Community Marketing Manager (Melbourne or Sydney based)
Standard Ledger, Australia

This is an opportunity to gain valuable marketing experience and prove your ability to achieve business growth - all within the vibrant startup scene.

We’re Standard Ledger, a virtual accounting, CFO and advisory firm that specialises in supporting startups. As we scale our business in Australia and overseas, we’re looking for a hands-on marketing executive to ramp up our activity and help drive growth.

You’ll learn a lot in this role and develop a network in the startup ecosystem. You’ll build relationships with change makers and innovators and get to know interesting people doing amazing, astonishing and sometimes even mind blowing things.

We’re not your average accounting firm. That’s why startups and scale ups love us. And we love them because they’re endlessly interesting and often tackle complex problems for people and the planet. We’ve built our business around theirs, with scalable tech-enabled services for the accounting staples - bookkeeping, payroll and tax - plus all the financial support startups need to grow, like Ramp;D tax, grants, financial modelling, valuations and our CFO service.

We know what it takes to grow a business because we’re doing it too - over the last six years, our team has spread from Melbourne and Sydney to Manila, Adelaide, New Zealand and soon, the UK. We work from coworking spaces (because that’s where our clients are), and we’ve been working remotely and collaborating via tech long before the pandemic required it. In other words, we might be an accounting firm but you won’t find us in a stuffy old accounting office.

You’ll work with our Brand amp; Communications Manager to develop and execute marketing plans across earned, owned and paid channels. Key focus areas of your role include community building - through social media and events - and strategic partnerships. You’ll take the lead on organising events at co-working spaces and online, you’ll manage our social media presence and you’ll nurture relationships with strategic partners, such as accelerators and investment firms, to ultimately lead to deal flow.

You’ll work at one of our regular co-working spaces in Melbourne/Sydney with some of our other team members and home if you prefer a hybrid arrangement. You’ll also connect regularly with our Bamp;C Manager in NZ via tech, mainly Zoom and Trello.

If you were here this month, here’s what you might be working on:

• Developing next year’s multi-channel marketing plan with our Bamp;C Manager
• Organising two events with startup communities in Melbourne and Sydney
• Organising an online event with our founder and strategic partners
• Managing pre and post event promotion and lead nurturing
• Managing our social media presence with daily posts and interactions
• Catching up with strategic partners to discuss content collaboration opportunities
• Providing our key partners with updated collateral and a landing page
• Monitoring the outcomes of your activity via our reporting suite

Requirements

You’re a digitally savvy marketing professional based in Melbourne or Sydney. You have a tertiary marketing qualification and have been working as a marketing coordinator, executive, community manager or something similar for 2-5 years.

You’re confident in what you do, including writing, networking, organising and seeing things through to completion. You’re able to prioritise work to deliver projects to a high standard while keeping others on the boil. Like all of us, you’re a square peg in a round hole when it comes to the corporate world - you’re better suited to the agile startup world where actions speak louder than words and those with an eye for opportunity thrive.

Ideally, you’re already using tools such as Trello, Canva, Hubspot/Mailchimp and Wordpress or Squarespace. We’re happy to show you around the tools though.

Benefits

As well as your salary, there's the possibility of owning part of the bigger picture with equity in our business via our employee share scheme.

We are a WORK180 endorsed employer, which means we're committed to doing our part to improve workplace standards for all women. At a personal level, that means we're open to discussing what you need to make working for us work for you.

Oh, and we believe in birthday leave because sometimes, a little time off means a lot .
