Job description

Quashed is NZ's leading insurance comparison platform on a mission to simplify a complex industry. We give consumers the transparency to choose better cover and help insurers connect seamlessly with everyday Kiwis.

Over 100,000 Kiwis already trust us, and we are charging toward 250,000. We’re a high-momentum, nimble scale-up based on Auckland’s North Shore. That means no red tape, direct access to leadership, and your work going live in front of tens of thousands of real customers from day one.

About the Role

This is a fast-paced, hands-on creative role designed for an ambitious marketer early in their career. Working closely alongside our CEO and Senior Performance Marketing Manager, you will be the creative engine of Quashed. You’ll turn commercial briefs into thumb-stopping paid ads, keep our organic social channels buzzing, and build an authentic brand presence across New Zealand.

While you won’t be managing ad budgets or bidding algorithms directly, you will learn the engine room of high-growth performance marketing: testing hooks, iterating ad variants, analysing win rates, and seeing real-time commercial return on every piece of content you produce.

Key Responsibilities:

Paid Ad Creative: Produce high-converting static, motion, and short-form video ad variations (testing different hooks, headlines, formats, and angles) across Meta, Google, and YouTube.

Organic & Short-Form Video: Plan, script, shoot, and edit Reels, TikToks, and Shorts that make insurance clear, relatable, and engaging for everyday Kiwis.

Brand & Visuals: Own our Canva brand kits and asset libraries, turning around clean, on-brand creative fast across digital, web, and social touchpoints.

Social & Community: Own the publishing calendar across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Moderate comments, respond to DMs, and feed customer sentiment back to the team.

Executive & B2B Presence: Manage our LinkedIn company presence and assist the CEO in drafting polished, industry-relevant thought-leadership posts.

Email & Lifecycle: Design, write, and assemble engaging lifecycle emails and customer newsletters, ensuring flawless links, proper segmentation, and sharp copy.

Agency & Reporting Collaboration: Coordinate briefs with external agency partners, audit deliverables to ensure brand alignment, and prepare weekly creative snapshots showing which ad hooks won and why.

About You

1–3 years of experience in digital marketing, social media, or content creation (agency, in-house, or freelance).

A solid portfolio showcasing short-form video (TikTok/Reels), paid ad creative, and social design work you’ve produced yourself.

Proficiency in creative tools: Confident in Canva and standard video editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar).

Exceptional eye for detail: Uncompromising standards when it comes to brand guidelines, specs, aspect ratios, and typo-free copy.

Strong Kiwi voice: Clear, natural writing in plain NZ English — equally comfortable writing a sharp TikTok hook or an executive LinkedIn update.

Organised self-starter: Comfortable juggling multiple briefs, testing rapidly, and working in a dynamic scale-up environment.

Eligibility: Valid right to work in New Zealand.

What We Offer

Competitive remuneration: Up to $90,000 package based on your track record and experience.

Direct mentorship: Work directly with our CEO and Senior Performance Marketer, gaining hands‑on exposure to paid acquisition, conversion strategy, and SEO.

High impact: Join a recognised, high-growth brand where your ideas are implemented immediately, not lost in review committees.

Flexibility: Office based with some flexibility with working from home
