What is your base salary expectation in USD per month?

The base band for this role is USD $5,000–$13,000 per month, depending on demonstrated level and capability, with a possible 8–15% bonus. Give a single monthly figure in USD (numbers only).

What is your earliest possible start date?

If you are serving notice, give the first date you could realistically begin.

Which country and city will you be working from, and what is your nationality or current right-to-work status there?

We ask because contracts and working hours depend on it. For example: "Working from Lisbon, Portugal – Portuguese citizen" or "Working from Cape Town, South Africa – permanent resident".

Can you reliably work the required daily overlap of 2:00–6:30pm Melbourne time (AEDT Oct–Apr, AEST Apr–Oct)?

This role is fully remote and works well across Europe, the UK, South Africa and most of Asia. It does not work from the Americas. Please answer honestly – this is a hard constraint.

How would you expect to be engaged?

Choose the option closest to your situation.

How many years have you worked in paid media specifically for DTC or eCommerce brands?

Count only paid media for DTC/eCommerce, not general marketing roles.

Which best describes your paid media experience over the last two years?

Pick the single closest description.

List the agencies, brands or companies where you did this work, with your role, the dates, and the type of accounts you handled.

One line per role, most recent first. For example: "Agency X – Senior Media Buyer, Mar 2022–present – 4 DTC supplement and apparel accounts, $60k–$220k/month combined".

Which markets have you personally run paid media in?

Select all that apply.

UK Western Europe Nordics Central and Eastern Europe North America Australia and New Zealand Middle East Africa Asia

Have you personally owned an ad account spending USD $80,000 or more per month?

"Personally owned" means you made the structure, budget and scaling decisions – not that you sat on the team that did.

What is the largest monthly ad spend you have personally owned on a single account?

Use USD and choose the band that matches the peak month you were accountable for.

Which of these did you personally own, rather than support?

Select only what you were accountable for.

Campaign architecture and scaling decisions Creative testing roadmap and briefs Measurement, tracking and attribution setup Contribution margin or P&L modelling Forecasting and budget pacing Client relationship and reporting calls CRO and landing page testing TikTok Ads Email, SMS or affiliate Team or junior management

Which platforms and tools have you used in a working capacity?

Select all you have used yourself in the last two years.

Meta Ads Google Ads TikTok Ads Shopify GA4 Triple Whale Northbeam Looker Studio or Sheets modelling Foreplay Klaviyo Monday.com Loom or Miro

Share a link to proof of the spend and results you personally owned.

An anonymised dashboard export, platform screenshot, or a one-page summary in Google Drive with spend, revenue and efficiency metrics. Please check the link is publicly viewable and redact client names if you are under NDA.

Share a link to a piece of finished work you produced.

For example a client report, a forecast model, a testing roadmap, a creative brief or a scaling plan deck. Redact sensitive client data as needed.

Pick the single account you are proudest of and explain why the result happened.

Include the starting and ending monthly spend, the metrics that moved (NCAC, MER/aMER, contribution margin, payback), what you diagnosed as the real constraint, what you changed, and what you would do differently now. Please write it yourself – we read for specifics, not vocabulary.

A client sells at a $95 AOV with a 62% gross margin and a 25% repeat rate within 12 months. Meta is reporting 2.4x ROAS and the client is pushing to double spend next month, but blended MER has fallen for three weeks and the finance lead says cash is tight. Walk us through how you would work out the affordable CAC, what you would check to find the real constraint, what you would tell the client on Monday, and what you would decide about the spend increase.

Show your reasoning and your numbers. A few clear paragraphs is plenty – we are assessing judgement, not length.

Describe a difficult conversation you had with a client, and what happened to the relationship afterwards.

What the risk or problem was, when and how you raised it, how the client reacted, and whether you kept the account.

What have you read, watched or listened to recently that changed how you approach paid media or commercial thinking? — optional

One or two specific sources and what you actually did differently as a result.

Are you willing to complete a short technical assessment (approximately 2–4 hours of preparation and a 15–20 minute presentation) as part of the process?

This sits later in the process and is based on the kind of work the role does day to day.

Share a link to a 1–2 minute intro video.

Record on your phone, laptop or Loom – no editing or production needed. In under two minutes: say who you are and where you work from, the largest account you have personally owned and its monthly spend, and one thing you would want to understand about a client's business before touching their ad account. Upload to Loom, YouTube (unlisted) or Google Drive and check the link is viewable by anyone.

How did you hear about this role? — optional

Select one.

Is there anything about your circumstances we should know, or any adjustments that would help you take part in the process? — optional

Optional, and only what you are comfortable sharing – for example interview scheduling needs, notice period constraints or access adjustments. It will not count against your application.
