About us

Cogent works with founders and teams to turn great ideas into thriving digital businesses.

We’re a talented team of product managers, designers and developers who work side-by-side with our clients to find elegant solutions to complex problems. We also back some of the companies we work with through our Ventures arm.

We’ve worked with many of the most successful digital businesses in Melbourne, and have a fast-growing list of happy startup customers. As we continue to grow, rolling out a robust and results-driven marketing strategy will be critical.


Marketing at Cogent
For this part-time 6 month parental leave cover, you’ll be our sole marketer, managing everything from events to paid social media advertising.

You’ll be curious about the world and have a broad base of skills and knowledge spanning the full marketing mix. You’ll love collaborating with the wider Cogent team internally, but also feel comfortable working autonomously to drive forward innovative marketing and brand ideas.

This is a unique position that makes a real difference to the clients we work with.

As our marketer you’ll:

• Utilise your skills ‘on the tools’, as well as your strategic brain

• Manage the annual marketing, events and content budget

• Guide your Cogent colleagues on what marketing initiatives are in the pipeline, and marketing best practice as it relates to Cogent

• Have a lot of room to experiment and flex your intrapreneurial muscles

• Have fun leading delivery on all marketing initiatives and events

• Live our values of transparency, creativity and usefulness in the way you approach your work

Your background...

You’re likely a bit of a digital marketing nerd who keeps up with the latest trends in technology and has a thirst for learning. Creating real tangible results from the campaigns you work on are what get you out of bed in the morning. You care about the people you work with, and the type of work that you do.

Here’s some of the experience we’re looking for - we doubt there’s one human who can do it all, but it’s a great conversation starter for where you might be strong or need more support:
 

• You have 5+ years of marketing experience, with a strong and varied mix of skills

• You’re commercially savvy and confident in sharing your ideas

• As the sole marketer managing everything part-time, you’re awesome at spinning plates and prioritising what’s going to make the biggest impact

• You’re a great communicator who’s equally happy to listen to others’ ideas as you are sharing your own

• You’re comfortable jumping from setting up Facebook Ads one minute to talking quarterly strategic goals the next

• You’re results driven, and take an iterative approach to finding what works best

Bonus points if you’ve got experience using these tools:

• Later

• Buffer

• Facebook Ad Manager/Adespresso

• Google Analytics/Adwords

• Hubspot

• Mailchimp

• Wordpress

• Eventbrite

• Medium

What it’s like to work at Cogent

We’re a relaxed yet dedicated team, who like to produce work that we’re proud of and head home on time to our families and friends.

We cater to flexible working arrangements, we like to have lives outside of work. We have a children’s book illustrator, a podcaster, a gardening enthusiast and active parents in our team and love the diversity this brings to our collective thinking.

We work in a light-filled workspace with good (and sometimes bad) music, snacks and ice-creams on tap. We have regular company activities to ensure we connect with each other and provide a welcoming home base for those folk working in client offices to return to.

We’re a values-based company and live those values actively every day. Our perks reflect what we believe is important; transparency, personal wellbeing, creativity, learning, diversity and usefulness.

So, kudos to you if you’ve found yourself reading to the end of this job post.
