Paid Media Specialist
Own your accounts end to end, from strategy to client results.
We're hiring an experienced Paid Media Specialist to own a portfolio of e-commerce client accounts across Google Ads and Meta Ads: strategy, campaign builds, day-to-day optimisation and client-facing reporting. Fully remote, joining our paid media team alongside Carlo, Robbie and Wade. This is an exclusive, full-time role, no other jobs, freelance clients, or businesses during working hours.
Omnia Digital is a certified Google, Meta, Shopify and Klaviyo partner. You'll be joining an established, recognised agency.
Brands you could be working with
A Specialist E-commerce Growth Agency
Omnia Digital is a specialist e-commerce agency pushing the boundaries of what's possible for online brands. We're revenue-focused, and our team is made up of highly specialised people who each focus on a single job, and do it exceptionally well.
E-commerce only
We work exclusively with online brands and retailers. It's all we do.
Revenue-focused
We measure success in our clients' sales, not vanity metrics.
Specialists, one job each
Every team member owns a single, specialised role and does it well.
We're building the best e-commerce growth agency in South Africa, known not only for results but for best-in-class customer service.
The business is growing fast, and the people who help drive that growth are recognised for it.
This Is an Ownership Role, Not an Execution-Only One
You'll run accounts and client relationships with minimal oversight from day one. You'll work at the same level as our current specialists: owning a book of accounts, building and launching campaigns without hand-holding, and handling client communication on your own.
You'll own a portfolio of e-commerce client accounts end to end across Google Ads and Meta Ads, from strategy and campaign builds to tracking, day-to-day optimisation and the reporting meetings where you explain results to clients directly. You contribute to account strategy, not just execute someone else's plan.
And it's one role. You'll never be expected to cover multiple roles, just your own, done well.
Your Three Core Responsibilities
You'll own a portfolio of client accounts end to end, from the first campaign build to the quarterly review.
Run your accounts on Google and Meta
- Build and launch new campaigns from scratch: structure, targeting and budgets on Google Search, Shopping and Performance Max, and Meta Feed, Advantage+ and catalogue campaigns
- Run day-to-day optimisation: budget reallocation, bid and targeting adjustments, pausing underperformers and consolidating campaign structures
- Troubleshoot and audit accounts: catalogue and pixel issues, competing campaigns, tracking gaps and structure clean-ups
- Do keyword research and competitor and market checks that feed into campaign plans
- Contribute to account strategy, not just execute someone else's plan
- Pick up TikTok Ads and Bing Ads where accounts extend onto those platforms
Own tracking, setup and creative briefs
- Set up and maintain GA4, Google Tag Manager, Google Merchant Centre feeds and Meta Pixel and CAPI
- Own technical onboarding for new clients: platform access, initial account builds and go-live
- Brief new ad creative based on account performance and hand it off to our design team
- QA creative before it goes live
Lead client reporting
- Send scheduled mid-month reporting updates between formal meetings
- Run monthly or quarterly reporting meetings directly with clients: results recap, targets review and next-quarter planning
- Run 90-day onboarding reviews for new clients: what's been done, what's working and the plan to the first full quarterly review
- Handle offboarding documentation when a client leaves
- Keep Asana tasks and account documentation current as work moves
The Platforms and Tools You'll Use Every Day
Some accounts also run on TikTok Ads and Bing Ads.
Salary, Hours and Working Model. Upfront.
No "market related". Here's exactly what the role offers.
What You Get as Part of the Team
The salary is the starting point. Here's everything else that comes with the role.
Yearly raise as standard
An annual increase for team members fulfilling their role, so your salary keeps pace with inflation.
Fully paid Year End Function
A year end function for the whole team, fully paid. That's us in the photo at the top of this page.
Your birthday off
Take leave on your birthday. No questions asked.
Two-week December break
The business closes for around two weeks every December, and these days come from your annual leave entitlement. It gives the whole team a chance to properly switch off over the festive season.
No weekends or after hours
Your time outside working hours is yours. No weekend work and no after-hours work expected.
Highly engaging remote team
Fully remote, never isolated. You'll work with a connected, engaged team every day.
4 months of role training
Structured training on Omnia's systems, clients and processes, so you're set up properly from day one.
A dedicated team lead
Weekly meetings with your team lead for guidance and support. No one is left to figure things out on their own.
Systems and processes in place
All the systems and processes you need to do your role are already in place. No guessing and no being thrown in the deep end.
One role, done well
No role overlap. You'll never be expected to cover multiple roles, just your own, done well.
Quarterly check-ins
Regular reviews of your progress as you grow your knowledge, expertise and earning potential within your role.

You'll get 4 months of training on our systems, clients and processes. Onboarding is about learning how we work, not learning paid media.
Must-haves
You'll need all six of these.
- A full-time commitment: this is not freelance or part-time work, and you can't hold another job, freelance client, or business during working hours
- At least 2 years' hands-on Google Ads experience running live budgets, not just certifications
- At least 2 years' hands-on Meta Ads experience across Feed, Advantage+ and catalogue campaigns, on the same or an overlapping timeline
- Direct client-facing experience: you've personally run client calls, not just fed numbers to someone else
- Experience running recurring monthly or quarterly reporting meetings, explaining performance, handling pushback and proposing next steps in real time
- The ability to own a book of accounts independently: building and launching campaigns, managing tracking setup (GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel and CAPI) and handling client communication on your own
Nice to have
Not essential, but they'll help you hit the ground running.
- TikTok Ads or Bing Ads experience
- An agency background managing multiple client accounts at once, rather than one in-house brand
- E-commerce experience, especially Shopify, and comfort treating platform data as secondary to store-reported revenue
- Product feed management experience (Google Merchant Centre or feed tools)
- You've handled a churn-risk conversation with a client, not just a routine reporting call
Is This Role Right for You?
