Marketing Jobs in Australia: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You want marketing work in Australia and you need to know who is actually hiring, not who claims to be. Here is the real picture, taken from listings open right now.

What the feed shows right now#

On 14 October 2026, there are 26 open marketing jobs in Australia on JobRise. Of those, 24 were posted in the last 30 days and 11 landed in the last 7 days. Fresh stock. Good for you.

These counts come from JobRise's live jobs feed, so treat them as a snapshot of open listings on one site rather than a survey of the whole market. Numbers move daily, roles close or get re-posted, and something you saved on Monday can vanish by Friday.

For scale, the JobRise Hiring Report: Australia shows 462 open listings across all categories in the country, with 346 posted in the last 30 days. Marketing is a thin slice of that total.

Who is hiring#

Red Bull has the most marketing listings in this slice, with 6 open. Most are Student Marketeer roles: Townsville, Brisbane North, and Gold Coast among them. Campus-facing brand work. Part-time by design.

Onside follows with 4 open listings, and First Focus has 2. Both names on the listings may be recruiters or staffing firms, so read the fine print about who pays you and who you actually report to.

Beyond those, everyone else has one listing each. ClickView is hiring a Product Marketing Manager. LEAP Legal Software wants a Marketing Manager. Corto Pty Ltd has a Product Manager - Growth role open.

Amer Sports is recruiting a Digital Marketing Co-ordinator. White Fox Boutique has posted for a Baddest Bod PR & Influencer Specialist. Mixpanel and Eightcap each have one marketing listing open too. That's the long tail.

Where the jobs are#

Sydney leads with 9 listings, then Melbourne with 6. Brisbane has 3, the Gold Coast has 2, and Townsville has 1. Two cities carry most of the weight.

If you are in a smaller market, that single Townsville listing is a Red Bull Student Marketeer role. Regional marketing work exists but it is thin, and most of it is field or campus work rather than head office. Apply anyway.

What the job-type mix tells you#

Full-time roles make up 21 of the 26 listings, and part-time accounts for the remaining 5. That split says employers want permanent headcount rather than casual project help, so pitch yourself as someone who joins and stays.

The mix across employers is the more interesting signal. Big tech appears through Mixpanel, while startups and software scale-ups show up in ClickView, LEAP Legal Software, Corto Pty Ltd, and Eightcap. Consumer brands and agencies sit in Red Bull, Amer Sports, and White Fox Boutique. Onside and First Focus add the recruiter layer on top.

One number should temper your expectations: 0 of the 26 listings carry entry-level looking titles such as intern, graduate, junior, or trainee. The floor for "marketing job" here is roughly co-ordinator level, so if you are early career, Red Bull's Student Marketeer roles are the clearest on-ramp into the field.

Also worth knowing: no listing in this slice shows a salary. Budget your search assuming you will need to ask about pay at first contact.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct where you can. If a listing names the employer, go to that employer's careers page and apply there too, because recruiters move at their own pace and a direct application puts you straight into the company's system.

Mirror the listing's keywords in your resume. If the ad says "Digital Marketing Co-ordinator", use that exact phrase in your summary or most recent role bullet. Recruiters search their own databases for the words they wrote.

Run your resume through a free ATS resume checker before you send anything. A clean parse catches the formatting problems that quietly drop you out of a shortlist.

Shortlist the roles that match your actual location. Nine of these 26 are in Sydney, so a Melbourne-only search is working with a smaller pool.

Keep a simple tracker: company, role title, date applied, contact name, next follow-up date. Five columns is enough.

• List every open role you match within 30 minutes of travel or full remote, and note the closing date if one is given.
• Rewrite your resume summary to repeat the exact job title from the ad.
• Check each company's own careers page and apply direct where possible.
• Send a short note to any recruiter contact at Onside or First Focus naming the roles you want.
• Prepare one story each for campaign delivery, stakeholder pushback, and a result you can measure.
• Follow up five working days after applying, once, politely.
• Log every application and set a follow-up date the same day you send it.

A 7-step plan for the next two weeks#

Step 1: Pick your lane. Choose between product marketing, brand and PR, growth, or field marketing. The listings above span all four, and a focused resume beats a general one every time.

Step 2: Build a target list from the snapshot. Red Bull, Onside, First Focus, ClickView, LEAP Legal Software, Corto Pty Ltd, Amer Sports, White Fox Boutique, Mixpanel, and Eightcap all have live marketing listings on 14 October 2026. Start with the ones matching your city.

Step 3: Rewrite your resume around the top three roles you want. Here is a worked example. Weak bullet: "Responsible for social media and marketing activities." Rewritten: "Ran paid social and influencer campaigns for a consumer brand, lifting tracked referral traffic 40% quarter on quarter." Same job, far better signal.

Step 4: Write one cover note template with two swap-in paragraphs. Paragraph one names the company and role, and paragraph two gives your best relevant result. Keep it under 200 words.

Step 5: Apply to five roles this week. Quality over volume. Five tailored applications outperform twenty generic ones.

Step 6: Work the recruiter layer, because Onside and First Focus carry six listings between them in this slice and one good intro can reach several of them at once. Send a short note naming your target titles and city, then check in weekly.

Step 7: Recheck the feed every Monday and Thursday. With 11 listings posted in the last 7 days, the market turns over fast, and roles you missed on Monday may be live again by Thursday.

What to say when they ask about pay#

No listing in this slice shows a salary, so you will need to raise it yourself. Try this script: "I am keen on the role and I would love to understand the range you have budgeted, so we do not waste each other's time."

Reported marketing salaries in Australia vary widely by city and seniority, so verify current figures on official sources such as Fair Work or the employer's own posting before you quote a number.

FAQ#

Are these the only marketing jobs open in Australia?

No. The 26 listings counted here are what JobRise's live feed showed in this slice on 14 October 2026. Other job boards and employer careers pages carry roles that are not in this count.

Which company has the most marketing openings?

Red Bull, with 6 open listings on 14 October 2026, mostly Student Marketeer positions. Onside is next with 4, then First Focus with 2.

I am early career. Which roles should I target?

Zero of the 26 listings carry intern, graduate, junior, or trainee titles. Red Bull's Student Marketeer roles in Townsville, Brisbane North, and Gold Coast are the closest fit, plus co-ordinator level roles such as the Amer Sports position.

Should I apply through a recruiter or direct?

Do both. Recruiters such as those behind the Onside and First Focus listings can put you forward for multiple roles, while a direct application to the employer's careers page puts you in their system.

Why is no salary shown?

None of the 26 listings in this slice displays a salary figure. Ask for the budgeted range early in the process, and check current official sources for typical pay in your city and seniority level.
