- Manage and execute the social media content calendar, building an engaging presence across key channels.
- Support the delivery of email, website and digital campaigns, including landing pages and lead-generation content, across the Australian and New Zealand markets.
- Coordinate incoming marketing requests and manage project timelines to ensure smooth, on-time delivery.
- Partner with the Marketing Manager and the wider sales team to support campaigns and lead-generation initiatives.
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's degree in biology, biotechnology, biomedical science or a related life-science discipline required.
- Hands-on graphic design skills with a portfolio; proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) essential.
- Recent graduate to around 3 years' experience in a marketing, design or communications role, ideally within life sciences, biotechnology or a scientific/technical industry.
- Experience with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
- Experience with email marketing platforms (e.g. Mailchimp), WordPress or similar website content management, and social media (LinkedIn, X) highly regarded.
- Exposure to event coordination or field marketing an advantage.
- Strong graphic design skills with an eye for brand-consistent, professional output.
- Excellent written communication, with the ability to translate technical and scientific content into clear, engaging copy.
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines.
- Comfortable adopting marketing technology and AI tools to work more efficiently.
