2. About the role

2.1 Role Overview

We are looking for someone who wants to help build and manage the marketing function at a fast growing startup. We have been growing quickly through Account Management and Business Development to this point (due to happy customers and strong product-market-fit). As we move forward we are looking to fuel that growth by driving leads and revenue from marketing.

We are looking for a Marketing Manager (with responsibility for Demand Gen, Growth and Content Marketing) who will enable BoardOutlook to grow faster.

This role would be great for you if you are a marketing all-rounder, startup marketer, have some experience in content creation, or have been a marketing coordinator type role and are looking to learn more and have more ownership over marketing outcomes.

You’ll need to be a wordsmith, analytical thinker and have a good eye for design.

This role will have guidance and structure from a number of marketing channel frameworks we have built, as well as direct support from the Founder/CEO.

The role will be fast paced and action/execution oriented, so it’s most suited to someone who loves to do work and get in the weeds.

You will have an opportunity to build and own the execution layer of multiple marketing channels/areas and be a critical part of our growth journey.

2.2 What will I be doing day-to-day in this role?

Writing SEO optimised content and copy for the marketing website and other content channels

Updating marketing website and building website landing pages

Creating and monitoring paid ad campaigns

Posting, sharing and amplifying the content we are creating in other areas of the business through socials and other marketing channels including email and webinars

Working with the CEO and Sales teams to monitor Lead flow and quality

Joining meetings with the broader GTM (go-to-market) team to discuss broader GTM and product alignment

Helping launch new marketing channels/areas of focus

2.3 What will be the biggest challenges for me in this role?

There’s a lot of work to be done, and heaps of new marketing opportunities, so moving quickly will be key.

There are a few areas of focus, so jumping back and forth between channels, areas of focus and different projects will be common.

Marketing at BoardOutlook is new, so you will have to be comfortable with blazing a new trail and learning on the fly.

3. About you:

3.1 What kind of skills and experience do I need to have?

(Ideally most but not all)

Website development/building experience or exposure

Content marketing, ideally with SEO understanding/experience

Strong written communication skills

Ad platform/channel experience e.g Google Ads, Capterra etc.

Input or ownership of other content channels; email marketing, webinars etc.

4. Location:

Full-time hybrid role located at the Melbourne head office (East Melbourne). We operate on a hybrid basis with the expectation of you being in the office approximately three days per week.

5. Hiring Process:

5.1 What you can expect from our hiring process

For most roles you can expect to undertake three interviews plus a practical test. We respect your time in applying for a job, so you can expect rapid decisions after each phase - we typically try and get back to you in days rather than weeks.
