Marketing Assistant in Sydney

Are you obsessed with data, partner success, taking action, and changing the game? If you have a whole lot of hustle and a touch of nerd, come work with Pattern!

Pattern accelerates brands on global ecommerce marketplaces leveraging proprietary technology and AI.

We're looking for someone with 2+ years' experience in ecommerce, marketplaces, partnerships, or technology who wants their next move to directly fuel business growth.

What is a day in the life of a Marketing Assistant?

• Lead Generation: Own and report on lead generation activity across events, webinars, content, and email, with every campaign building Pattern's pipeline of prospect brands.

Partner with the sales and partnerships teams to ensure leads generated through marketing activity are handed off cleanly and followed up.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Pattern in its best light every day. You're often the first impression a prospect brand has of us, at events, in webinars, and in outreach.

• Content Marketing & Database/Email Marketing: Assist in creating content such as blogs, case studies, and whitepapers that positions Pattern as an industry leader. Help maintain and grow the B2B email marketing database, and support campaigns built for lead generation and event promotion.
• PR & Media Relations: Collaborate with our external PR agency to ensure alignment with key messaging. Assist in writing and submitting award applications and tracking media coverage.
