The Social Collective is looking for an experienced and strategic Digital Marketing Strategist to join our team in a part-time, hybrid role based in Auckland.

This role is ideal for someone who understands how social media, paid advertising, and email marketing work together and knows how to lead a strategy that connects it all. You won’t be running campaigns or posting content yourself, but you will be guiding the overall direction, supporting the client relationship, and working closely with our internal team to ensure everything is delivered with intention and impact.

We’re a small, collaborative team working with purpose-led brands, and we’re looking for someone who can bring clarity, confidence, and energy to our client work.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and lead digital marketing strategies across social, paid, and email channels for a small portfolio of clients

• Guide the execution of campaigns in collaboration with our social media managers, email marketers, and ads specialists

• Act as the main point of contact for assigned clients, leading regular check-ins and providing strategic direction

• Deliver monthly reports and performance updates, with clear insights and recommendations

• Support internal team coordination, ensuring briefs are clear, timelines are met, and campaigns align with client goals

• Stay across marketing trends and platform changes, contributing ideas to strengthen client strategy and results

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3-4 years of experience in digital marketing, including strategy development and working across social media, paid media, and email

• Strong understanding of how to align messaging and performance across platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.)

• Confident communicator, experienced in leading client conversations and guiding cross-functional teams

• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple clients and projects

• Based in Auckland and comfortable with a hybrid work setup (remote, with occasional in-person collaboration)

Bonus if ...

• Experience in a boutique agency or startup environment

• Familiarity with reporting tools and marketing analytics

• Comfortable providing creative direction across digital content (ads, social, email)
