Description

Freelancer Limited, the company behind Freelancer.com and Escrow.com, is hiring! If you aren’t familiar with our sites, Freelancer.com is the world's largest freelancing marketplace, which connects millions of employers to freelancers across the globe, and is even used by. And Escrow.com is a fintech industry leader in secure online payments, having handled over US$7 Billion in secured transactions, while processing some of the largest domain name transfers - including Gmail.com, Uber.com and Twitter.com.

We have an awesome opportunity for a Communications Manager to help promote Freelancer while working very closely with our CEO.

If you think about the nature of our business, we have so many stories that have media potential. From the global freelance movement and the future of work itself, to individual accounts of the freelancers and entrepreneurs whose lives have been changed through our site. And that doesn’t even consider the tech/startup sector itself, the growth of Escrow.com, and our ownership of Loadshift facilitating the fast, reliable and cost efficient transport of freight.

You’ll work closely with senior management to define communications strategies, and will have ownership over how the plans are executed. If you are looking to accelerate your career in a diverse role with global reach, then we would love to hear from you.

Requirements:

  • Ability to research media stories, develop press releases, draft press materials and liaise with journalists to ultimately create media attention and promote the company
  • Has an established network in the Australian or US (preferred) media
  • People person, with excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Reads the news - is up to date on current trends and happenings
  • Not afraid to get in front of the camera, or speak at events, if a story requires it

And we would love it if you had:

  • A passion for technology
  • 5+ years agency or in house experience

What we offer in return:

  • A meritocratic culture with the ability to take ownership and fast track your career growth. We promote from within!
  • The opportunity to work on an Alexa top-ranked website, solving complex, internet scale and global challenges in systems engineering with over 79 million customers across 247 countries, regions & territories.
  • Weekly Town Halls with the all-important CEO Q&A session (you really can ask him anything, and people do)!
  • Catered Friday lunches - We finish each week with a catered lunch. Every week comes from a different local restaurant.
  • Fully stocked kitchens - yes, we do have beer taps (and the bar has a killer view!)
  • Hack-a-thons - Each quarter, teams compete company-wide hacking out solutions to their own selection of customer problems and win prizes. The 2-day event is filled with games, events, shows, food and more.
  • Fun events. Once, we built a soccer stadium in the office with two tonnes of turf…
  • Our office at Grosvenor Place - Home of Freelancer (and Escrow) HQ, this iconic building has harbour views and offers weekly (complimentary!) classes/activities/events

But wait, there's more:

  • Change lives every day – Everything we do as part of our jobs contribute to improving the lives of our users on a global scale. Our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world.
  • Fast-track your career - We boast a meritocratic culture, renowned for hiring into senior roles from within and producing many business and product leaders in the technology industry.
