About the Role

Are you a first-rate growth hacker and marketer with a passion for pets? Have your PPC campaigns earned the kind of results that you would be happy to frame? Are you at your best in a cross-functional environment, where “agile” defines each day? If you answered an emphatic “yes” to all three, then we have the role for you. 

Mad Paws is searching for a Growth Marketing Manager to scale our performance channels and drive customer acquisition. The right candidate will report directly to the Head of Marketing, and liaise with various teams to meet acquisition targets. As this is a newly created position, the right candidate will have the track record needed to define this role. 

Today, Pet Ownership is one of the fastest-growing markets in Australia. We are here to make Pet Ownership easier for all Australians, and we want you to join our journey.

Your Experience and Skills

  • Fluency in all digital marketing metrics including but not limited to CPC, CPL, CAC, CPM, LTV, ROAS, ROI, I2C, etc
  • A minimum of 5+ years experience managing customer acquisition & paid social media campaigns. Experience in a startup environment is preferred, but not essential

So you’ve got the skills, you’re still reading, and you’re wondering if you’ll find a good team fit with us at Mad Paws?
