THE SHORT VERSION

Were hiring a Marketing Manager to run the B2B marketing at Trialfacts, a clinical trial recruitment company thats been in business for 19 years.

The benefits:

• AUD $3,500-$4,000 per month (with flexibility for the right candidate, depending on experience and overall fit)
• 100% remote, work from anywhere, no location restrictions

ABOUT TRIALFACTS:

We recruit participants for clinical trials, connecting academic researchers and commercial sponsors with the right people for their studies. Our clients are primarily academic health researchers at universities in the US and Australia, with a growing commercial segment that includes pharma and biotech sponsors.

Weve been doing this for 19 years. 1,097 studies. 476 client organisations. 35,000+ participants enrolled. 35 team members across 7 countries. Our mission is to accelerate cures in 10 major diseases, and the work your marketing supports has a direct line to studies that could become real treatments.

Were currently rebuilding our marketing foundations from the ground up, across both segments, across all channels. The proof, the credibility, and the data already exist (Harvard, Yale, Stanford clients; over a thousand studies; a 0.7% refund rate). Whats missing is a marketing function that properly deploys it. Thats where you come in.

WHAT YOULL DO:

• Build the proof engine. Trialfacts has 1,097 studies, clients at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, and a 0.7% refund rate, but almost none of this proof is deployed in marketing yet. Youll conduct case study interviews with US and Australian academic researchers, manage the outreach pipeline (scoring, scheduling, follow-ups), write the outreach emails that get busy researchers to say yes, and turn raw proof into published case studies and content that drive real business results. We also have deep data on our campaign performance and results that can be built into compelling, data-rich marketing assets for an audience that values numbers and evidence.
• Run the channels. Content marketing, email campaigns, newsletters, social media, lead magnets, and collaboration with the sales team on outbound. Youll manage freelancers and agency partners across content, design, and paid advertising (including Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads), and work closely with the in-house tech and analytics team to build, track, and measure what matters. You own the full picture across both audience segments: tracking performance, interpreting data, and reporting clearly on whats working and what isnt.
• Make it scale. Improve workflows, build documentation, and set up systems so marketing execution doesnt depend on any one person. Use AI tools for content production, design, analysis, and automation. Well give you access to whatever tools make sense.
• Lead the rhythm. Run the weekly marketing meeting, set clear measurables for your freelancers and any future team members, and hold people accountable to deadlines and quality standards.

YOURE A STRONG FIT IF YOU

• Have 3+ years running marketing campaigns across multiple channels (content, email, social, paid)
• Can write, edit, and quality-check content to a high standard. Youre the last set of eyes before something goes live.
• Have managed freelancers or agencies and know how to write a clear brief, set expectations, and review work critically
• Are comfortable with marketing analytics: dashboards, A/B tests, performance reporting, interpreting what the data is telling you
• Use AI tools in your workflow and want to push further
• Have hands-on experience with WordPress/CMS, email platforms (ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, or similar), and design tools (Canva or similar)
• Can schedule occasional interviews with US-based academic researchers (typically 1-2 per week, requiring some US timezone overlap)

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF

• Youre a strong executor who wants to develop strategic skills, not just keep doing what youre already good at
• Youre excited about building a marketing function, not just maintaining one someone else built
• You want to work closely with a CEO and learn how marketing strategy connects to business decisions
• Youre comfortable managing scope, prioritising, and pushing back when something isnt the right priority. This is a lean team and youll need to make smart tradeoffs.
• You care about the quality of your output, not just the volume. Attention to detail matters here.

THIS ROLE IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU IF

• You want full strategic autonomy from day one. Strategy here is built collaboratively with the CEO, especially in the first 6-12 months. Your strategic ownership grows as you demonstrate results.
• Youre a specialist in one channel looking for a specialist role. This requires breadth across content, email, social, analytics, and freelancer management.
• Your primary motivation is maximising salary. The total value here is flexibility + mission + mentorship + career path, not maximum pay.
