About Aurora Expeditions and the Spirit of Adventure.
Aurora Expeditions is an Australian-owned adventure company specialising in small-group voyages to the Polar Regions and other wild, remote destinations around the world. We pioneered ship-based adventures over 25 years ago and we remain committed to small, low-impact groups keen to not just see, but experience our range of remote destinations. From the start, we were destined to be different, and our passion for adventure, exploring wild places, and sharing the experience with friends continues to burn bright, as does our preference for small-group, personal expeditions.
We specialise in destinations off the beaten track. So far off in fact, that often there is no track! A world leader in expedition cruising, we offer passengers the chance to have an intimate experience of the destination, with the support of expert staff and flexible, innovative itineraries.
At Aurora Expeditions, we were the pioneers of some previously unheard of activities such as polar diving, polar kayaking and camping on the ice in Antarctica, and we are looking for people who share the same sense of adventure and excitement about life that can share that passion with our customers and keep them coming back time and time again.
About the Opportunity.
Aurora Expeditions is looking to welcome a Marketing Assistant to our team in Surry Hills, NSW, on a full time basis.
Reporting to our Marketing Manager, this role will see you working across the company website, social media sites, publications and promotional material, and events. Joining a holistic marketing team, this role represents a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the end-to-end process of marketing and learn about all aspects of the field.
Specific projects that you will be involved in include:
- Become our Website Champion! You will ensure that all website content is up to date, provide creative input into new areas of the site to develop and with the help of our handy developers, maintain the health of the website;
- Managing social media sites to increase social media presence, writing content, scheduling posts, and reviewing audience responses;
- Writing, proofreading, and editing content for publications and promotional materials, as well as producing passenger collateral such as trip notes and information documents; and
- Organising, managing, and promoting events, consumer fairs, and trade shows as required.
About You.
Have you been looking for a company where you can contribute your ideas and prove yourself in the marketing world? Have you completed tertiary studies in Marketing, Communications or Media? Are you looking for a place to shine? If so...we have been looking for you too!
As this role is heavily web based, we need a Digital Marketing superstar. An understanding of how Content Management Systems are used is a must, but don't worry, we will train you on ours. Experience with HTML and Google Analytics would be an advantage, however there will be training in this area for the successful candidate. Although not required, any experience with the Adobe Design Suite (ie Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver) will set you in good stead for liaising with our Graphic Designer.
Most importantly, you will be positive and motivated, with great attention to detail and strong organisational skills. As a member of our close-knit team, you will be excited to work with our products and services, with an interest in travel, conservation and environment, and the drive to continue learning.
Join a top-class team.
Outside of the Marketing team, you will associate with all areas of the business, including the sales team, reservations, office, and operations. One of the most exciting aspects of marketing for Aurora is that you are representing a genuinely unique service with highly acclaimed staff. Our expedition staff are some of the best in the business, with many being recognised as world leaders in their fields - everything from photographers, to historians, to naturalists, to professional mountaineers! They enthusiastically share their knowledge to ensure that everyone in the business from sales consultants to deck hands are educated on our product and the amazing destinations we visit.
We love what we do and believe that everyone involved shares the same goal – to provide the best expedition imaginable!
Not only that, but we also have a strong focus on environmental sensitivity and enrichment; we make a conscious decision in every part of our business to limit our footprint on the environment - everything from limiting the number of people we take to our destinations, to helping develop international environmental guidelines for the polar regions we visit, to using reusable coffee cups in the office!
What we can offer you.
With the company having grown in recent years, we are always on the lookout for experienced, dynamic and passionate team members, and we understand that we need to put in the work to keep them engaged and excited in the business.
On joining Aurora Expeditions, you will be given a competitive base salary of $50,000 - $55,000 including super, negotiable with skills and experience. You will also be thoroughly supported in learning the business and the marketing processes and products we employ, with great potential for professional growth.
You will enjoy marketing a product that people are actually interested in, making this all the more suitable for a recent graduate who is looking to apply their expertise in a bright and promising business. Best of all, you are joining a team of professionals who share your motivation and sincerity to produce incredible work!
