We are looking for an experienced Marketing Manager to lead our marketing function.

About the role

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role covering the full marketing function — strategy through to execution.

About you

• Senior, full-funnel marketing experience, genuinely hands-on across email/CRM, e-commerce and paid media
• Strong analytical, reporting and commercial decision-making skills
• A strategic brand storyteller and precise writer with flawless attention to detail.
• Calm and organised under a demanding, varied workload
• Experience in specialty coffee, hospitality or FMCG highly regarded but not essential

This is a significant, high-impact role at the centre of a growing, independent Melbourne coffee business. If you're an experienced marketer looking to take full ownership of a brand, we'd like to hear from you.
