Are you the kind of person who gets excited about colour-coded content calendars, big campaign ideas, and making sure every piece of content tells the same beautiful brand story? Then you might be our next Content Lead.

Octane Marking is seeking a Content Lead who loves bringing order to creativity — someone who thrives in a fast-paced agency environment, collaborates like a pro, and can turn chaos into clear, strategic content magic. If you can spot a messy brief from a mile away, have opinions about brand consistency, and enjoy working with a tight-knit creative team, we want to meet you

Responsibilities

  • Own monthly and quarterly content calendars and make sure all channels (social, paid media, mailers, screens, blogs and more) play together beautifully
  • Lead energised weekly planning sessions and keep campaigns, deadlines and seasonal moments running smoothly
  • Conceptualise and plan meaningful campaigns with the Marketing Manager, translating big ideas into structured, actionable content roll-outs
  • Create clear, clever and complete creative briefs — then load them onto Jira with the precision of someone who loves organization
  • Review and quality-check content and designs to ensure everything looks sharp, feels on-brand and hits the mark
  • Collaborate with copywriters, strategists and designers to ensure messaging, visuals and insights all align seamlessly
  • Oversee content flow across touchpoints so nothing feels random — everything connects as part of a strong, cohesive ecosystem
  • Track performance across platforms, spotting opportunities and turning insights into better content every month

  • Keep internal teams aligned and informed so the entire creative machine runs smoothly

  • 3–5 years' experience in content creation, planning or social media (bonus points for agency experience)

  • A solid understanding of digital marketing paid media formats and platform best practices
  • Excellent organisation, communication and briefing skills — you love clarity and structure
  • Strong creative judgement, attention to detail and the confidence to guide creative teams
  • Ability to juggle multiple brands, projects and deadlines without losing your cool
  • Collaborative, team-oriented energy with a problem-solving, "let's make it happen" attitude
  • Bonus tools in your toolkit: Jira, Canva or Adobe Suite
