ABOUT 1F MARKETING
We're a performance marketing agency that gets 5-star local trades, home-service and home-improvement businesses more leads, revenue and margin.
We're raw and authentic — building the opposite of cliche agencies. No corporate wank, fake smiles, fruit bowls, ping pong tables, no un-lived-in desks, no cliche neon signs. The founder wears jeans and a G-Shock to work. We swear (a little). We tell clients and colleagues how it is and we don't beat around the bush.
Performance above all else. We prioritise ROI for our clients, then speed of service, then strong relationships. In that order. :-)
We're growing fast, receiving good business from good businesses.
Now we need a genuine top-tier Google Ads operator to own day-to-day execution across the account book so the founder can focus on sales and strategy. We need a full-time specialist by October, and this role is hopefully to graduate a contractor to a comfy salary + beautiful work-life balance for the right operator.
THE ROLE
You'll own:
- Daily Google Ads optimisation across the account book
- New campaign setup and scaling
- Search campaign strategy (broad match + phrase/exact knowledge — you know when to use what)
- Landing page / CRO recommendations (founder available as a second opinion)
- Conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting (happy to teach this)
- Flagging anomalies and keeping accounts pointed at leads, revenue and margin (sharp eyes)
You WON'T own (founder handles):
- Monthly client reporting
- Sales calls and proposals
- Client strategy calls (you may join later once fulltime if you like)
WHAT WE NEED — MANDATORY (don't apply without these)
- You've worked agency-side at a Google Premier Partner agency — non-negotiable
- You understand Google Ads lead gen inside out
- You've managed budgets of $10K+/month
- You've set up AND scaled 5+ accounts from $0 to $250/day — you did it, not someone above or below you
- Proven experience with local trades / property & home services (exterior cleaners, roofers, painters etc.)
- Strong Search campaign experience
- Australian-based, AU timezone, available for ad-hoc founder calls during trading hours (prefer phone calls/Google Meets over texts)
DO NOT APPLY IF:
- You haven't worked at a Google Premier Partner agency (we're looking for the crème de la crème)
- You don't know what to do once an account hits $10K/mo spend (we're taking our clients to the moon)
- Meta ads is your bread and butter over Google
- You want to "learn" — this isn't a junior seat (junior roles opening 2027)
- You're an agency looking to white-label… unless you're willing to hand over your best operator ;-)
NICE-TO-HAVE (not dealbreakers if missing)
- End-to-end GTM setup + troubleshooting (unicorn-esque)
- CRO + LP building exp of seriously high CVR at scale (unicorn-esque)
- Ecom experience (we get the odd ecom client)
- Client-facing account management exp
- Proven sales track-record (unicorn-esque)
- Advanced SEO knowledge
- Worked at multiple agencies (or better, multiple Premier Partner agencies)
THE DEAL
- Contract now, full-time for the right operator
- We want someone in the seat by October, preferrably full-time
- Fully remote, AU only (we'll catch up periodically on company dollar)
- Work direct with the operator/founder — not buried under layers of management
- Modern ops stack. We don't mind AI — we care about output and revenue
- Freedom to run your own playbook once you've proven you can deliver
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- Better results = better flexibility (serious flexibility available if accounts are flying)
- Reports are about leads, rev and margins — the way performance marketing should be
- We're more than ads — we have a proven system we're rolling out to 5-star local trades
- No corporate wank, no politics, no need for small talk (maybe conspiracy theories)
- Work-life balance embraced, family-time embraced, holidays embraced, promotions embraced
