Job description

We are seeking an experienced, hands‑on Marketing Project Manager to join the payments marketing team of a leading global technology company.

This is not a traditional, purely administrative project management role - it is a dynamic blend of hands‑on marketing execution and structured project delivery. You will take core marketing objectives, translate them into actionable plans, coordinate cross‑functional stakeholders and external partners, drive execution, and use performance data to measure impact. Operating in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment, you will manage approximately 8-10 concurrent projects and workstreams spanning brand campaigns, CRM/lifecycle initiatives, and B2B2C partner marketing.

What You Will Do

• End‑to‑End Campaign Delivery: Own and deliver multi‑channel marketing campaigns from initial planning and creative briefing through to execution, launch, and post‑campaign performance review.
• CRM & Lifecycle Marketing: Drive one‑to‑one, lifecycle, and CRM initiatives aimed at accelerating customer acquisition and product usage, including hands‑on support with content development.
• B2B2C & Partner Marketing: Lead B2B2C marketing activities, coordinating deliverables seamlessly across internal teams and external commercial partners.
• Multi‑Workstream Management: Manage 8-10 concurrent workstreams - overseeing timelines, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and final deliverables.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with global and regional Marketing, Creative, Sales, Finance, and Legal teams to secure alignment and approvals.
• Agency & Vendor Management: Manage external agencies and vendors across briefings, deliverables, timelines, and day‑to‑day execution.
• Performance & Analytics: Track and analyze campaign performance, translating raw data into actionable insights for ongoing optimization.
• Budget & Process Governance: Support budget tracking, invoicing, and internal financial approval workflows, while continuously identifying ways to streamline marketing operations.

What We Are Looking For

Experience & Core Skills

• 5-8 years of professional experience, combining deep, hands‑on marketing expertise with 3-5 years of proven project management experience.
• Experience working in payments, finance, or FinTech
• Demonstrated track record executing across campaign management, CRM/lifecycle (one‑to‑one) marketing, B2B2C partner marketing, and marketing analytics/reporting.
• Proven ability to juggle multiple complex projects simultaneously without losing sight of the finer details.
• Exceptional stakeholder management, communication, and prioritization skills, with the confidence to navigate a global, matrixed organization.
• Experience briefing and managing creative agencies and external partners.

Mindset & Approach

• Execution‑Focused: You are a doer who rolls up your sleeves to get things across the line, rather than simply tracking status updates.
• Commercially & Data‑Driven: You understand the commercial "why" behind marketing activities and rely on performance metrics to guide decisions.
• Proactive & Accountable: You take full ownership of your workstreams, flag risks early, and thrive as a trusted, collaborative partner.

This is an initial 12 month day rate contract. It's a hybrid environment where you'll be required to be onsite in Sydney CBD 3 days per week.

Your reporting lines are local, however as part of a global team you will likely be required to attend weekly meetings outside of core Australian business hours.
