 We’re back with our Alpha Digital pals. And this time? We’re not playing small.

Bringing you TWO of the most exciting Paid Media Account Director gigs in Brissy right now.

Not just “I can lead big accounts” energy. More “I set direction, influence the room and lift a whole team” energy.

Because Alpha isn’t coasting. They’re building, evolving and quietly raising the bar on what paid actually looks like inside an agency.

So if you’ve been waiting for something where you can truly lead it, not just inherit it, this is it.

WHY ALPHA

If you’re stepping in at this level, it needs to be worth it. This one is.

Alpha Digital has built a rep on doing things properly. Strategy that holds up. Performance that actually means something. Work that lands because there’s real thinking behind it.

But the real pull? What you get to own.

The client lineup is stacked. Kmart. Target. General Pants. Glue Store. Nude Lucy. Stone and Wood. Industrie. Mocka. QUT. You get the idea. Big brands, real scale and the kind of accounts where your thinking and leadership actually matter.

And the team? Just as good.

✨ Smart, switched-on humans who deeply care about the work
✨ Low ego, high standards, zero weird agency politics
✨ People who push each other and actually get better because of it
✨Test, learn, optimise, repeat energy

The kind of team where things just work. Rare, we know.

Alpha is now part of XPON Technologies, so you’re stepping into deeper data, smarter AdTech and real AI capability built in and at your fingertips.

Better tools. Better tech. Real momentum. A proper chance to shape what paid looks like next, not just talk about it.

THE GIG

You’ll own the direction of Paid Media across a killer team and a portfolio that’s honestly hard to beat. Leading your crew, shaping strategy end to end and being the senior paid voice across a dreamy lineup of brands. 

Reporting into the Head of Product and working closely with Exec Leadership, there’s real visibility and real influence. The kind where your voice actually carries real weight. 

Day to day, this looks like:

• Owning paid strategy across a high-value portfolio
• Leading annual and quarterly planning tied to outcomes
• Being the trusted voice in the room. Clear, confident, respected
• Overseeing performance, output and delivery
• Expanding beyond Search and Social into proper channel thinking
• Partnering closely with Client Service to create work that actually connects
• Spotting growth opps early and moving on it before anyone else does
• Playing a key role in pitches, proposals and winning the good stuff

And yes… the AI piece matters.

Think leading how AI shows up across strategy and delivery, building smarter and more scalable ways of working, and lifting how the team approaches performance.

This is where you move from leading accounts to shaping direction. Proper Paid Media leadership.

THE SETUP

Two roles. Two teams. One cohesive paid function.

You’ll lead a team of 4 and growing, with a portfolio sitting around $8-10M in media spend, working alongside another Paid Media Account Director to lift the standard across the department.

Serious scale. Real complexity. Clients who expect you to bring it. And they’ll notice when you do.

You’ll be leading performance, growth and development across your team, coaching and mentoring to lift capability, and setting the standard where good work becomes seriously great work.

You’ll be backed by strong leadership, but trusted to run your lane, back yourself and make it count.

WHAT YOU’RE WALKING INTO

This isn’t an “everything’s perfect” setup. Honestly, that would be boring.

It’s a team in evolution. Growing, landing epic new clients and gearing up for its next level.

There’s real opportunity to tighten how Paid and Client Service work together, push thinking beyond the usual media channels and bring structure as things scale.

So you’re not just stepping into a role. You’re stepping into something you can shape, influence and very visibly improve.

AND YOU?

You’re already operating at Director level or right there, ready for a step up. 

You’ve come up through paid, so you get the detail and can still roll your sleeves up when needed, but your real value now is how you think, lead and connect the dots.

You’ll likely bring:

• 7+ years in performance marketing with leadership exposure
• Strong capability across Search and Social with broader channel thinking
• Experience with large-scale clients and meaningful budgets
• Confidence leading senior client conversations
• A track record of building and lifting teams
• Strong commercial instincts
• Comfort balancing strategy, oversight and leadership
• Curiosity around AI and how it elevates the work

But more than that… You’ve got a point of view and you back it. You care about the work, you care about your crew and you’re ready to step into something bigger without needing your hand held.

PERKS THAT ACTUALLY PERK! 

✨ A killer L&D setup with a juicy annual training budget
✨ Hybrid done right. 3 days in Bowen Hills HQ, 2 WFH
✨ 2 weeks a year working from anywhere in the world
✨ Wellness allowance plus flu shots, skin checks and EAP support
✨ Paid parental leave that supports real life
✨ Loyalty leave that grows with you
✨ The Game Changer Award. Win it and you’re off to a global industry event
✨ And yes… plunge pools, sauna, ice baths, snacks and dog-friendly vibes. It’s a whole thing. 

If you’ve read this far, it’s probably not by accident. Roles like this don’t pop up often. Proper scope, a killer team and real say in where it all goes next.

So don’t overthink it. Hit APPLY or come have a chat first. We’re very here for that too.
