Dear Facebook Titan

If you’ve been searching through countless lifeless job listings on Seek…

Almost slipping into a deep coma from the “We’re looking for a highly experienced marketing professional... blah blah blah” job adverts...

And you’re looking for an exciting opportunity to join the fastest growing digital agency in the country…

Then this will be the most important job listing you ever read.

Here’s why...

My name is Sabri Suby and I am looking for a sharp and hungry Facebook marketer to join my team.

But not any old Facebook marketer, no.

You must be a Facebook ads powerhouse.

Someone who has personally managed at least $1k per day in ad spend.

Someone who has scorched the earth with winning Facebook campaigns - showing the Zucks who’s boss.

More specifically…

You must be on a quest to take any ads manager you touch… and turn into a majestical place.

A Place Where The Zucks Loves To Come And Visit

So he Brings you all types of gifts, like:

• Lower CPMs
• Lower CPCs
• Lower CPAs
• And sky-high ROI!

This place is not fictional.

It exists.

Lemme show you what it takes to get there. Come closer. Listen...

You must live and breathe everything Facebook ads, copywriting, and funnels.

Someone who constantly keeps a swipe file and is forever on the hunt for winning ads to deconstruct.

Whether you’re split-testing headlines or new creatives…

Camping out in the mind of your dream buyer, gathering intel to pump up your copy on steroids…

Finding that unique ‘big idea’ for an upcoming campaign...

Or simply testing new targeting to scale an existing campaign...

There is nothing you can’t do.

No campaign you can’t scale to the moon whilst maintaining ROAS.

Now, a little about me…

I run King Kong.

We are a full-service digital marketing agency that is growing FAST!

For the last three years, we’ve been ranked as the fastest-growing digital agency…

And the 17th fastest growing company in the country by The Australian Financial Review…

But it’s not just me.

My business consists of…

90 Of The Wildest, Most Passionate Bunch Of Lunatic Marketers You’ve Ever Worked With...

And this is just one of the reasons we’ve been named in the Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia 2016, 2017 and 2018 by Anthill Magazine.

We’ve also been named the 9th most innovative media company in Australia by the AFR.

Look, the list goes on and on…because we’ve seriously won more awards than you can shake a stick at…

But enough about us, what about you...

In my experience, I have found that there are 5 kinds of Facebook marketers…

1. Sound on strategy, poor on execution.
2. Good communicators who lack that ‘killer instinct’...and don’t produce winning campaigns either.
3. Duds
4. The sharp media buyer who is lousy at strategy
5. Facebook marketing powerhouse who combine media buying and sharp copywriting (we can teach how to write copy that sells like crazy).

We have a position for #6 in our office in South Yarra...

But Before You Get ALL Excited…I’ll Stop You There...

Because this role won’t be easy.

We’re a fast-paced agency who demands nothing but the very best.

We have hundreds of clients in every niche you can think of…

From dentists to doctors, home builders to home loan providers.

And we’re truly an end-to-end agency.

We design, code and build...

1. Landing pages
2. Lead gen funnels
3. Ecomm funnels
4. Webinars
5. Video Sales Letters
6. Survey funnels
7. You name it we do it.

But what about the results? Are we any good at this marketing stuff?

Well in our office we let the numbers do the talking...And….

We’ve Generated $7.8 Billion In Sales In Over 416 Different Industries And Niches For Our Clients

It's quite a workload.

And, as such…

We’re looking for a super sharp Facebook marketing powerhouse to join the tribe.

Not only someone who knows marketing but someone who can communicate that value to clients alongside a team of other passionate marketers.

Maybe you’ve been a ‘lone wolf’ marketer for too long, and you’re looking for a change...Looking to be a part of something bigger.

Or maybe you’ve been stagnating at a company with no growth prospects and want to be surrounded by a team of hungry winners.

Whether you call yourself a copywriter, funnel hacker, conversion rate optimisation specialist, or a direct response marketer…

You share the belief that….

There Is Almost No Facebook Ads Problem You Can’t Solve With A Split-Test, Facebook Groups And A Good Facebook Rep...

Ha! Who am I fooling...we both know they don’t exist =|

But seriously, no two days in this role will be the same.

However, your responsibilities will include:

• Setup, manage and optimise campaigns within Facebook's ever-changing ads manager.
• Scrutinise analytics to identify areas of opportunity and utilise conversion rate optimisation tactics (i.e. A/B, split-testing etc) to squeeze as much ROI as humanly possible out of each dollar spent.
• Create ‘thumb-stopping’ Facebook creative that cuts through the
• newsfeed
• Manage landing pages and websites to install conversion codes and tracking pixels.
• Prepare performance analysis reports and make recommendations for corrective modifications with a view to ongoing optimisation.
• Manage and maintain ROAS/CPL targets
• Manage your time efficiently, we don’t run small campaigns...we scale em’ to the moon! There’s no, “Look mommy, I’ve gotta 1100% ROAS” on your grand total of $42 in ad spend.

Look, our ideal candidate will have an ‘I got this’ attitude...they will be solution-focused with a proven track record of running and scaling winnings campaigns.

You will have to possess the ability to run through walls to get to a solution.

And won’t be the type of person who throws their hands in the air and gives up at the first sight of a challenge.

What will your everyday work look like? Will it be boring?

Well, let me just say this...

The Ever Changing Climate For Running Ads Will Keep Your Workday Varied And Far From Boring!

For example...

One day you might be brainstorming how to take a campaign from 20 buyers per day…and scaling it to 400 buyers per day!

And the next day you might be dealing with getting a banned ad account back.

Or problem shooting a campaign that is not converting within KPIs.

You’ll have a full library of resources, books, courses, seminars and one-on-one mentoring with myself to take your skills to the next level.

So...If you’ve been looking for your opportunity to get your foot in the door with a fast-growing company...

Take ownership of a crucial part of our company's internal ads and prove you have what it takes to succeed…

Then this job description has no doubt been like a breath of refreshingly crisp air…

Here’s What To Do Next...

Please take the time to write a Cover Letter that tells me about YOU.

Not some wishy-washy cover letter like…

“I’m 34-year-old Sagittarius from Fitzroy - who enjoys philosophy, almond cappuccinos and Kanye West”...

No.

I want the details.

The juice.

The nitty-gritty.

Specifically why you think you would be the perfect fit for this role.

If you can’t take the time to do this.

Who is Flip?

Flip sits at the heart of the logistics ecosystem, enabling senders and carriers to operate, disrupt and grow in powerful and effective ways.

We harness the power of product, engineering and customer-centric design to build high quality, elegant solutions that we are proud of and our customers love to use.

We are made up of a bunch of curious technologists bringing a fresh perspective to modernising the logistics industry. We thrive on solving the hardest problems and this is reflected in our culture which encourages us to create, experiment and collaborate with our customers.

As an established, profitable and growing company we take our responsibilities to our customers seriously as we continue to build upon our data-driven platform to create a new ecosystem of integrated logistics.

We work flexibly with 4 days a week remote and 2 days working together in front of whiteboards in our CBD office.

What does this role require?

You will need a real commitment to working with customers and product people to deliver well engineered solutions that you are proud of, which are a joy to inherit, maintain and extend.

This role requires excellent cross functional collaboration and project management skills and experience with a focus on helping to ensure the right outcomes at the right time are being delivered.

You are an experienced team builder and an excellent coach to both individual contributors and team leaders.

You will be helping to deliver and extend a customer facing platform that within an interesting, complex, and highly unstructured domain - logistics and transportation. Your focus will be on team work and engineering excellence across the front and back end of this platform.

You will also need to be able to guide decisions around system and software design reasoning with an open mind, based on customer, engineering, and product considerations.

You will be working with customers, stakeholders, product and design teams ensuring cross functional cohesion and collaboration.

You are excited to imagine future strategic outcomes, and then turn that into action and results.

Who will I be working with?

You will work closely with the CEO to ensure the company mission, vision, culture, and strategy are effectively and consistently shared across your teams.

You will enjoy the company of a strong product team and together you will discover and unpack the needs, goals and frustrations of our customers in order to deliver high quality and valuable solutions that we are proud of and they love to use.

Each of your engineering teams have an amazing team lead and highly skilled and engaged Senior and Mid level Engineers. Each with an architectural understanding of building software. This has been important due to the complexities of new and existing software.

You will find the conversations you have are underpinned by deep levels of technical knowledge, curiosity, domain knowledge and a satisfaction of learning with other growth mindset people.

Can you tell me about the leadership?

Leadership largely resides in existing Engineers, Designers, and Leads.You will also find a very experienced technical CTO/CEO that facilitates this mindset and works on an equal footing with everyone, although naturally, with a commercial aspect to their role.

Company leadership listens closely and acts on the sentiment of both customers and technology whilst looking after business direction and commercial success.

How are things organised?

You will have three team leaders as direct reports with around 5 Engineers in turn reporting to them. One front end and two back end engineering teams. We are a lean shop that practises scrumban.

In addition our Geek4Geek will report to you. This person focuses on Kaizen, infrastructure, security, and compliance - they serve the overall engineering team and lend a hand where it is needed.

Who makes technical decisions?

Engineers do this together with the guidance of team leads and the engineering manager. You’re empowered not only to step up to lead, but to also step up to follow: You won’t be forced to accept things the way they are, but you will need the insight and maturity to determine when best to have backbone, or when to disagree with and then commit to the team.

Why would I apply?

• You love ambiguous, large, complex domains coupled with a mission and empowerment to simplify and take real ownership and responsibility to deliver engineering excellence.
• You might be looking for a mature and respectful environment with a high level of technical competence that is self organising.
• You might be after an uncomplicated and transparent hiring process. One technical conversation, one product, and one team fit/leadership. There will be technical and leadership discussions where hopefully you will feel challenged yet supported.
• You might be after a flexible work environment. Whilst this is not a remote role, you might enjoy a day or three working from home each week. Or you may not be a morning person. No stress.
• Generous salary.

Why might I not apply?

• You might prefer an environment where you get to make solo decisions without collaboration or care for others. If so then this role will probably not be a good fit. You will need a creative, tenacious and collaborative approach to creating solutions and be able to comfortably communicate your thoughts whilst listening to those you work with.
• You might be looking for a more traditional “management” role with direct reports under you that blindly follow your every whim. We have a flat culture and everyone is a leader, not always in the people management sense though.

What is the technology and what processes are used?

Hiring is not made purely on the basis of specific languages and tooling but as a guide the following skills would be useful:

• We try to follow lean principles more than an Agile™ - mainly scrumban.
• Serverless as an engineering first principle, containers second, and everything else is considered on a case by case basis
• Linux, AWS
• Distributed Computing: Event Sourcing and CQRS as one of the core patterns in use
• Transparent, honest, and blameless communication with high levels of individual accountability.

Flexible work arrangements.

$1,000 per annum to spend on professional development.

No agency canvassing.
