About the Company

This client is an established residential design and construction company based in Auckland, New Zealand, with 28 years of experience specializing in architectural renovations, restorations, and extensions for heritage villas and character bungalows. Co-founded by a Licensed Master Builder and an honours-qualified Interior Architect, the company uniquely balances design integrity with practical buildability. They offer full end-to-end project management—spanning from initial concept designs and internal quantity surveying to council compliance—utilizing a permanent, in-house building team to ensure high-quality craftsmanship.

Role Overview

As a Marketing & Digital Automation Specialist, you will build, manage, and continuously optimize our end-to-end digital marketing infrastructure. This is a strategic role focused on building scalable, repeatable systems that generate qualified leads for custom renovations and new home builds, rather than a standard social media posting position. Working closely with the Company Director, you will become a key long-term member of the business, taking full ownership of automation funnels, digital advertising, and premium content delivery.
