Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.
Where and how you can work
Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but in Aotearoa, we have a hub in Auckland that we call home to our local operations. And with that, you have choice in how and where you work. That means if you want to do your thing at our Auckland hub (if you're nearby) or at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.
What you’d be doing in this role

You’ll be a professional in rallying cross-functional teams and fulfilling the requirements of marketing teams. You’ll own and drive the GTM goals, strategy, market analysis, product launch, competitive intel, personas, buyer’s journey and sales enablement.
  • Product adoption & awareness - As a seasoned product marketer, you’ll partner with product and marketing teams to ensure to own and drive continue adoption and engagement of our product base.
  • Cross-functional champion - You’ll be the person that helps connect the dots between product, marketing and sales. You’ll have superb collaborator management and be a world-class communicator to ensure everyone knows what’s launching, when and how it impacts them.
