Junior Paid Ads Coordinator 📍 Cremorne, Melbourne | 💼 Paid Internship / Junior Entry-Level | 🚀 Path to Full-Time Strategist

The Opportunity

Uprise Digital is looking for a switched on, detail-oriented Junior Paid Ads Coordinator to join our team in Richmond. This is a hands on role designed for someone at the start of their marketing career who wants to move beyond theory and start building real world results.

You'll work directly alongside our strategy lead and founder, assisting in the execution of high-performance campaigns across Google and Meta. This is a paid position with a clear path to becoming a full-time Strategist for the right person.

What You'll Be Doing

• Campaign Execution — Assisting with the technical setup of ads: uploading creative, setting budgets, and QA-checking links before launch.
• Creative Coordination — Partnering with our content team to ensure all ad assets (video and stills) are campaign-ready.
• Ad Copywriting — Drafting headlines and captions that authentically match different client voices and speak to real customer pain points.
• Admin & Tracking — Keeping pixel/conversion tracking firing correctly and maintaining clean, well-organised ad accounts.

Who You Are

We're not looking for a finished product. We're looking for the raw materials of a high-performance marketer. Specifically, we want someone with these qualities on Day 1:

1. Pattern Recognition You're not afraid of numbers. You can open a spreadsheet, look at campaign data, and form a logical point of view on what's performing and what isn't. You don't need to know everything — you need to think clearly.

2. The Creative Eye You don't just scroll TikTok and Instagram — you understand why you stopped on that last ad. You know what a hook, a bridge, and a CTA are, and you can articulate why a piece of content works (or doesn't).

3. The Copywriter's Ear Strategy is applied psychology. You can write like a human — punchy, clear, and specific. A headline that calls out a real pain point (e.g., "Tired of waiting 3 days for a quote?") is worth more than a hundred generic ones.

4. The "Figure It Out" Factor When you hit a technical snag, your first move is YouTube or Google — not asking someone else. You are the person your friends call when they can't solve a problem. This trait is non-negotiable at a fast-growth agency like Uprise.

Day-to-Day Essentials

• Comfortable working with Excel or Google Sheets — no advanced formulas required, just logical thinking with data.
• Based in Melbourne and able to commute to our Cremorne office.
• Strong written communication — you can draft a clear email, a tight brief, or a punchy ad caption.
• Actively following the marketing/business world — whether through creators, podcasts, or your own side projects.
• Reliable, detail-obsessed, and not afraid to ask smart questions when you're stuck.

The Path Ahead

We don't want you to be a coordinator forever. The first 12 months are about mastering the technical foundations — campaign setup, tracking, reporting, and copywriting. Perform well, and the path to a full Strategist role is yours.

This means eventually owning client strategy, leading campaign ideation, and sitting across the table from high-ticket clients — so we're investing in people who want to grow fast.

Done. Including these perks transforms the role from a "junior desk job" into a lifestyle upgrade. In Cremorne, the environment is half the reason people want to work there.

Here is the updated Lifestyle & Perks section to add to your Job Description. It frames the lower base salary by highlighting the massive personal savings (gym, coffee, entertainment) they get for free.

The Perks: Beyond the Paycheck

• We are based in The Commons (Cremorne), one of Melbourne’s most iconic creative hubs. Working at Uprise means you aren't just getting a desk; you’re getting a high-performance lifestyle package that includes:
• The Health Club: Full access to our on-site wellness studio and gym. Skip the $50/week gym membership—you can hit a HIIT class or a yoga session right here in the building.
• Rooftop Views: Access to our private rooftop terrace. It’s the best spot in Melbourne for a midday break or an afternoon strategy session.
• Social & Culture: Every Friday (and most Thursday afternoons), the beer and cider taps are open. We host regular community events, from food pop-ups to networking nights with Melbourne’s top entrepreneurs.
• End-of-Trip Facilities: High-end showers, lockers, and secure bike storage if you like to cycle or run to work.
• The Network: You’ll be sitting in the "Silicon Valley of the South," surrounded by the best agencies and tech start-ups in the country. The networking opportunities here are worth more than any university degree.
