Communications & Marketing Coordinator

About the Role

This is a hands-on, generalist role sitting across Communications and Marketing. You'll support earned media campaigns, produce marketing content and cut video – sometimes all in the same day. We're looking for someone who can move between a press release draft, a social media carousel and an interview edit without losing the thread.

You'll work directly with the Director of Communications in Sydney and alongside a small team spanning communications and design. The work covers three distinct brands and shifts fast - you might spend the morning pulling data points for an Escrow.com industry report, the afternoon editing a case study interview into social clips, and the end of the day drafting copy for a Loadshift campaign.

This is a junior role, but it's not a passive one. You'll be expected to take ownership of tasks, flag problems early and produce work that's ready for review – not work that needs to be redone. A background in journalism, communications or marketing content production is preferred. Comfort with video editing tools is essential.

What You'll Do

Earned Media Support

• Draft press releases, pitch emails and media materials under the direction of the Director of Communications
• Maintain and update journalist contact lists across technology, business, finance, logistics and labour market beats
• Send and track pitch outreach; manage follow-up sequences; log coverage
• Scan RSS feeds, news aggregators and platform data daily for newsjacking opportunities across all three brands
• Respond to journalist callouts and HARO-style requests relevant to our platforms

Marketing Content & Campaigns

• Write marketing copy across formats: blog posts, landing page copy, email campaigns, one-pagers and sales collateral for Freelancer, Escrow.com and Loadshift
• Produce content and assets for product marketing campaigns – from concept development through to launch materials, landing pages and promotional collateral
• Help build out campaign ecosystems: if we're launching a major initiative, you're contributing to the video, the web assets, the social rollout and the supporting content – not just one piece of it
• Develop content that supports platform positioning, feature launches and strategic narratives
• Adapt tone and voice across three distinct brands: Freelancer (direct, no-BS, motivational), Escrow.com (premium, confident, trust-focused) and Loadshift (grounded, Australian, industry-respectful)

Video & Visual Content

• Edit interview footage, screen recordings and raw clips into polished short-form videos for social media and marketing use
• Produce campaign and product marketing videos – taking a brief from concept through to scripting, rough cut and final delivery
• Cut long-form content into social-native formats – reels, shorts, bite-sized clips – optimised for each platform
• Support the production of case study videos, campaign assets and explainer content
• Work with the Motion Designer on integrated content that combines video, graphics and animation
• Basic shooting ability a plus – ability to frame and record a clean talking-head interview or product walkthrough when needed
  

Social Media

• Draft social media copy across the four content pillars (Celebrate, Educate, Commentate, Captivate) for all three brands
• Monitor trends across platforms; identify formats, moments and cultural conversations with potential for high organic reach
• Develop and schedule social content calendars in coordination with the Director of Communications

Case Studies & Research

• Identify strong story candidates by mining internal data: transaction records, reviews, carrier profiles and high-value platform activity
• Conduct interviews with clients, freelancers and platform users; develop stories into case studies for earned media, social and marketing use
• Compile media monitoring reports and maintain earned media tracking logs
• Scan internal analytics weekly for content and story opportunities

What We're Looking For

• 1 - 3 years in a communications, marketing, journalism or content production role - with some exposure to product marketing or campaign development, not just editorial or social
• Proficiency with video editing software - Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut or DaVinci Resolve
• Strong written English - clean, direct prose that works across a pitch email, a blog post, a social caption and a video script
• Ability to context-switch between brands and content types without losing quality
• Good editorial instincts: you can look at a dataset or a user story and identify the angle worth pursuing
• Organised and self-directed - able to manage multiple briefs and deadlines without daily supervision
• Comfortable conducting interviews on camera or over video call

Nice to Have

• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite beyond Premiere (Photoshop, After Effects)
• Familiarity with social media scheduling and analytics tools
• Experience with media databases or PR tools (Muck Rack, Prezly or similar)
• Understanding of freelancing, fintech, logistics or marketplace business models
• Basic graphic design ability – can produce a clean social tile or simple infographic when the designer is at capacity
• Photography or videography experience
