Who you are
You’re an intelligent self-starter who can prioritise work and manage your own deadlines under pressure.
You have managed paid advertising campaigns across Facebook ads and Google ads before. You work to keep your knowledge up-to-date in these areas, staying aware of any impending updates that may affect your work.
You have enough technical skills to learn how to set up conversion tracking using Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook ads Events Manager, and Google ads as well as through APIs such as Shopify, Wix and WordPress. {NB – full training will be provided in these areas}.
You have great communications skills, both internally and with clients. You will be required to keep your team and clients up to date regarding performance and progress on projects. At times, you may need to present proposed campaigns to prospective or existing clients.
You work well both on your own and as part of a team. The Digital 24 team are a self-directed bunch, who get to follow their nose when it comes to strategic direction in many cases.

You will also be working closely with our Performance Marketing Director and Specialists to strategise client success each quarter.

“First and foremost, we are seeking a suitable candidate who has a driven mindset and enough experience to grow into the role if necessary. If you’ve got the right attitude, but simply haven’t had the opportunities to work with certain platforms yet, we can train you!”
