Marketing Specialist - Datam - 10 month contract | Auckland

Digital Communications Specialist - Datam

• Parental Leave cover until end September 2026
• Ability to drive & own results
• Highbrook based with hybrid working

Working with Datam, you'll get the best of both worlds. We operate like a small business to help our customers deliver great experiences through communications, yet we have the necessary foundations and support of NZ Post when we need it.

We're looking for a Digital Communications Specialist to join us on a fixed-term parental leave cover — ideally starting mid November 2025 through to September 2026, while one of our team takes time out with their whānau.  You'll step into a key role responsible for leading and delivering both digital communications and marketing initiatives. It's a great opportunity to bring your digital and creative skills to a trusted, people-first business and make an impact from day one.

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

You'll take a hands-on approach to brand management, email delivery and marketing initiatives, ensuring desired outcomes are achieved.  You'll be the guardian of Datam's brand across online channels and within internal and external marketing collateral.

Here's what that looks like day-to-day:

• Lead the deliverability of specific email campaigns; prior experience with email platforms would be ideal
• Keep our website and LinkedIn fresh, on-brand and customer-focused — improving usability and content along the way
• Create and maintain great tools and collateral that help our sales and product teams tell our story. Experience with Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Suite would be desirable
• Support marketing and PR activity that builds our brand and grows our customer relationships
• Be a go-to connector across teams — work with tech, product, and the customer success team to make sure communication flows smoothly inside and out

As part of the Product team, you'll work closely with the Product Managers to understand customer needs and will also collaborate with Technology, Sales and the Service Teams to execute programmes that drive successful customer engagement, outcomes and brand preference of Datam.

Mōu - About you

You're experienced in email delivery and understand the detail and design thinking that sit behind successful communication outcomes. Your background might span B2B, marketing, communications or digital design, but what really sets you apart is your curiosity, initiative, and confidence to take ownership and deliver results. You've got a good eye for visual storytelling and know how design and content work together to create an engaging customer experience.

We're a collaborative bunch who thrive on teamwork, sharing ideas and enjoying what we do, so we're looking for someone who also enjoys working with others, isn't fazed by ambiguity, and knows how to make progress even when the path isn't perfectly clear. You'll have great support around you, but we'll also trust you to bring your own smarts and experience to get things done.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience in achieving results through management of email delivery
• Strong written communication skills and a knack for creating clear, engaging content
• A solid understanding of design principles and experience creating or guiding visually effective digital content
• Analytical know-how to track, interpret and report on digital performance
• A collaborative, proactive style and the ability to engage easily with a wide range of people
