The Snapshot
You'd be joining an established Australian wholesale chocolate supplier and importer, distributing premium chocolate products to retailers, food businesses and hospitality customers across the country. It's a lean, director-led business with a loyal base of small and independent business customers built up over close to a decade.
Here's the honest part: growth has flattened out recently, and the Director knows the marketing approach that got them this far won't get them to the next stage. That's exactly why this role exists. You'd be the first dedicated marketing hire, working directly with the Director (not buried under layers of management), with real ownership over how the business finds its next customers.
As the Director puts it, the product is chocolate, but the business is really about gifting, rewarding, recognising and celebrating. That framing matters: the people you'd be marketing to aren't buying chocolate, they're buying a way to say something to someone else. Corporate gifting, client rewards, staff recognition, and the occasions (seasonal, cultural, workplace) that give a business a reason to send something thoughtful.
You'll work full-time hours aligned with Australian business hours, so you can coordinate in real time with the Director and the external agencies you'll be liaising with.
What You'll Actually Do
Lead generation and outbound email
Take ownership of outbound email marketing end to end: campaign briefs, building content in Canva, importing into Mailchimp, scheduling sends, and making sure everything goes out accurately and on time
Build and grow targeted prospect lists using lead generation tools (Apollo, Lusha or similar), researching segments worth pursuing, corporate and skilled services firms, membership and community organisations, and other B2B buyers where gifting and recognition are part of how they operate
Keep the contact database clean: ongoing verification and de-duplication to protect deliverability and keep bounce rates down
Campaign creation and content




Run the full campaign process from planning and content brief through to design, Mailchimp setup, sending and post-campaign reporting
Design branded assets (email campaigns, brochures, promotional material) in Canva, keeping everything visually consistent and ready to send
Write copy that leads with warmth and occasion, not product and price: chocolate is a discretionary purchase, so the words need to give someone a reason to feel something before they buy
Plan campaigns around the commercial calendar (seasonal peaks, awareness months, industry-specific occasions) and spot the moments where the product has a natural place, for example October's Mental Health Awareness Month
Database management and reporting
Maintain a well-segmented Mailchimp database, organised by customer type, industry and engagement history
Track open rates, click-throughs and unsubscribes, and report clearly to the Director on what's working
Agency coordination
Help the Director manage relationships with external digital marketing agencies: coordinating briefs, tracking deliverables, and reviewing what comes back
Be the internal point of contact keeping agency work moving and on track
Marketing admin
Keep a content calendar, track campaign deadlines, and keep marketing files and records organised
Bring practical suggestions for improving how outbound marketing runs, and support ad hoc marketing and business development tasks as they come up
What You Need to Bring
A real track record running outbound email marketing and lead generation independently: building prospect lists, running campaigns end to end, and improving results as you go
Hands-on experience with a lead generation tool such as
Apollo or Lusha
to build and qualify prospect lists (real usage,



not just familiarity with the idea)
Confident, independent
Mailchimp
experience: list management, segmentation, campaign setup, scheduling and reporting
Solid, hands-on
Canva
skills: you can put together a polished, on-brand email template, brochure or promo asset yourself (more complex design work goes to external designers)
Copywriting that can carry an emotional hook, not just push product and price
The ability to name a customer segment worth targeting and explain the commercial reasoning behind it, not just describe how you'd run a campaign to reach them
Organised and self-directed: you can manage a campaign calendar, task list and database without someone checking in on you
Nice to Have
Experience coordinating with or managing external marketing agencies or suppliers
Familiarity with email deliverability and list verification practices
A genuine interest in commercial, B2B-style marketing thinking: segments, occasions, and the reasoning behind who to target and when

Full-time, remote, working hours aligned with Australian business hours

What's in It for You
A real seat at the table in shaping how this business finds its next customers, not just executing someone else's plan. The Director is actively looking for outside thinking and will be personally involved in getting you up to speed, so you're not left to guess your way through it.
On top of that, Staffstream looks after you properly:
HMO health cover, with one dependent covered for free
Group life insurance
Paid leave credits
Work-from-home equipment provided
You're employed compliantly under Philippine law: a proper local employment contract, your taxes handled correctly, and all your government-mandated benefits (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) plus 13th month pay. That means real security and peace of mind, not a loose freelance arrangement. Everything is above board and looked after for you.
