About the Local Hire Group

Local Trailer Hire is an Australian trailer sharing marketplace that connects trailer owners with people who need a convenient and trusted way to hire. Local Trailer Sales is our companion marketplace, helping private sellers and trailer retailers connect with buyers across Australia.

Both businesses are built around making trailer ownership, hire and sales easier. We are growing and need someone who can help us look after our community while also finding practical, creative ways to attract more owners, hirers, sellers and buyers.

About the Role

This is a varied, hands-on role for a genuine all-rounder. You will be the friendly, solutions-focused voice behind our marketplaces, helping customers navigate bookings, listings and enquiries while resolving issues fairly and clearly.

You will also help shape and execute our marketing across Local Trailer Hire and Local Trailer Sales. That includes social content, organic and paid social campaigns, Google Ads, SEO, website content and performance reporting.



The balance between customer service and marketing will shift from week to week, so you will need to be comfortable moving from a sensitive customer issue to writing a campaign, improving a web page or reviewing advertising results.

This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership and is equally happy thinking strategically and getting the work done.
