You'll work closely with senior leadership to elevate marketing performance, implement automation, and enhance outreach across multiple channels. The ideal candidate is not only technically capable, but also a strategic thinker who can suggest improvements, drive performance, and take full ownership of marketing operations — from podcast management to LinkedIn performance tracking.

Please note: this role operates on Australian working hours (AEST/AEDT), so you must be comfortable with the time zone alignment.

• Manage the content calendar and evaluate content performance to refine strategy.
• SEO & Website Oversight

• Technically confident with: LinkedIn outreach platforms, CRM tools, and automation systems; AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for content creation and process improvement; video/podcast editing software and graphic design tools; SEO tracking platforms and website CMS platforms (e.g. WordPress); performance tracking using Excel dashboards, tracking sheets, and analytics tools.
• Advanced Microsoft 365 user (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive); Google Suite familiarity is a plus, but Microsoft proficiency is essential.
• Strong understanding of website SEO, including experience managing or liaising with developers and vendors.
• Experience managing digital content schedules and leveraging performance data to guide future campaigns.
• Ability to edit and manage full podcast productions and coordinate with guests.
• Previous exposure to the recruitment and/or accounting/finance sector is strongly preferred.
