessions and knowledge sharing

• Share insights and testing learnings across the team
