At the McGrath Foundation, our brand is more than our name and logo. It reflects our belief that no one should go through cancer without the care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse. Every day, around 450 people in Australia are diagnosed with cancer. Meeting that growing need takes communities, partners, workplaces, supporters, and people across the country coming together. As custodians of our brand, the Brand and Marketing team shares stories that build awareness, deepen engagement and inspire action for people experiencing cancer.
The Senior Brand and Marketing Manager guides diverse activities across campaigns, brand, content and media, while keeping our messaging clear, warm and aligned to our purpose.
This is a 14-month fixed contract role with a hybrid working arrangement (3 days in the office and 2 days from home).
Reporting to the Head of Brand and Marketing, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering integrated campaigns and communications that support the Foundation’s revenue goals, marketing strategy, and organisational priorities.
As Senior Brand and Marketing Manager, you will guide the delivery of a significant program of activity across our core brand, campaigns, content and operational execution. Managing a talented team, including internal graphic design capability, this role will suit someone who enjoys a balance of hands-on project delivery and partnering across the organisation to produce meaningful, high-quality work.
You are an experienced marketing leader with strong capability across brand, campaigns, content and media. Confident managing cross-functional projects, you can guide creative work from brief to delivery and build trusted relationships with internal stakeholders, and partners.
