We're Hiring

Role Overview

The Head of Brand Marketing & Events is responsible for crafting and executing our entire brand strategy to enhance the brands exposure, reputation, and engagement within the marketplace of athletes, sporting parents and the broader strength and conditioning & physiotherapy industries.

The primary function of this role is to grow the reach, engagement and reputation of the Athletes Authority brand across all digital platforms (inc but not limited to: Website, IG, LinkedIn, TikTok, Google, FB, YT, Spotify, Skool etc) measured by strong organic lead flow that meets the majority (>60%) of inbound sales requirements.

The secondary function of this role is to plan, produce and post engaging short and long-form content (as measured by our content KPIs) using the resources and talent at our disposal: our own staff, and, contracted videographers, to support both our requirements for demand generation (short-term lead generation), and long-term brand marketing and reputation.

The tertiary function of this role is to support the sales team with engaging copy and creatives for paid advertising, email marketing & landing page development.

Key Style & Character Traits

You'll be an innovative and creative thinker who can see the big picture and adapt to an ever changing marketing 'meta.' You move quick and work well on "ASAP" timelines. You think outside the box, and challenge the status quo.

You have the macro awareness to realise that one of the most important assets we have is our brands future reputation, so you keep that in focus. You orientate yourself around making the brand be as valuable and useful to the industry as it can possibly be.

You could join the circus as a juggling artist, because you don't crumble under the challenges of handling multiple marketing initiatives and projects all happening at once. You can maintain a focus on results and don't start making excuses if there are multiple irons in the fire.

You find solutions to problems, rather than problems with solutions. You recognise that there are always challenges in marketing, but find joy and satisfaction in overcoming them. You approach these challenges with an open-mind and are open to feedback from the rest of the team who might have a different perspective to you.

How To Apply

If you've thoroughly read the above and think you'd be a great fit, follow the application process below:

Email Karl a summary video (karl.goodman@athletesauthority.com.au) of why we should consider you as a great fit for the role. Showcase your creative capabilities and editing skills here. Utilise hooks, a payoff and keep things engaging. The subject headline of the email should be a showstopper, and make me want to open the email. Craft a great email which makes me want to click the video link.

If I watch the video through to the end, I'll reply back and we'll catch up for an interview.

If that goes well, we'll invite you into the facility to film content for the day. You'll then be tasked to create some short-form reel content after a morning of filming on the gym floor. Alongside that, you'll take the content from the reel and re-format it as a broadcast email to our database, and, as a X/Twitter post to see how you repurpose content. This will be paid, so you can take the day off work.

If the content slaps, you'll get the job. If the content doesn't cut it, then I'll give you feedback about what you need to improve, and we'll likely give you another shot at it, although you won't be paid a second time.

Still keen? Then I'm looking forward to opening your email.
