About the Opportunity
This is a senior marketing and brand role with a well-established, multi-product organisation operating in the tourism/visitor economy. This is a newly created position due to company growth.
- Own the marketing and brand plan for a diverse tourism portfolio (e.g., flagship experiences, emerging products, and awareness-building priorities)
- Act as the marketing “voice” for the tourism business unit partnering closely with operational leaders and senior stakeholders
- Drive integrated brand marketing across channels (social, content-led EDM, and traditional media like OOH/radio/print), partnering with digital/performance, creative, PR/partnerships and trade teams
- Lead strategy and delivery: shaping creative direction while staying hands-on with campaigns, content and copy when needed
- Work with a distributed team and stakeholders across multiple sites (face-to-face connection is key)
- Manage a small team across earned/content and campaign support), lifting consistency and capability
- You’ll be out and about building relationships, spending time on-site as needed, and comfortable with occasional travel to stay connected and effective (this isn’t a desk-only role)
What You’ll Bring
- Proven senior marketing experience with strong brand sensibility and creative judgement (not purely performance/spreadsheet-led)
- Demonstrated leadership, you don’t need to have experience managing a big team, but you can influence, align and lift capability
- Commercial acumen: you understand what drives revenue and how brand, channels and trade-offs connect
- Confidence operating across the full marketing mix (content, social, email, traditional media), collaborating with digital/performance, creative, PR/partnerships and trade teams
- Ability to prioritise in a complex portfolio establishing a baseline, focusing effort, and saying “no” when required
- High energy and adaptability for a fast-paced environment, with a genuine openness to the outdoors/conservation values
What’s on Offer
- A rare opportunity to shape the marketing direction for a high-profile tourism portfolio with real variety and impact
- Strong senior visibility and stakeholder exposure - this role bridges strategy and day-to-day decision-making
- A hands-on leadership role where your ideas, taste and judgement will be valued (and used)
- Queenstown lifestyle, with a role that suits someone who enjoys being out with stakeholders, not stuck behind a desk
- A stable, well-resourced business with ambitious brand-building projects ahead
