Growth Marketing Manager

?? About HEX

HEX is a global education startup based in Australia. We’re on a mission to unleash the talent that’s held captive in traditional education and career paths – and help young people take their place as leaders, sooner.

Our flagship product is ‘HEX Ed’, a 6-month innovation gap year experience focused on innovation, tech startups, design thinking and future mindsets. With HEX Ed, gap year students get mentorship from professionals, make friends around the world, and can even get academic credit at leading unis.

At HEX, we’ve run virtual hackathons and events spanning 17 time zones; organised global trade missions for Government clients; incubated hundreds of founders in innovation hotspots like Silicon Valley; and worked with Nobel Prize winners, Y Combinator-backed startup founders, TED coaches, Grammy nominees, venture capital investors, and tech / startup legends like Guy Kawasaki. We’re a lean, high-energy, remote-first team. We let our geek flag fly, learn new things daily, and hold ourselves to world-class standards (we’ve got the awards to prove it...)

We are proud to have empowered thousands of future leaders – now we need your help to really take this thing to the next level.

?? The details

Full-time role with a salary range of 80K - 100K p.a

The core team works in the AEST time zone, but you can be anywhere. We have co-working spaces in Fitzroy, Melbourne and Adelaide, South Australia. If you're based somewhere else, we can support you working fully remotely and discuss co-working options in your city. We do, however, want to have you based in Melbourne during your onboarding process or soon after (pandemic permitting).  

Our new Growth Marketing Manager needs to be someone who's up for a challenge. This role will suit someone who loves being hands-on with campaign execution, but also ready to be stretched into more strategic responsibilities.

Working closely with the CEO and Chief Growth Officer, you will blend data-driven marketing with creative flair, always with ROI and revenue generation front of mind. You’ll be ready to design and execute growth experiments, have a keen eye and ear for market trends. You’ll embrace the technical aspects of marketing – both front end (like socials) and back end (like automation).

As a strong communicator, you’ll embody the gutsy HEX brand and have an instinct for connecting with Gen Z. You’re ready to work hard, and push boundaries (yours and ours!). You’re ready for a steep learning curve and are the kind of curious person who will always do their own investigation first. You want to work, learn and grow with a flexible, award-winning team with a strong meme game, inspiring leadership and a global mission.

?? About you

• Mid-level marketing pro looking for ownership in a fun and fast-moving startup team.
• 3+ years in marketing or comms role (or equivalent experience where you can show how you helped to drive growth).
• Experience developing and executing marketing campaigns and calendars.

• Proficient with web editing software like Squarespace or Webflow (or willing / able to learn)
• Proficient with basic design tools such as Canva, Adobe, or Figma (or willing / able to learn). You don’t need to be a designer – but you need to know when something is breaking brand guidelines or just looks wrong.
• Proficient with social media scheduling and management.
• Strong stakeholder management skills. Be ready to build your network, fast.
• You understand the business drivers for marketing. You’re looking for an environment where you can prove your ability to make a difference to the bottom line.
• Nimble and motivated. You move fast, are self-driven and responsive
• Onto it. You keep up with the latest marketing trends and new platforms and let us know when we need to make moves. And with our youthful target market, you have an instinct for what makes Gen Z tick.
