Our marketing approach is heavily influenced by our Australian roots, focusing on natural efficacy and engaging storytelling, particularly strong in the social and influencer space.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a motivated Performance Marketing Manager to join our team. If you're passionate about driving measurable results through digital channels, enjoy working with data to optimize campaigns, and have a keen interest in social platforms like TikTok, this could be the perfect role for you. You'll play a key part in our continued global expansion and the growth of our D2C online store, focusing on attracting high-quality traffic, acquiring new customers, and contributing to customer retention through effective paid strategies.

• Manage significant advertising budgets effectively across channels, ensuring optimal allocation and return on investment to achieve aggressive growth targets.
• Conduct rigorous A/B and multivariate testing on ad creatives, copy, landing pages, audiences, bidding strategies, and channel mix to continuously optimise performance.
• Utilise advanced audience insights, segmentation, and targeting strategies to reach and acquire high-value customer segments across different platforms.
• Collaborate closely with our creative team to develop compelling, on-brand ad creatives, specifically tailored for short-form video formats like TikTok, and landing page experiences that resonate with our target audience and drive action.
• Work cross-functionally with the e-commerce, brand, and analytics teams to ensure seamless integration of performance marketing efforts with overall business objectives, product launches, and the customer journey.
• Stay ahead of the curve on the latest platform updates, advertising trends, privacy changes, and best practices across the entire digital marketing landscape, with a keen eye on emerging social platforms.
• Implement and refine tracking, analytics, and attribution models to accurately measure the cross-channel impact of performance marketing efforts.
• Provide strategic recommendations for scaling successful campaigns, exploring new channels, and innovating our performance marketing approach.
• Manage relationships with external agencies or platform representatives where applicable.
