About us

Wipertech is a market leading ecommerce brand that provides automotive wiper blades to everyday drivers.

Over 14 years, half a million customers across Australia and New Zealand have fitted our premium range of high performance wiper blades to their vehicles.

With over 30,000 5-star reviews and solid year-on-year growth, we’re on the hunt for the right leader to build on our existing Digital Marketing foundations to help drive further revenue and market share in line with our overall business strategy, which includes core product innovation, developing a range of accessory products, and international market expansion initiatives.

About you & the role

With a strong focus in customer acquisition you’re a seasoned digital marketer in the direct-to-consumer e-commerce space who is motivated by the growth potential within a large domestic and even larger international market.

You’re the kind of person that sets ambitious targets for yourself and the business.

After quickly familiarising yourself with the current state of play, you’ll be confident to create an intelligent, strategic and well communicated Digital Marketing plan and move swiftly into rallying the team on the path to relentless execution and continuous improvement.

While you can see the big picture and plan, you’re also a stickler for getting stuff done. You do this by being extremely organised and clear in prioritising the most important initiatives, even in the face of an unlimited well of creative ideas and finite time and resources.

You have rigour and discipline when measuring, reporting and communicating on marketing performance as well as a strong drive for continuously optimising the return on investment of marketing activities.

When things don’t go to plan, you’re curious and quick to learn why, but freshly armed with these new learnings, you’re equally as quick to forge ahead with the next activity.

Reporting to the Head of Marketing, the Head of Digital Marketing will lead our current internal marketing resources as well as our external partners such as our paid social and paid search media buyers, content creators as well as email agency, SEO, CRO and analytics consultants, coordinating them in an effort to continuously drive efficient revenue growth.

With time you’ll reshape the team as we grow and as the needs of the business evolve.
