Paid Social Lead

Are you ready to get the Easygo Edge?

The Paid Social Lead is a key contributor and leader within the Paid Media team, reporting directly to the Head of Paid Media. This role owns Easygo's paid social strategy end-to-end, across Meta, TikTok, Reddit, Snap, X, and emerging platforms, setting the standard for how we show up, perform, and grow in social channels.

What you’ll build with us:

You will bring platform-wide expertise, a creative instinct, and a performance-driven approach to build paid social into a scalable growth channel. Working in close partnership with Organic Social, Creative, CRM, and Analytics teams, you will ensure paid and organic efforts are unified, and that Easygo's social presence is both compelling and commercially effective.

We know that innovation ignites when we build and create together, in person. This is a full-time opportunity at our Melbourne office. You’ll work right where it all happens, surrounded by our fearless crew shipping high-impact work.

Who is Easygo?

We’re a high-growth, high-velocity tech company with millions of eyeballs on us every day. We’re building the future of fearless tech. We’re the creators behind some of the most popular brands including Stake, KICK and Easygo Games. While they command a fierce global following, our crew is employed directly by Easygo and that’s where the real fun happens.

We’re always looking for people who are hungry, humble and move fast. People who are ready to Unify, Disrupt and Evolve with us. With us you’ll grow faster and go further. Your work has impact. And that gives you an edge you can’t get anywhere else.
