Paid Media Executive

Step into a well-rounded media role where you’ll gain exposure across platforms, clients and strategy without being siloed into one channel.

We’re partnering with a respected independent media agency to find a Paid Media Executive ready to grow across both digital execution and client-facing delivery.

This is an ideal move for someone who wants more ownership, broader platform exposure and the opportunity to work closely with senior strategists in a collaborative, independent agency

environment.

The Company

They are a well-established independent media agency, bringing together a team of 25 specialists across strategy, planning, buying and analytics.

Operating across both digital and offline channels, they provide end-to-end media support from high-level strategy through to execution and in-depth performance analysis.

Creativity, collaboration and curiosity sit at the heart of the agency. With a flat structure and highly accessible leadership team, it’s an environment where individuals are trusted with responsibility early and encouraged to shape their own growth.

The Role

It’s a well-rounded position that blends hands-on platform work with client exposure, making it a great step for someone who wants to move beyond pure execution and gain a better view of how campaigns come together end to end.

You’ll work closely with experienced planners and senior team members, supporting everything from activation and reporting through to client communications and day-to-day delivery. The team works at a good pace, so being organised, curious and comfortable juggling priorities will really help.

Over time, you’ll naturally gain exposure across different platforms, clients and ways of thinking about media. It’s a strong next step for someone looking to keep learning and grow within a collaborative independent agency.

You will:

• Support the planning, implementation and optimisation of multi-channel campaigns (search, social, programmatic)

• Contribute to reporting, analysis and actionable insights for clients

• Participate in client meetings and help shape day-to-day communications

• Work across major platforms including Google and social ecosystems

• Collaborate closely with planners, analysts and senior stakeholders

• Help refine internal processes and identify opportunities for smarter media delivery

This role is for you if

• You have a couple of years in a digital or media agency and are ready for more ownership

• You are naturally curious and enjoy learning across different platforms and disciplines

• You thrive in collaborative teams where people are approachable and things move at a good pace

This role is not for you if

• You prefer highly structured corporate environments with very defined remits

• You want to specialise deeply in one channel rather than working across multiple platforms

• You prefer roles that are purely platform-focused without client interaction

About You

• 2+ years of experience in a media or digital agency environment

• Hands-on experience across at least one core channel such as paid search or paid social

• Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills

• Confident communicator who enjoys working with both data and people

• Keen to keep learning and broaden your exposure across channels

What’s on offer

• Hybrid working across Sydney CBD and Manly locations

• A genuinely collaborative and down-to-earth team culture

• An extra day off for your birthday

• Every couple of years, the team goes away together for a few days (past trips include Port Stephens, the Blue Mountains and Nelson Bay)

• Support for ongoing learning and certifications

• The opportunity to grow within an independent agency where people stay and develop long term

This is a great opportunity to step into a well-rounded media role within a genuinely collaborative independent agency. If the role resonates and you’d like to learn more, we’d love to hear from you.
