Workshop Software is a cloud based platform that helps automotive workshops run their businesses: bookings, invoicing, inventory, customer communication, reporting and much more, in one place.
We sell to independent mechanical workshops in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa.
Our customers are hands-on business owners, and we shape every piece of communication to speak directly to them.
This role is responsible for the overall marketing function and our presence in the market.
The successful candidate will combine strategic oversight with direct execution, translating product capability into clear, commercially effective communication.
This role holds end-to-end ownership of content creation, strategy, demand generation, and lifecycle communications.
Responsibilities include the planning and execution of content across blog, video, and social channels; management of campaigns driving monthly trial and signup volume, including paid media performance against defined cost-per-trial targets; administration of our marketing systems (HubSpot and Userflow) governing CRM, lifecycle automation, and in-app engagement; direction and quality oversight of a retained bench of external specialists; and stewardship of brand messaging and positioning across every market and channel in which we operate.
You are the only marketer inside the business, however, you are not on your own.
You direct a retained bench of external specialists: a videographer, a paid media and Google Ads consultant, graphic designers, web implementers and business consultants who advise on marketing.
Budget for that bench already exists.
You publish without waiting for sign-off.
Blog posts, social, email campaigns, videos and website copy are yours to ship inside our brand guidelines.
That is deliberate: a marketer who queues everything behind a CEO approval produces nothing.Key responsibilitiesContent and channels
Plan, write and publish blog and SEO content on our WordPress site
Own our YouTube channel: choose topics, write scripts, direct the shoot, then publish, title, thumbnail and distribute
Run the social calendar across LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, with copy and creative that suits each
Write customer facing copy across email, landing pages, in-app messages and release notes
Repurpose deliberately: one shoot day or one strong article should feed several weeks of channel activity
Campaigns and demand generation
Own monthly trial and signup volume, and the campaigns that drive it
Build and send email campaigns, landing pages and product launches end to end
Responsible for paid activity across Google Ads and social, working with our paid media consultant, and hold that spend to a cost per trial
Own messaging across website, social and paid channels
Identify performance gaps, then fix them and report what changed
Directing the retained bench
Brief external specialists properly: clear scope, clear deadline, clear definition of done
Keep every retainer productively utilised, and report monthly on what each one delivered
Hold partners to quality and to deadlines, and escalate early when they slip
Recommend changes to the mix of retained support where the money would work harder elsewhere
CRM and marketing systems
Own HubSpot: workflows, nurture sequences, segmentation and lifecycle stages
Maintain database hygiene and keep reporting trustworthy
Improve automation so that repeatable work stops consuming your week
Provide clear, honest campaign performance reporting to the CEO
Lifecycle and in-app engagement
Manage and optimise in-app communication in Userflow
Build and refine onboarding sequences to improve activation and early engagement
Work with Product and Support so that messaging inside the platform is clear, helpful and commercially aligned
Messaging and positioning
Translate product capability into plain customer outcomes, in the language a workshop owner actually uses
Keep us consistent with brand guidelines across every channel and every market
Refine messaging based on customer behaviour, sales feedback and campaign results
Keep our positioning robust across all five markets we sell into
Referral and advocacy
Run and optimise customer referral initiatives across email, in-app and social
Monitor participation, conversion and program performance
Improve incentive structure, messaging and promotion, and test changes with leadership
Events and industry presence
Plan and execute industry events or trade shows, scheduled around the content calendar rather than in place of it
Coordinate pre-event and post-event campaigns, and track return and follow-up
Essential Experience and skills
4 to 6 years in SaaS, technology or B2B marketing, with most of it hands on
Strong writer.
Copywriting is the single most used skill in this job: blogs, emails, ads, landing pages, in-app copy
Comfortable in front of and behind a camera: able to script video, direct a shoot and turn footage into published, titled, thumbnailed content
Able to publish to a WordPress site without waiting for a developer
Experienced with a CRM and marketing automation platform, ideally HubSpot
Proven track record directing external suppliers, agencies or contractors and getting real output from them
Commercially aware: you understand marketing's job is revenue, and you are comfortable being measured on a number
Comfortable working directly with a founder and CEO, and confident enough to challenge constructively
Highly organised, detail driven, and able to hold many moving parts without dropping the weekly cadence
Able to talk to a workshop owner and write in their language, not in marketing language
Right to work in Australia
Bonus
Experience marketing to trades, SMEs or the automotive industry
Experience in a scaling SaaS business
Multi-market or international marketing experience
Hands-on SEO experience
Product-led growth or self-serve trial funnel experience
