Job description

Salt has partnered with a globally recognised, market-leading marketplace technology platform to recruit a Senior Paid Media Operations and Delivery Manager.

This is not a traditional paid media role. Sitting at the centre of large‑scale marketing campaigns, you’ll be responsible for moving campaigns from production through media activation and publisher delivery, ensuring thousands of creative assets are launched accurately, compliantly and on time across multiple markets and channels.

Working cross‑functionally with marketing, production, media, legal and agency stakeholders, you’ll play a critical role in bringing campaigns to life, overseeing asset governance, campaign delivery, quality assurance and operational excellence.

This fixed‑term contract is currently approved through December 2026, with a strong likelihood of extension through December 2027. Permanent opportunities may also become available based on business needs and performance.

Remote‑first company, but they would like you to have an office presence in the Sydney CBD office only once a week or fortnight, depending on business needs.

Fixed‑term contract paying annual leave, personal leave and public holidays.

Competitive package of $190,000 + Super.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Media Operations & Campaign Delivery: Manage the delivery, activation, QA and performance of integrated paid media campaigns across brand, social, and programmatic channels, ensuring timelines and production quality standards are met.
• Delivery Assurance and QA: Conduct regular audits to verify that all campaign deliverables adhere to specifications, schedules, and compliance requirements for creative assets and ensure that media dates comply with removal deadlines due to licensing restrictions. Ensure that media dates align with planned campaign schedules and comply with removal deadlines due to licensing restrictions.
• Oversee the management of creative deliverable details in the Airtable database, including live dates and campaign performance metrics.
• Agency & Stakeholder Management: Partner closely with media agencies, production teams, marketing stakeholders and business affairs teams to ensure seamless campaign delivery. Conduct delivery assurance and QA reviews to ensure all assets meet campaign specifications, licensing requirements and production timelines. Oversee campaign data, creative deliverables, live dates and workflow tracking within Airtable and related systems.
• Process Improvement & Operational Excellence: Maintain visibility across active projects through reporting, tracking and workflow management. Identify opportunities to improve operational processes, asset management and campaign delivery systems. Ensure licensing requirements, compliance obligations and media removal deadlines are managed effectively.

About You

• 5-8 years’ experience in campaign delivery, paid media operations, media trafficking, ad operations, marketing operations or a related field.
• Experience managing complex campaign workflows within media, advertising, technology or agency environments.
• Proficiency with media platforms like Google Ads Manager, Meta Business Manager, and analytics/ reporting tools.
• Familiarity with creative asset management and compliance workflows preferred.
• Comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across marketing, production, legal and agency teams.
• Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail.
