Job No: 142272

Location: Northgate, Brisbane

Closing Date: 26 Nov 2021 AEST

Marketing Coordinator (Rental) with Apollo Motorhomes located in global head office Brisbane.  

Not that it’s all about us…but here’s a bit about us:

I think most people have heard of Apollo Motorhomes. Come on – how many grey nomads, thrilled honeymooners and excited families have you overtaken on the highway? Branding opportunities for kilometres…a marketer’s dream, right? What you might not know is that Apollo is a massive Australian success story, being a listed multinational business founded in 1985 that’s best of all, headquartered right here in good old Brisvegas.

Apollo manufactures its own wide range of motorhomes and campervans and operates an exciting rental fleet. We also have 10 fabulous retail locations across Australia and NZ, including our Brisbane Supercentre. We only consider world class brands including Winnebago, Windsor, Adria and Coromal to be good enough for our customers, and we know that’s going to matter a lot to a marketing professional like you. To get a feel for the Apollo brand, and the magic your new marketing colleagues weave, check this out. 

Okay, this next part’s all about you:

Firstly, let’s talk about why you should want to work with us as much as we want to work with you:

• Culture: we know everyone says it, but ours is amazing. Successful and professional CAN go hand in hand with fun. After all – fun is what we sell, right? Apollo is a people-focussed organisation where diversity is important, and where we put a lot of effort into things from birthday celebrations and cocktail functions to opportunities for absolutely everyone to share your ideas and participate in the future direction of the business.
• Career progression: take your marketing career to the next level as our new Marketing Coordinator (Retail), then grow your skills set, experience and autonomy further over time and with expert guidance, in a successful multinational listed company. Your ongoing training will be an important focus. 
• Autonomy and pride: you won’t be micro-managed here. You’ll appreciate a high level of autonomy and the satisfaction of helping drive the growth of the retail division, not to mention the pride (and resume cachet) of being part of the marketing team in a well-known publicly listed Aussie icon.
• Money: let’s not beat around the bush (unless, of course, it’s in a Winnebago) - you’ll get a highly competitive salary between $55,000 - $70,000 based on your unique set of skills and experience. 
• Benefits on wheels: how about 2 days extra paid camping leave every year ON TOP OF your regular annual leave? How about staff product trials where you get to use gorgeous motorhomes and campervans free of charge throughout the year? Imagine your parent’s and kids’ joyful little faces? Or if you’re single, imagine picking up a date in a shiny new camper? We also offer a GREAT staff rental policy!

Now, here’s the ‘you and us' part – what does your new role entail and what will you be bringing?

Well as we’ve said, it’s an exciting and brand-new role for a full-time Marketing Coordinator (Rental) to join us in our head office in Northgate, Brisbane.  Reporting to the Sales and Marketing Manager - AU/NZ, you will be primarily responsible for bringing the Apollo rental brands to life through exciting marketing and communications strategies that support the overall growth of the Rental division.

We’ll love it if you bring practical experience in executing marketing strategies in a similar role, preferably (although this isn’t crucial) in the RV or Automotive industries. A tertiary qualification in Marketing or similar will be highly regarded. You’ll need a valid drivers’ licence, excellent time management and organisational skills and high attention to detail.

The environment’s fast-paced and we’re all striving for continuous improvement and growth, so the people that love their careers with Apollo are team players and we’re happy to go above and beyond to get the job done.  We’re comfortable with being held accountable for the output and quality of the work we deliver, and we all really love the autonomy and mutual respect that goes with that. 

Details…details:

None of this will be new to you, but you’ll be applying your marketing brilliance to things including:

• Maintaining websites including content updates, SEO, Google AdWords and other ad-hoc projects;
• Writing copy, creating, editing, uploading content for web, advertising, EDMs and other documents as required;
• Supporting for video, TV, print and online publicity campaigns;
• Assisting internal stakeholders and our dealer network with their individual marketing requirements;
• Maximising ROI for SEM, SEO and other paid digital channels;
• Developing strong internal relationships with various business units in the organisation and other industry contacts;
• Liaising with dealership partner agencies and key marketing suppliers;
• Assisting in internal and external event coordination which may involve attending events outside of office hours (eg. trade shows/expos);
• Preparing, analysing and presenting timely reporting in relation to ongoing marketing activity and data.

Apollo is an equal opportunity employer and encourages people of all backgrounds and genders to apply. So, what are you waiting for? Want to drive off into the sunset with us? We want you in the motorhome! - Apply Now!
