Job description

Salt Search has partnered with a globally renowned, market-leading Fortune 500 marketplace technology platform to recruit for a newly created and highly visible role supporting the APAC region.

This is not a traditional paid media role.

As the organisation continues to scale its marketing activity across APAC, campaign complexity has evolved from a small number of global assets to hundreds of locally produced creative deliverables across multiple markets.

As a result, the business is creating a dedicated function to improve how campaigns are planned, delivered and scaled across the region.

Working across Australia, India, Japan, South Korea and China, you will act as the middle person between media leads and media agencies/local creative agencies, ensuring campaigns move seamlessly from production through to media activation and publisher delivery.

Why Apply?

Contract until the end of this year, with approvals for extension until the end of 2027 underway. The long-term intention is to convert this role to permanent.

Competitive package of $195,000 + Super, with full paid leave entitlements (Annual, personal, public holidays, etc.).

1-day in-office minimum requirement; the rest of the time you will be able to work from home.

What You'll Be Doing

• 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.
• Manage complex campaign delivery workflows, quality assurance, asset governance and campaign readiness, ensuring everything launches accurately, compliantly and on schedule.
• During peak campaign periods, focus heavily on campaign execution, asset tracking and delivery across hundreds of creative assets and multiple APAC markets.
• During quieter periods, help build the future operating model for the region by improving processes, refining workflows, strengthening agency collaboration and identifying automation opportunities.
• Partner with media agencies, local creative agencies and internal stakeholders to ensure campaigns move seamlessly from production through to activation.
• Build campaign workback schedules, identify delivery risks and maintain visibility across active campaigns, assets and milestones.

About You

• 5-10+ years' experience within media operations, campaign delivery, ad operations, media planning, programmatic execution, media trafficking or marketing operations.
• Agency experience at some point in your career, particularly within media, digital or integrated environments.
• Experience managing campaign delivery across APAC is essential.
• Strong experience working across multiple campaigns, stakeholders and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong understanding of creative asset management, campaign delivery workflows and media execution processes.
• Comfortable operating within fast-paced environments where work fluctuates between planning and execution.
• Experience with Airtable, Google Campaign Manager, Google Workspace or similar tools is advantageous.
• Process improvement mindset, with an interest in workflow efficiency, automation and scalable operating models.

Join a globally recognised technology platform with significant brand presence and market influence. Highly visible role partnering with regional, global and agency stakeholders, with the opportunity to influence how campaign delivery and media operations scale across APAC. Blend of campaign operations, stakeholder management, process improvement and strategic planning.
