Senior Paid Ads Specialist

Ven Agency | Ho Chi Minh City | Full-time | Mid-Senior

───

About Ven Agency

Ven is a digital performance agency based in Melbourne with a growing team in Ho Chi Minh City. We work with a mix of Australian and international clients across e-commerce, B2B SaaS, and professional services - helping them grow through paid media, SEO, and digital strategy.

We're a small, focused team. No bureaucracy, no hand-holding. Just smart people doing good work for clients who care about results.

───

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Paid Ads Specialist to lead performance advertising across a portfolio of 5-10 clients. This is a senior individual contributor role - you'll own strategy, execution, optimisation, and client reporting end-to-end, working closely with our Melbourne and Vietnam teams.

We're a forward-thinking team and expect you to actively leverage AI tools to work smarter - whether that's automating reporting, accelerating creative testing, or finding efficiencies across your workflow.

───

What You'll Do

• Own paid media strategy and execution for 5-10 clients across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok

• Build and optimise full-funnel campaigns - Search, Display, PMax, Retargeting, and Paid Social

• Manage conversion tracking end-to-end via Google Tag Manager and GA4

• Deliver monthly reports with clear insights, honest performance assessment, and strategic recommendations

• Manage budgets across a portfolio with accountability for spend pacing and ROAS targets

• Run structured A/B tests on creative, copy, audiences, and bidding

• Communicate directly with clients - presenting results and recommendations in plain English

• Collaborate with the SEO team on integrated search strategies

• Contribute to improving Ven's paid ads processes, templates, and quality standards

───

What We're Looking For

You must have:

• 4+ years of hands-on paid ads experience - at least 2 years agency-side managing multiple clients

• Proven Google Ads and Meta Ads campaign ownership (provide specific metrics in your CV - ROAS, CPA, spend managed)

• Fluent in GA4 and Google Tag Manager - you can install, troubleshoot, and interpret conversion data independently

• Experience managing $10,000+ AUD/month in combined ad spend across a client portfolio

• Confidence presenting campaign results and strategic recommendations to clients directly

• Proficient in English - written and spoken (our clients are Australian and international)

• Strong data skills - you interpret results and tell a story, not just pull numbers

Strong advantage:

• TikTok Ads performance campaigns

• LinkedIn Ads for B2B lead generation

• Looker Studio dashboard builds

• E-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopping campaigns)

• Experience mentoring or reviewing junior ads work

───

What Good Looks Like

You take ownership of results, not just tasks. You flag issues before clients notice them. You can explain a drop in ROAS in plain English without hiding behind jargon. You make optimisation decisions based on data, not gut feel. You don't wait to be asked - you proactively improve what you're working on.
