Marketing Lead (Fixed Term)

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Shippit is Australia’s best connected shipping software. Logistics infrastructure is a sophisticated beast, and we’re not only improving the experience for everyone involved, we’re impacting the planet in a positive manner: deliveries made through our platform are already 100% Carbon Neutral. Proudly Australian founded, we’re truly global in our approach and have the benefit of being a free moving scaleup with the security of impacting a growing industry that needs some love and attention.

The role

We're looking for a trusted, experienced Marketing Lead with a real understanding of growth marketing to take ownership of our marketing operations for a 12-month, fixed-term engagement - we're open to candidates looking for full-time or part-time, provided you can commit 4–5 days per week.

This is a broad, outcomes-owning role. You'll move fluidly between hands-on delivery and oversight depending on where you can add the most value, with genuine specialist depth in growth marketing at the core. You'll lead and develop a team of specialists across design and events - including overseas - and input into marketing strategy, and run the day-to-day: owning the growth plan while directing and quality-checking work across channels you're not personally executing.

Critically, this isn't a pure people-leadership role. We need someone with deep, hands-on growth marketing experience - comfortable being accountable for commercial outcomes, backing themselves on the tools, and building trust quickly with a new team. If that's you, this one's for you.

DAY TO DAY

Own growth marketing strategy and execution, keeping pipeline and revenue channels performing without disruption through the cover period

Lead, manage and develop the team (including the Events Coordinator, Design and a remote overseas report), keeping people engaged, clear on priorities and productive through a transitional period

Input to and operationalise the marketing budget against the agreed plan, keeping spend on track and directed to where it's working hardest

Partner with Sales and RevOps to keep pipeline contribution and attribution clear and defensible

Track and report on commercial outcomes across weekly, monthly and quarterly cadences, giving leadership reliable visibility throughout the engagement

Own and support the team's output across paid, lifecycle, design and events, and manage agency partners where relevant, so quality and brand standards hold regardless of who's executing

Own the marketing tech stack (e.g. Airtable, Factors.ai, Webflow, Zapier), keeping systems running without downtime or workflow breakages

Drive the team's AI adoption and coach others to do the same, building efficiency gains into how the team works by the end of the engagement

What you bring

Deep, specialist experience in growth marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS, e-commerce tech or logistics tech

People management experience, ideally including remote/overseas direct reports

A track record of contributing to strategy while staying hands-on with day-to-day delivery

Comfort being accountable for commercial outcomes, reporting on budget allocations, and understanding what numbers have the biggest impact and how to leverage them

Hands-on experience with marketing tech stacks — able to troubleshoot and manage workflows/integrations personally; experience with Webflow and ClickUp desirable

Confidence overseeing events, partnerships and design without needing to run every piece personally

Experience with AI practices and impact in marketing

Availability for a 12-month fixed-term engagement at 4–5 days per week

Strongly preferred:

Domain experience in Retail, e-Commerce or Logistics Tech
