Start Solar is a growing renewable energy and home energy solutions company based in Melbourne.

Our product portfolio has expanded beyond traditional solar and now includes:

-Solar Panels

-Home Batteries

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Digital Marketing & Lead Generation Coordinator who can help us build our online presence and, most importantly, generate quality leads that convert into sales.

This is a hands-on role. We are looking for someone who can plan, create, execute, analyse and improve marketing campaigns, rather than simply post content on social media.

THE ROLE

You will be responsible for managing Start Solar's day-to-day digital marketing activities across our different product categories.

Your primary objective will be:

Generate more qualified leads at an acceptable cost.

You will work closely with our sales team to understand which campaigns are generating genuine enquiries and which are converting into customers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

2. Facebook & Instagram Marketing

- Manage Start Solar's Facebook and Instagram presence.
- Create and schedule regular posts, reels, stories and promotional content.
- Develop Meta advertising campaigns.
- Create different campaigns for different products and customer segments.

7. CUSTOMER DATABASE & CRM MARKETING

Start Solar has an existing customer database and CRM.

You will be expected to help turn our existing customers into additional opportunities.

For example

Solar customer → Battery

Solar customer → Heat Pump

Solar customer → Water Filtration

Battery customer → EV / additional energy solutions

You will develop campaigns that allow us to sell additional products to our existing customer base, not just constantly look for new customers.

- Cost per lead
- Lead source
- Qualified leads
- Sales conversion rate
- Cost per acquisition
- Revenue generated
- Campaign ROI
- Website enquiries
- Email performance




- Social media performance

We don't measure marketing success by likes and followers.

We measure it by

Work closely with sales consultants to:

- Understand which leads are converting.
- Identify poor-quality leads.
