You'll thrive here if you're someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, gets energised by solving complex challenges and knows how to balance creative thinking with data and commercial impact.

- Partner closely with Sales to uncover merchant growth opportunities and create marketing activity that supports commercial priorities.
- Bring Zip's merchant value proposition to life through compelling communications, creative campaigns and engaging marketing collateral.
- Use merchant insights, customer data and campaign performance to make informed decisions, identify opportunities and continuously improve marketing effectiveness.
- Own the detail behind successful campaigns, including audience selection, budgets, creative development, tracking, quality assurance and performance optimisation.
- Measure what matters, using acquisition, conversion, engagement, revenue and return on investment metrics to understand performance and recommend improvements.
- Collaborate with Product, Brand and the wider Marketing team to deliver consistent, relevant and engaging experiences for our merchant partners.
- Experiment with new approaches, testing creative, messaging, audiences and channels to find smarter ways to achieve better results.
- Bring a proactive, solutions focused mindset to the team, balancing multiple priorities while supporting broader acquisition and marketing initiatives when needed.
