Marketing Manager (Tech/APAC) / Christchurch / $110k – $120k

Ready to transfer all your marketing experience into a growing NZ tech company set for regional growth? Do you get a kick out of leading key projects? Are you looking for a challenge and a role with more autonomy?

Our client, an established tech company, is looking for an “Action Marketer” who can focus on six main functions within the company – Creative Content Creation, Tech Product Marketing, Event Management, Trade Marketing, PR, and a small amount of digital marketing.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for working closely with the Head of Marketing, Sales, and Tech Product teams to execute the year-round marketing roadmap.
