Opportunities for employment, freelancing, work experience and internships
Home > About Us > Careers

We turn potential into powerful, and regularly have full-time and part-time career opportunities for new team members, contractors, interns & work experience students. And, we’ve been doing this for 15 years.

We seek to employ kind, genuine and driven people who are passionate about what they do,a commitment to delivering excellence, and who have the agility and expertise to keep delivering and evolving.

We are professional, but fun.  We are grounded, straightforward and direct. We are there for each other – in good times and in challenging times and situations.

We value diversity in people and in perspectives, and will always consider each others point of view, whatever they may be.

We offer strong professional development & career opportunities, and training can be provided to applicants who have gaps. 

Our team of full-time and part-time staff are split evenly across our Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) and Newcastle offices (Wickham), however we offer flexibility and are open to remote working. We are always on the look out to add to our team of staff or our wider network of contractors, many of whom have worked with us for 10 years or more, and who relish the opportunity to receive a constant flow of work from someone who pays on a timely basis, without the need to go out and drum up new business or chase clients for bills unpaid.

Working for us as a contractor means you can get the best of both worlds – you get to play on your strengths and bury yourself in what you do best whether that be SEO, PPC, social media, PR, copywriting, graphic design or otherwise. We supply you with a steady stream of work and you bill one person who pays on a timely basis – us! There are also sometimes opportunities to work with our sister companies – The Training Collective & awardshub.com.

Please note we do have high expectations, and will only hire people who can commit and have proven experience, or who can demonstrate initiative, are reliable, able to communicate well and adhere to our systems and procedures. If this sounds like you, see some of our current career opportunities below.

Please note that due to the volume of applicants we receive on a weekly basis, we are unable to respond to every one we hear from. If we are interested in progressing your application, we will be in contact. Please do not turn up at our offices without an appointment, or contact us to follow up your application.

Given we specialise in digital marketing, we are most interested in hearing from the following disciplines, and specifically we are most interested in hearing from people who have current industry credentials such as:

  • Facebook Blueprint certifications
  • Google certifications

Please note we have current needs for people with:

  • Social Media Ads skills
  • Graphic designers who have web design experience including responsive design

We do not currently have any requirements for illustrators, photographers or videographers.

Don’t know where your skills sit? Need to upskill? Take our test and we can connect you to up-to-date digital skills training through our sister company, The Training Collective!

The end goal for anyone who works with us is to keep our clients expectations exceeded, their businesses kicking marketing goals and our competitors envious. If you are driven, ambitious and love the sound of all of this, apply below.

If you think you’ve got the goods, email emma@thecreativecollective.com.au or APPLY NOW ON SEEK and tell us in your cover letter why you think you’d rock this role and how foolish we’d be to overlook you. 

Work from our Sunshine Coast office, work from Newcastle or work from home. The choice is yours.

We are currently looking for social media ads specialists to work with us part time or freelance.

Initially, successful individuals should have capacity to take on around 10-15 hours a week (1.5-2 days), but with potentially for up to full time as we onboard new clients.

In this role you will work closely with account managers taking a brief from them or joining for the briefing session with the client, and then using our proprietary templates & systems (we will give you training) to prepare campaign plans then present to client, with the account manager.

You will then be responsible to mobilising the ads in Facebook Ads Manager if a FB/IG campaign, or in Linkedin Ads or in Pinterest Ads, subject to the type of campaign being run.

You will monitor and manage ads throughout the month switching off any non performing ads and mobilising new ad campaigns as required.

You will then be responsible for conducting analysis and preparing reports and taking the client through results, again with the support of an Account Manager.

You will have access to regular training opportunities through our excellent relationships with most of the major social networks, and also internally via our sister company The Training Collective.

If you have social media content preparation & boosting experience, and/or Google Ads experience this would also be favourable.

This is a role highly suited to individuals with a proven track record in social media content and ads and who are efficient and confident (not learning) given you may be working with national clients with high expectations (and some small ones too).

As a self driven and efficient individual, you will need to be able to juggle many tasks and projects at once.

We are a fast paced company and though we can provide training you will be expected to hit the ground running.

You should have high energy and passion for the role, a commitment to working with us for a minimum of six months or more, and a hunger to prove yourself.
