SATC want their organisation to reflect the diversity of the communities and visitors they serve, and to be a place where people feel they belong and can make a meaningful contribution.

This is an opportunity to shape a contemporary marketing function at a time when the way people discover, consider and choose destinations is changing rapidly. You will bring together outstanding creativity, consumer and market insight, data and technology to build a more connected, effective and measurable approach to marketing South Australia.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead South Australia’s destination marketing strategy, translating the state’s strengths into distinctive propositions that grow appeal and visitation.

• Create an integrated approach across brand, digital, content, media, trade and partnerships to maximise the impact of SATC’s marketing investment.
• Harness consumer and market insight, data, technology and AI to improve decision-making, audience engagement, marketing effectiveness and destination discoverability.
• Build a strong culture of creativity, experimentation, measurement and continuous improvement.
• Lead a high-performing multidisciplinary marketing team and an effective ecosystem of agency, media, platform, trade and commercial partners.
• Identify emerging consumer, market and technology opportunities that can strengthen South Australia’s appeal and competitiveness.

About you

SATC are looking for an accomplished and contemporary marketing leader who combines brand-building capability and creative ambition with commercial thinking, curiosity and an orientation to results.

You will bring:

• Significant executive leadership experience in a sophisticated consumer, brand, customer or growth-focused organisation.
• A strong track record of building distinctive brands and translating marketing strategy into measurable consumer and commercial outcomes.
• Deep contemporary marketing capability spanning brand, digital, content, media, customer experience and partnerships.
