Job Description:

Shift would follow Australia time zone. 100% remote.

We are looking for a results-driven Performance Marketing Lead to lead and execute performance marketing campaigns across Google Ads, Facebook/Meta Ads, and LinkedIn Paid Media. You'll be responsible for strategy, setup, optimization, reporting, and ensuring our media investments deliver measurable ROI.

This is an individual contributor role — you won't have direct reports, but you will own performance marketing as a discipline at LOKAL. The standard, the playbooks, and the final call on whether a campaign is good enough to ship.

Key Responsibilities

Google Ads Management

  • Plan, launch, and optimize Social, Display, and Search ads (Meta ads experience required)
  • Conduct keyword research, A/B testing, and bidding strategy adjustments
  • Track conversion goals and continuously improve performance metrics (CPC, CPA, ROAS)

Facebook/Meta Ads Management

  • Develop and execute full-funnel ad strategies for Facebook, Instagram, and Audience Network
  • Design, test, and iterate on audience targeting, creative formats, and placements
  • Collaborate with creatives and brand teams to ensure ad assets align with campaign goals

Analytics & Reporting

  • Monitor daily campaign performance and provide weekly/monthly reports with actionable insights
  • Use tools like Google Analytics, Meta Business Suite, and ad dashboards to track and attribute conversions
  • Own measurement integrity — GA4 and GTM setup, conversion definitions, attribution windows

Technical Strategy

  • Assess client marketing stacks and recommend what to fix, replace, or integrate — CRM, email automation, tracking
  • Scope and defend those recommendations to senior client stakeholders

Practice Leadership

  • Write and maintain the playbooks for how LOKAL runs paid media — account structure, forecasting, testing standards, QA before launch
  • Review campaigns built by others across the company before they go live
  • Build agent-driven systems that automate the repetitive parts of campaign management

Collaboration

  • Work cross-functionally with content, design, and strategy teams to ensure message consistency
  • Stay ahead of digital ad trends and platform updates to apply best practices

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience managing paid media campaigns, with proven success in Google and Meta platforms
  • Strong understanding of media buying strategies, A/B testing, audience segmentation, and retargeting
  • Analytical mindset with hands-on experience in data-driven decision-making
  • Experience with reporting tools like Looker Studio, Google Analytics, or similar
  • Comfortable working Australian time zone hours

Preferred

  • Experience with LinkedIn Ads
  • Extensive experience with ads in Meta
  • Experience working in agency or multi-brand environments
  • Knowledge of creative specs and ad policy compliance across ad platforms
  • Evidence you've raised the standard for people who didn't report to you — a playbook others adopted, a process that stuck
