About Summit Tech

Summit Tech is a Sydney-based web design and digital marketing agency run by an Aussie team of specialists. We build custom websites and run organic and paid marketing (SEO, content, Google Ads and Meta Ads) for service businesses, with CRM setup, automation and AI tools alongside.

We're official partners with TikTok and Pipedrive, and we share our Sydney office with TikTok. Paid media is our fastest-growing service, and this role is the first senior hire in it: the person who builds it into a team.

What you'll do

• Own a book of lead gen clients across Meta and Google: strategy, build, launch, daily optimisation and scaling.
• Run Summit Tech's own acquisition campaigns, including our website redesign funnel. Every qualified lead you generate feeds our sales team, and you earn on what closes.
• Drive lead quality, not just volume. Work with clients and our CRM (Pipedrive) to track leads through to booked calls and sales.
• Lead creative testing: brief and build ad concepts, hooks and landing page tweaks, using design and AI creative tools.
• Set up and maintain tracking: Meta Pixel and Conversions API, Google Ads conversion tracking, GA4 and Tag Manager.
• Be the client's paid media lead: clear monthly reporting, regular check-ins and honest recommendations.
• Spot growth opportunities with existing clients, like an extra platform, campaign or budget increase.
• Build the team: as the book grows, help hire and lead juniors on the path to Head of Paid Media.

What you'll bring

Must have:

• 4+ years managing paid media, with at least 2 years agency-side
• Proven lead gen results on both Meta and Google Ads, ideally for service businesses (legal, health, trades, professional services)
• Experience managing multiple client accounts and budgets at the same time
• Strong tracking skills: Pixel, Conversions API, GA4, Google Tag Manager
• Confident, clear client communication: you can explain results, good or bad, and back your recommendations
• A commercial mindset: you think in cost per qualified lead and revenue, not clicks
• Based in Sydney with full Australian working rights

Nice to have:

• TikTok Ads or LinkedIn Ads experience
• Graphic design skills or experience with AI creative tools
• CRM experience (Pipedrive, HubSpot or similar)
• Experience mentoring or leading a junior

How you get paid

Your earnings are uncapped and grow with the results you drive. Commission is paid monthly and tracked transparently in our CRM, so you always know where you stand.

1. Base salary: $65,000 – $75,000 + super, depending on experience.
2. Client retention commission: monthly commission on every client in your book who stays with us.
3. Funnel commission: commission on every website deal our sales team closes from leads your Summit Tech campaigns generate. You bring in the leads; we close them.
4. Growth and leadership bonuses: a bonus when your clients add a campaign, platform or budget, plus an override on your team's book once you're leading juniors.

Why join us

• A clear path to Head of Paid Media. You're the first senior hire in paid media, and you'll build and lead the team as it grows.
• Real upside. Few agencies pay you on the revenue your ads generate. We do, with no cap.
• Partner access. Work directly with our TikTok and Pipedrive partner teams for strategy and enterprise support.
• Support to do great work. Creative and AI tools, and a creative assistant as your client book grows, so you spend your time on strategy and performance.
• Hybrid and flexible. Sydney CBD office shared with TikTok, plus work-from-home days.
• A small, fast team. Direct access to the founders, quick decisions and no layers of approval.

How to apply

Send us:

1. Your CV or LinkedIn profile
2. Two or three lead gen campaigns you've run on Meta or Google, with results (CPL, lead volume, spend; screenshots are fine, with client names hidden)
3. A short note on the account you're proudest of and why

Shortlisted candidates will have a call with our Co-Founder, then a practical session where you review a live account and walk us through what you'd change.
