Employer Bio:
Our client is a well-established digital marketing agency based in central Geelong, trusted by a wide range of clients to deliver smart, consistent, and effective online results. With a strong foundation, steady growth, and a talented internal team, the business has built its reputation on clear communication, thoughtful delivery, and long-term relationships. The team works closely across disciplines and enjoys strong alignment across leadership. With a beautifully located office currently undergoing a stunning further renovation and strong momentum toward the next stage of growth and capability, this is a great time to join a business that is moving forward with purpose.
The Job:
This is a key leadership role overseeing the full digital marketing function across paid campaigns, SEO, content, and reporting. You’ll lead a capable in-house team, guide strategy, and stay close to campaign performance, helping the agency continue to lift results and build capability across every touchpoint. You’ll also be part of the internal leadership team, contributing to planning days and offsite sessions that shape business priorities and client outcomes. This role offers the chance to lead with both structure and freedom, bringing your valued ideas to the table, driving quality execution, and helping shape what ‘great’ looks like for digital across the business. A strong client communication lens is essential in this role. You’ll be the primary point of contact for marketing clients, taking the lead on conversations, updates, performance insights, and check-ins. You’ll be the person who picks up the phone when others hesitate, closes the loop where others assume, and ensures clients always feel informed, supported, and confident in delivery. You’ll also keep the internal lines of communication strong, bridging conversations between support team members and resolving gaps before they become issues. Clarity, consistency, and accountability are core expectations in how this role shows up day-to-day. This position reports directly to the CEO and is a trusted partner in maintaining the agency’s strong reputation for reliability and results.
Benefits On Offer:
– Strategic leadership role with real influence across the digital function
– Quarterly planning days and annual offsite retreats with the senior team
– Office in the heart of Geelong currently undergoing a high-end renovation
– Supportive, accessible directors and a genuinely collaborative team culture
– Strong client relationships and project variety across sectors
– Generous salary on offer, commensurate with experience
Culture Snapshot:
This is a business that operates with clarity, care, and a sense of momentum. The culture is professional and relaxed, with a strong focus on collaboration, follow-through, and shared responsibility. Leadership is engaged and approachable, and the broader team brings a grounded, team-first energy to the day-to-day. It’s a workplace where people take pride in their work, support each other, and have fun doing it — but they also communicate clearly, speak up when needed, and take ownership of making sure things don’t fall through the cracks. Clients are seen as long-term partners, and communication is treated as a practice, not a task.
Skills Required:
– Proven capability in digital marketing across paid media, SEO, and content
– Strong practical experience in Google Ads and Meta campaign platforms
– High-level verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to manage clients directly and speak with clarity and confidence
– Ability to lead and develop a small team with clear expectations and internal accountability
– Strong follow-through instincts where you close loops, not just start conversations
– Sharp reporting instincts and the ability to extract and act on performance insights
– High personal ownership, initiative, and a bias toward improvement
