Location: Mount Maunganui - (Flexible)

Job Overview
We're looking for someone who loves performance marketing, writes copy that converts, and is ready to take ownership of client outcomes through hands-on execution.
Interested? Then keep reading!
The Role
As a Digital Strategist, you'll be a key part of campaign delivery - collaborating to develop strategies, write copy, brief creative, and drive results across paid media platforms (mainly Meta & Google). You'll work closely with a team of specialists (designers, video editors, media buyers) to launch and scale campaigns that drive real business growth.
This is hands-on, fast-paced, and perfect for someone who wants to grow deep expertise in campaign execution, strategic content/ad creation and performance marketing.
What You'll Be Doing
● Brief and coordinate creative: Develop clear creative briefs for designers, video editors, and contractors that bring your strategic vision to life.
● Own campaign strategy: Work alongside leadership to marketing strategies across Meta, Google and landing pages that cater to each client's goals and market.
● Write strategic copy: Craft copy in different mediums, sometimes alongside a copywriter. Scripts and statics for Meta and Google, landing pages, and more - we love concepts that stop scrolls and convert.
● Project management: Keep campaigns moving by coordinating tasks, timelines, and deliverables to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
● Client communication: Lead strategy and performance calls for smaller accounts, whilst supporting the founder on larger strategic partnerships.
● Performance reviews & optimisation: Review campaign data regularly to identify what's working, kill what's not, and recommend strategic adjustments.
● Funnel optimisation: Audit and advise on landing pages and lead flows to maximise conversion and reduce drop-off.
The ultimate goal is delivering results for the clients that you work with. BUT you’re not alone. You'll be supported every step of the way to help bring the strategy to life.
You Bring
● 2+ years of experience in digital marketing, performance marketing, or growth marketing
● Decent copywriting skills - you can write and spot compelling ad scripts, landing pages, and creative briefs.
● Solid working knowledge of Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads (you don’t have to be a media buyer though)
● Some familiarity with funnels and performance-based creative strategy
● Data-literate: you can read performance reports, extract insights, and map out growth opportunities
● Clear and confident communicator, both written and verbal
● Proactive problem solver with a "figure it out" mindset
● BONUS: Experience with eCommerce or DTC brands, Shopify, Webflow, or similar platforms
Why You'll Love It Here
● Based next to the best beach in New Zealand! (The Mount)
● Flexible work setup - remote or in-person
● Directly impact client growth and retention
● Clear growth pathway as the agency scales
● A supportive, collaborative team culture that values ownership and excellence
