Senior Performance Executive

What’s the Role About?

A Senior Performance Executive has 2-4 year’s experience in media agencies, focused on driving best in class paid social and paid search campaigns. If you’re passionate about performance marketing, love diving into data, and want to be part of a team that values growth and creativity, we’d love to chat!

As a Senior Performance Executive, you’ll be hands-on in planning, implementing, and optimising paid social and paid search campaigns. You’ll work closely with your integrated team to ensure every campaign is delivering results, while also developing your strategic thinking and client management skills. You’re also ready to start helping a performance coordinator understand their role too and training them in some of the tools and skills they need. You’ll be attending client meetings and in some cases you’ll be presenting your work including performance campaign plans, reporting and post analysis. You’ll start to build your network of industry mates who work in media, by attending media events, lunch and learns and lots of cups of coffee with the people that will keep you in the know about what opportunities exist for clients.

You’ll enjoy dedicated training from both internal and external teams, across Performance specific areas, broader media landscapes and soft-skills development. We've got a strong team of passionate performance specialists, who meet each fortnight for learning and development, sharing of good work, and lots of banter! Hatched Media holds a Premier Partnership with Google – opening up opportunities for betas, training, awards and events. But that’s not all – you'll get to connect with our partner reps across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and beyond!

As a Hatchling, you’ll attend loads of staff events at Hatched; What’s Cracking all-staff gatherings every Tuesday morning, Good Thursday Great Talks every month, our mid-year celebrations, Christmas party and our special birthday event held on Valentine’s Day.

As a Senior Performance Executive at Hatched, you’ll help turn performance media plans into action. You’ll manage the day-to-day implementation of performance campaigns, and help ensure our work is delivering against key performance goals. You’ll also be supported to take on more responsibility and grow your confidence with client communication and performance strategy.

This role is all about:

• Campaign Execution – setting up and optimising high-performing paid media campaigns.
• Data & Insights – analysing results to uncover opportunities for growth.

• Collaboration – working with internal teams, clients, and media partners to push campaigns further.
• Client Management – building strong relationships and communicating insights clearly.
• Continuous Learning – staying ahead of platform updates and industry trends.
