Job description

Our client is NZ’s leading tech venture capital firm, setting the standard behind the standout. They are looking for a Head of Marketing & Community to join their team. As Head of Marketing & Community, you will have the opportunity to shape how New Zealand’s most successful tech venture capital firm shows up in the market and connects to its unique audiences.

This is a generalist role, perfect for someone who can promote and grow the brand while building and nurturing an engaged community. It is a highly autonomous role for someone who enjoys working amongst founders and CEOs, technology operators, investors and ecosystem partners.

The emphasis is on quality over quantity or conversion – they have built a position in the market over 30 years, with a brand that is highly discerning – not focused on spiels and sales, but centred on retaining unique relationships already in the market.

The right person for this role will be a marketing gun who is highly organised, can be both strategic and hands-on, and has excellent taste. You won’t be expected to run large campaigns or manage layers of agencies. You will work closely with Partners and the wider investment team, as well as trusted key creative suppliers across web, photography and videography, and print.

You will be the person connecting the dots, knowing when to bring in the right specialist/supplier or when to simply get stuck in yourself, whether that is writing up and designing a LinkedIn post, working from our social templates, briefing a videographer or organising an annual calendar of unique events. With the skills to think strategically, the autonomy to make things happen and personable gravitas to best connect with the people, companies and ideas shaping New Zealand’s tech community.

Ultimately, you will help build the reputation, relationships and momentum behind the business, ensuring every interaction reflects the quality and character of the firm.

With offices in downtown Auckland and Wellington, the role can be based in either location, with the expectation of travel for events and key activities.

This team is tight-knit, talented, senior-heavy, dedicated, passionate, and decent folk. All committed to achieving outstanding results inside the business and out in the world investing in top tech companies. If you are driven by tech and passionate about learning how investment activity grows Kiwi businesses globally, this is the place for you – we would love to hear from you.

Due to the volume of applications, we can only reply to candidates who are suitable for our current roles
