Employment Type: Full-Time | Location: Fully Remote | Reports To: Managing Director | Hours: Australian business hours

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on Head of Operations & Marketing to take ownership of day-to-day operations, digital marketing, lead generation, website management and business growth.

This is an execution-focused role. The successful candidate must personally manage digital advertising campaigns, update the company website, create content, analyse results and implement improvements. This is not a role focused solely on coordinating agencies or supervising other people.

A mandatory requirement is previous professional experience working remotely for an Australian business or Australian client.

Applicants should provide:

• Australian company/client name.
• Duration of engagement.
• Position/role.
• Confirmation the work was remote.
• Specific responsibilities personally performed.
• Platforms personally managed.
• Measurable results achieved.

Candidates without demonstrated Australian remote-working experience will not meet the essential requirements.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES1. OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

• Manage daily business operations and coordinate sales, operations, installers, suppliers, subcontractors and customers.
• Monitor jobs, schedules, delivery timelines and outstanding actions.

• Create audiences, lead-generation and remarketing campaigns.
• Test advertisements, audiences and campaign structures.
• Monitor cost per lead, conversions and lead quality.
