About Funky Food

We’re on a mission to rebuild Australia’s food system by reducing waste, supporting local producers and making healthy food affordable for everyone.

In the 4 years we’ve existed, we’ve delivered 750,000+ boxes packed with over 8 million kg of fresh produce, ethically raised meat, and pantry products with a purpose. We’re here to make it easy for every household to eat nutritious, tasty meals at a fair price.

We’re a bootstrapped, small team trying to do big things, and we need an enthusiastic, hands-on Content Lead to join this journey with us.

About the role

We are looking for a Content Lead to come and make things with us. This will be a genuinely fun role. Funky is full of stories - the growers we buy from, food that was headed for waste turning up on someone's dinner table, two warehouses full of people who pack these boxes every day. We need someone who can make emotive content which brings these stories to life.

You will be making short form video most days, and you will be on camera for a good part of it, because often what works for us is a real person talking to a phone. One week you are out at a farm, the next you are in the kitchen, and in between you are trying a format you saw take off on TikTok the night before and getting it live while it still works.

You will be our first dedicated creative hire, so the creative direction here gets shaped by you rather than handed to you. Ideas go live the same week you have them. There is no approval chain and no waiting around, just a small team who will back your instincts and give you what you need to make engaging, powerful content.

You will report to Katy, our Marketing Director, with plenty of access to the CEO and the rest of the team.

What you'll do





Most of your week is making content that will drive sales and build a community on our organic platforms. Short form for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, taken from an idea in your head to something published. We have a team of video editors and work with existing content creators, so you would have those tools plus must be able to quickly edit and post things yourself. Speed and consistency is key. And you must be keen on being on camera!

You will be watching what is working across the internet and moving quick enough to use it. Finding a format, adapting it to Funky, getting it out while it is still live. Speed matters more than polish here.

You will also be managing product photoshoots, working with external content creators and photography specialists if required for the content. You will make the creative that runs in our ads and be very involved with paid ads and media buying.

You will also help us ensure our branding is consistent across all formats - emails, SMS, the website, the box itself. You will be responsible for making sure everything feels aligned and cohesive across the brand and different locations.

Who we're ideally looking for

You have probably got two to four years behind you and you are ready for a job with more room in it.

You might be at a DTC brand or another ecommerce business making their content.



You might be self employed as a creator or a freelancer. You might be at an agency making content for other people's brands and wanting one of your own. Or you might be a marketing coordinator who is ready to step up into their next role.

What matters most is that you make things. We want to see that you can take a video from an idea to something published, on your own, and that you do it often. If you have made something take off, tell us about it. If you have not yet, but you can explain exactly why the things that do take off do, that counts too.

Beyond that, you are comfortable on camera, you would rather ship ten things this week than perfect one, you notice when something looks off brand and fix it without being asked, and you care about which video actually worked rather than just how it looked.

What to expect

- Mostly in office in Woolloongabba, with regular visits to our warehouse at Rocklea
- Travel to farms, and occasionally to NSW and VIC
- Must be based in Brisbane or willing to relocate
- Hands-on, self-driven work
- Full-time

Why Funky Food

We are on a real mission to create a positive change in society. You will be joining at the ground floor of a hungry, bootstrapped startup with massive ambitions and make a real difference.

- Full ownership of the creative function, in a small team with no layers
- Mission-driven work with massive real world impact
- A small, sharp team with a culture you can help shape
- Lots of variety - you’ll be on a farm on one day, in a studio the next
- Flexible, quick-paced, and meaningful work

If this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for considering Funky.
