The role:

As a Performance Executive, you’ll play a key role in delivering best-in-class digital media activation across performance channels — including search, social, and programmatic platforms. Working closely with the Performance Director and wider team, you’ll help translate client briefs into strategic direction to create high-performing digital campaigns that drive measurable results for our clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute and optimise performance campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, and other key platforms (e.g. YouTube, TikTok, GA4).
• Assist with the planning, implementation, and day-to-day management of paid media campaigns, ensuring alignment to the media strategy and client goals.
• Support with weekly and post-campaign reporting, extracting actionable insights, surfacing recommendations, and contributing to client WIPs.
• Monitor budgets, pacing, and performance metrics to ensure campaigns are running efficiently and delivering against KPIs.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure accurate campaign bookings, tagging, and tracking are in place for flawless execution.
• Manage and resolve discrepancies, queries, and adjustments related to campaign delivery and invoicing.

A Bit About You

• You’re passionate about performance media and have a working knowledge of platforms like Google Ads, Meta Ads and Google Analytics.
• You understand biddable channels and how they contribute to broader campaign and business objectives.
• You’ve had experience with campaign implementation, pacing, optimisation, and reporting — and love working with data to tell a story.
• You’re comfortable juggling tasks in a fast-paced environment and thrive on being organised and detail-oriented.
• You’re proactive and collaborative — someone who builds strong relationships with clients, internal teams, and media partners.

What’s in it for you:

• Real flexibility to work when and where you feel most productive with our ‘Be the Best You’ policy which includes a $250 contribution to your home office set up
• The opportunity to give back with dedicated volunteer leave and our whole-company event, One Day for Change
• 5 weeks annual leave after 2 years of service and 3 whole company Wellness days off per year for you to switch off and take your day, your way
• Career Development and Learning & Development opportunities, including access to our global online dentsu University
