About the Role
We are looking for a Marketing Director to help deliver our performance targets as business in 2026.
The two main areas of focus will be:
Creating sustainable healthy unit economics in our Australian market. We are transforming Australia from a lead generation model into a marketplace experience for users. The role will need to grow user sessions and revenues from non-paid sources like SEO, CRM and App, as well as working with the product team on conversion rate optimisations and repeat usage (LTV). There will then be a need to think about how the marketplace model can migrate to other major markets.
Support hitting trading targets in our major UK & US markets which operate with a lead generation model. This requires a high degree of understanding across paid marketing channels which includes PPC, affiliates and social. The focus will be on diversifying the current mix (heavily PPC reliant) whilst maintaining profitability.
You’ll oversee the end-to-end management, strategy, delivery and optimisation of online marketing with a marketing budget of c.£30 million a year.
In summary, you’ll create bold online strategies that will deliver commercial results. We are looking for a strong leader, with a bias for action, who is prepared to roll their sleeves up and be hands on in driving change along with the ability to develop and coach our performance marketers. We are growing fast, with a global presence and strong financial backing — so if you enjoy pace and change and want to make impactful change then this role is for you.
