And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle – Office, Hybrid or Anywhere. 

Please note we are open to applicants based in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. 

What’s on offer: 

• A place where you can move your career forward, where you’ll be continuously backed to make new ideas happen, and the chance to do work that makes real, significant impact in the world.
• We’re proud to be recognised as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ by Great Place to Work®, a Family Friendly Workplace, a WORK180 endorsed employer for women and WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality.
• The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that’s you’ll actually have face time with.
• 24 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks paid secondary caregivers leave, six weeks paid gender affirming care leave.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for a talented Marketing Automation Specialist to be a core member of the Marketing Automation team at carsales. If you are passionate about using data and technology to create meaningful customer experiences, then this is the role for you.

You will be a hands-on technical expert with an inquisitive and growth mindset, constantly looking for growth and testing opportunities to deliver commercial outcomes. You will have a good understanding of marketing automation across various channels, such as email, push notifications, and in-app messaging plus advanced experience with marketing automation platforms. 

This role is a great opportunity for a marketing automation wiz to join a team of experts and craft digital experiences that resonate with customers and drive results.

• Design and implement sophisticated personalised marketing automation journeys that drive engagement and conversions across email, push, in-app message, and web channels.
• Use data and insights to identify opportunities for growth and take ownership to source data, build audiences, triggers and messages across all channels.
• Apply a test-and-learn (A/B testing) approach to journeys and campaigns that continuously drive performance and optimisation.
• Work with SMEs across other media channels to build collaborative, cross-channel customer journeys.
• Collaborate with data teams to integrate and maintain data flows into marketing automation platforms, ensuring accurate and timely data synchronisation.
• Analyse marketing automation performance and journeys, report on results regularly. Share learnings with the wider business, and uncover meaningful insights from campaign data to guide optimisation and further opportunities. 
• Understand and share expertise to participate in the innovation, development and implementation of new marketing automation features, system integration and ongoing development.
• Collaborate with other departments, such as brand, product marketing, and content to identify opportunities and drive continual optimisations.
• Continuously monitor industry best practices, emerging trends, and innovative technologies in marketing automation and customer lifecycle management. Implement innovative approaches to enhance customer experience and drive business results. 

What we are looking for?
