At PurpleCow Digital, we help businesses be remarkable and stand out from the crowd. We work with passionate Australian business owners — building results-driven websites and running paid campaigns that create real leads and sales, not just impressions.
We're a small, close-knit team of 5–10 (mostly Philippines-based, managed from Queensland, Australia) and we're looking for a motivated Paid Media Buyer to own our Meta and Google Ads accounts and grow with us long term.
Our specialty is the outdoor living and home improvement industry across Australia — outdoor blinds, shutters, patios, pools — plus pest control, eCommerce (WooCommerce) and other local service businesses. So this role is a mix of local lead generation and online sales.
Hours: 10–20 hours/week, Monday–Friday, 2–4 hours per day. Flexible, but must be worked between 7am–5pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
