We're looking for a Paid Media Manager to lead the strategy, performance, and evolution of paid media across Gallagher Security. Building on a strong foundation, you'll shape how we invest, engage priority audiences, and use paid media to drive awareness, demand generation, and pipeline growth across global markets.

Reporting to the Head of Digital, you'll own the paid media function end to end, from strategic planning and campaign development through to agency management, optimisation, budget ownership, and performance reporting. Working closely with marketing, sales, and regional teams, you'll ensure paid media delivers measurable business impact at every stage of the customer journey.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own and evolve the global paid media strategy across channels, platforms and regions, identifying where to invest, test and optimise.

• Develop master campaign briefs and account-based marketing approaches aligned to business priorities, buyer needs and priority accounts.

• Lead the media agency relationship, ensuring campaigns launch effectively, spend remains on track and performance expectations are met.

• Use funnel and conversion data to improve performance, shift investment and strengthen lead progression from MQL to SQL.

• Partner with digital, brand, creative, product and regional teams to align paid activity with buyer journeys, attribution and future personalisation capability.

You love finding smarter ways to reach, engage, and convert audiences. Commercially savvy and data-driven, you're comfortable challenging assumptions, uncovering opportunities, and using insights to optimise performance. Whether you're partnering with agencies, influencing stakeholders, or shaping strategy, you bring energy, curiosity, and a relentless focus on results.

You’ll bring:

• 4–6+ years’ experience in paid media, performance marketing or digital advertising, ideally in B2B, a technical industry or an agency environment.

• Proven experience managing agency partners and campaigns across platforms such as LinkedIn, Google and programmatic media.

• Strong knowledge of funnel metrics, conversion optimisation, MQL-to-SQL progression and digital analytics or reporting tools.

• The ability to develop clear campaign briefs and collaborate effectively with brand, creative, product, communications and regional stakeholders.

• Excellent communication, organisation and project management skills, with a proactive, solutions-focused approach.

At Gallagher, we foster a collaborative, innovative environment where continuous improvement is how we work. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to directly influence how customers, partners and teams learn about our technology, helping create training content that is accurate, accessible and impactful. You’ll work alongside passionate product, training and learning design specialists in a culture that values curiosity, trust, practical problem solving and balance so you can thrive both professionally and personally.

We also offer:

• Competitive salary and bonuses

• Hybrid flexibility (typically 3 days in the office a week, with additional onsite days required depending on work demands)

• KiwiSaver on-top and Life and Disability insurance

• Mentorship and professional development opportunities

• A supportive team culture with team-building events, and a fun environment

Growth at Gallagher is constant, and we are building our team with like-minded individuals who relate to our story so that together we can continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.
