This starts as a six month contract by design. We want the right fit, not just the right CV. If you lead with confidence, build trust quickly, and hold yourself to a standard that makes "good enough" genuinely uncomfortable, this is your opportunity to build something, not just run it.

Bonus Experience International Marketing: Experience scaling campaigns across global markets and navigating local cultural nuances. Search Engine Marketing: Experience managing Google Ads campaigns. Do NOT Apply If: You need consensus or sign off before making account decisions. Autonomy makes you uncomfortable rather than energised. You're transactional with the brands and partners you work with. You see account management as reporting and delivery rather than strategic partnership and relationship building. You wait for direction rather than proactively identifying risks, opportunities, and growth plays across your portfolio. You need a fully defined playbook to execute. Ambiguity stalls you rather than sharpening your focus. You struggle to present data clearly or make a compelling case for strategic decisions to senior stakeholders. You're not genuinely excited about AI and automation as a competitive advantage for your clients. You think consistently good is acceptable when exceptional is within reach.
