Job description

Our mates at Ryvalmedia are growing their Brissy crew. And this time? We’re teaming up once again to find their next Digital Manager.

Deep Paid Search and Paid Social experience? Non-negotiable. A proper strategic brain, client confidence and a love for the data? Also very much required.

Maybe Paid Media is your happy place and you want to keep doing more of what you love. Or maybe you’ve already built deep chops in Paid and you’re ready to flex into broader, more connected Digital and Media work. There’s a pathway for both here.

Either way, you love the platforms, but you’re just as comfy with strategy, clients and figuring out how all the moving pieces fit together.

Sound like a bit of you? Keep on reading...

Think indie heart meets global agency muscle. They’re clever. Agile. Properly ambitious. A data led media and communications crew with depth across Digital, Performance, Media and Programmatic, and some pretty bloody good humans in the mix too.

And now, with the wider Cosmo5 network in their corner, there’s even more to tap into. Global smarts across Media, Data, Tech, Commerce and Creative, without losing the agility, autonomy and personality that makes Ryvalmedia feel like, well... Ryval.

They also work closely with sister agency Foxcatcher, bringing even more depth across Programmatic, Data, Analytics and AdTech. Basically, the best bits of a global network, with plenty of indie agency heart still sprinkled in. Not a bad little combo if you ask us!

And the client mix? Pretty damn good too. Think Mahindra, ghd Hair, BIG4 Holiday Parks, McMillan Shakespeare and Fixed Teeth Australia, just to name a few. You’ll get to think beyond the platforms, connect the dots across the wider media mix and build smart solutions around what clients actually need.

THE GIG

As the Digital Manager, you’ll sit within Ryvalmedia’s Digital crew, owning a tight client patch and supporting the Digital Directors on larger accounts.

Paid Search and Paid Social sit right at the heart of this one, with Google and Meta very much your sweet spot. You’ll be hands on, but you’ll also own the thinking around it, from strategy and planning to performance, data and client management. There’s plenty of scope to get closer to integrated media work too, if that’s your thing.

Your days will look a lil’ like this:

• Own digital + paid media strategy, campaigns and performance across your client patch.
• Plan, build, optimise and troubleshoot across Paid Search and Paid Social, with Google and Meta at the core.
• Turn client goals into smart paid media strategies, forecasts, budgets and recommendations.
• Get stuck into the data, reporting, measurement and attribution. What’s working? What isn’t? Where’s the next opportunity?
• Get properly close to your clients, understand their challenges and become a trusted go to across your accounts.
• Connect the Paid Media piece into the bigger client picture with the wider Digital and Media crew.
• Get exposure to Programmatic, Native, Content, LLMs and the broader Media world. You don’t need to walk in knowing it all though.
• Share your senior smarts with the junior crew through a little mentoring and guidance.
• Bring ideas, solve problems and keep the whole little engine humming beautifully.

AND YOU?

• Solid agency runs on the board in the Digital / Performance Media world.
• Deep hands on experience across Paid Search and Paid Social. Google and Meta? Very much your bread and butter.
• Campaign setup, optimisation, QA + troubleshooting? All comfy territory.
• You can zoom out too, with strong strategy chops across planning, forecasting, budgets, pacing and recommendations.
• Great client confidence. You’re proactive and a little obsessed with understanding your clients’ businesses and challenges, not just their media accounts.
• You’re comfy getting into the numbers too, with a solid handle on reporting, measurement, attribution and tagging. GA4 and GTM? Yep, you know your way around them.
• Wider Paid Media experience across TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest or YouTube? Nice little bonus.
• Programmatic, Native, Content or broader Digital Media experience? Lovely. Keen to get more connected to that world? Also very welcome, but not essential.
• Plenty of curiosity and an appetite to keep learning, stretching and getting your hands on more.

Most importantly? You care. About the work, your clients, the detail and doing a bloody good job. That bit matters here. A lot.

THE REALLY GOOD BIT?

There’s loads of room for growth and progression here. You’ll have an epic SLT and Digital Directors around you, but plenty of space to have a voice, own your patch and make your mark.

Go deeper into strategy. Stay close to the Paid Media work you love. Stretch into a bigger Digital and Media world.

Because while Cosmo5 brings the global backing, tools, training and thinking, Ryvalmedia still moves like a killer indie, and that’s the best bit. Less red tape. More autonomy. More freedom to try new things, think bigger and have a real say in where things go next.

If you’re ready for more and want to be part of an agency that does things a little differently, this one has your name allll over it.
