FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR PART-TIME OR FULL-TIME CAREERS OR CONTRACTOR/FREELANCE OPPORTUNITIES READ HERE

Culture is really important to us at The Creative Collective and as such who we choose to work with is super important.

We are a fast paced company and most roles are multi-faceted which requires exceptional organisational, time management and prioritising skills, ability to adhere to budgets and pre-defined briefs and an ability to cope under pressure.

You should have high energy and passion for what you do, a commitment to delivering excellence and a hunger to prove yourself. You will be prepared to become intimately familiar with our current systems, processes and procedures and be entrepreneurial and commercial in your thinking.

Although we have a solid team of full-time and part-time staff across our offices on the Sunshine Coast and in Newcastle, we often have overflow work. Some of our contractors have been working with us for several years and are very much a part of our team, attending our social functions, chatting to us daily online, and contributing to our private Facebook group – our ‘virtual’ office water cooler.

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 demonstrate their 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 people with digital marketing skills, specifically website developers (front and back end), search engine marketing specialists (SEO & Google Ads), social media specialists (content & ads), graphic designers with digital experience, and copywriters. We do not currently have any requirements for photographers or videographers. We are also most interested in hearing from people who have current industry credentials rather than degrees & certificates such as:

Facebook Blueprint certifications
Google certifications

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.
