• Embed clear briefing, planning and handoff practices across the business
• Help teams understand how to engage the studio-and define what “good” looks like at every stage
• Be an important operational partner to creative leadership, balancing the needs of creative teams with commercial priorities
• Play a central role in shaping the future of our creative capability-including how AI and emerging technologies are integrated into day-to-day studio practice

What do you need to have...

• Experience leading studio or creative operations in an integrated agency or similarly complex environment
• Understanding of how multidisciplinary creative teams operate across different formats and outputs
• Commercial experience, including experience with utilisation, forecasting and resource planning
• Experience designing and implementing new workflows, systems and operating models-not just improving existing ones
• Confidence partnering with senior creative leaders and influencing at leadership level

Just a few of our benefits...

• Competitive salary
• 25 days' annual leave plus public holidays, company closure over Christmas plus a personal day
• 3 days volunteering leave
• Private Medical Insurance
• Life Insurance

Not all heroes wear capes — but plenty of them use toilet paper

Want to challenge yourself at a purpose-led scale up AND make a difference in the world? Come join the revolootion!

Funny name, serious business

We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to provide clean water and help build toilets for the billions of people who lack proper access. So far, we’ve contributed over $18 million AUD (roughly $12.5 million USD) to fund sanitation projects around the globe. Basically, we’re really good at doing good. 

With hubs in Australia, the Philippines, China, the US, UK and Europe, our amazing team of 200+ work to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next couple of years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services.

A bit about the role

We’re looking for a Creative Strategist to join our UK Local team on a 9-month contract. We are looking for an experienced Creative Strategist with the analytical skills to step-change our growth marketing creative performance. We want you to build and deliver a plan that drives both heart-tugging brand impact and a measurable improvement in commercial performance.

Reporting to the Director of Growth Marketing (UK), you’ll be the "voice of the consumer," translating deep insights and channel learnings into clear, actionable creative direction. You’ll bridge the gap between data-driven growth and high-fidelity brand storytelling, acting as the primary creative partner for our media agencies and global teams. 

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

• Built and scaled the UK creative engine: You’d be reviewing our existing strategy and performance, to build a repeatable strategy across Meta, YouTube, and offline formats like print to ensure we’re showing up effectively across the whole funnel.
• Crafted "strategically sharp" briefs: You would have written inspiring briefs that didn't just ask for "an ad," but defined the specific audience tension and the commercial problem we’re trying to solve.
• Led our Meta agency partner: You’d have spent time providing clear strategic feedback and priorities to our external performance agency, pushing them to improve iteration speed and creative quality.
• Masterminded a testing roadmap: You wouldn't just be "guessing"—you’d be defining hypotheses and learning agendas for creative tests, then synthesising those results into your next big campaign.
• Collaborated on Limited Editions: You might have provided the UK "lens" for a global product launch, ensuring our cultural nuances were represented while staying true to the global brand.

Let’s talk about you

You’re a strategic thinker with a bias for action 

You don't wait for a brief to land on your desk to identify a gap. You proactively find creative opportunities to unlock growth, using a mix of qualitative insight and quantitative signals (like hook rates and CTR) to defend your recommendations. You understand that creative behaves differently on Meta than it does in a magazine, and you know how to adapt your strategy accordingly.

You’re a master collaborator and storyteller 

You can translate broad brand platforms into actionable creative territories that scale. You’re comfortable challenging agencies and stakeholders respectfully, using evidence and context to maintain a high bar. Plus, you’ve got a working knowledge of tools like Adobe Premiere or Photoshop, allowing you to make quick tweaks to accelerate testing when the moment strikes.

You have sharp analytical skills to turn data into actionable insights

You are skilled at reviewing different datasets to identify patterns and commercial opportunities. You can interrogate hook rates, scroll-stop data, and conversion signals to drive improvements, and tell a compelling story that shapes what we make next. You're comfortable presenting your findings to stakeholders to drive decision making

One of your first major pieces of work will be a full audit of our current performance creative strategy - assessing what's working, what isn't, and where the biggest opportunities lie to refine or overhaul our approach. You're comfortable going deep into the detail while keeping one eye on the bigger picture, and you know how to translate analysis into a clear point of view that the business can act on.

You are adaptable to change

Our business is growing rapidly, and there is a lot of change in flight. You are someone who is adaptable, can roll with the punches and is comfortable with ambiguity. You know how to cut through the noise to remain focused on what really matters to deliver results — and, crucially, you are skilled at bringing others on the journey with you.

You are self-directed and proactive: you have the ability to create your own structure when one isn't handed to you — setting your own priorities, flagging blockers early, and identifying where you need additional support or input.

You give a crap

Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!

Why should you work with us?

First off, as a certified B Corp™, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the highest standards of social and environmental impact. With our most recent score of 125.5 we’re in very good company with other exceptional B Corps around the world.

We also believe that helping to make the world a better place should be rewarded accordingly – that’s why we offer competitive, market informed salaries, meaningful support towards healthcare for our team around the world, generous paid leave, tailored learning and development opportunities, and free toilet paper (yes, you read that right).

Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (95%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn’t be more proud of that.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to delivering toilets and clean water for all.

We are seeking a forward-thinking, AI-first leader to shape and drive the evolution of Marketing Innovation across the organization. Sitting within the Marketing function, this role is responsible for defining how AI transforms marketing—from how we plan and create, to how we execute, personalize, and scale.

As Global Head of Marketing Innovation, you will lead the transition from traditional marketing operations and tooling toward AI-powered workflows, agent-driven automation, and intelligent decision systems. You will define what capabilities marketing needs to succeed in an AI-native environment and translate those into clear, prioritized roadmaps in close partnership with Product, Engineering, and Data teams.

This role goes beyond managing technology—it is about rethinking how marketing works. You will act as the primary bridge between Marketing and technical teams, ensuring AI solutions are aligned with business goals, scalable across markets, and embedded into day-to-day workflows. You will also lead a small but high-impact team, including an AI Enablement specialist responsible for driving adoption across the organization.

The role reports directly to the Senior Director of Growth Marketing & Innovation.

What you’ll be doing

AI Strategy & Marketing Transformation

• Define and lead the long-term vision for AI-powered marketing, including automation, personalization, and intelligent workflows.
• Identify high-impact opportunities where AI can replace manual work, improve decision-making, and unlock scale.
• Drive the transition from tool-based execution to AI-enabled operating models across marketing functions.

AI Product Thinking & Roadmap Ownership

• Translate marketing needs into AI-driven solutions, including agents, automation systems, and intelligent workflows.
• Own and prioritize the Marketing Innovation roadmap, balancing business impact, feasibility, and scalability.
• Act as the primary DRI within Marketing for AI-related initiatives, managing trade-offs and sequencing.

Agentic AI & Workflow Automation

• Lead the design and deployment of AI agents to automate workflows across creative production, performance marketing, CRM, and localization.
• Ensure solutions are embedded into real workflows—not standalone tools.
• Continuously identify and scale automation opportunities across the organization.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Analytics teams to build and deploy AI solutions.
• Ensure alignment between marketing needs, technical capabilities, and long-term system architecture.
• Influence without direct authority, driving execution through strong cross-functional collaboration.

AI Adoption & Enablement

• Own the global adoption of AI solutions across Marketing.
• Lead and mentor an AI Enablement specialist focused on training, documentation, and day-to-day usage.
• Establish clear processes, playbooks, and best practices to ensure teams effectively leverage AI capabilities.
• Drive cultural change toward AI-first ways of working.

Governance, Quality & Compliance

• Ensure AI solutions meet standards for quality, consistency, and brand alignment.
• Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Engineering teams to ensure compliance with data governance and regulatory requirements.
• Define guardrails, escalation paths, and approval processes for AI-driven workflows.

Vendor & Ecosystem Strategy

• Evaluate and manage external AI tools, platforms, and partners.
• Ensure the ecosystem supports long-term flexibility and avoids unnecessary complexity.
• Maximize value from vendors through structured evaluation and performance management.

Our humble expectations

• 8+ years of experience in product, AI/automation, marketing innovation, or related roles in high-scale digital environments.
• Strong product mindset, with experience translating business needs into scalable technical or AI-driven solutions.
• Solid understanding of marketing platforms and ecosystems (e.g., marketing automation, CRM, mobile attribution, ad tech), with the ability to evaluate trade-offs without needing to be hands-on in system configuration or engineering
• Hands-on understanding of AI capabilities (e.g., LLMs, agents, automation tools) and how they apply to marketing workflows.
• Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data, and Analytics teams.
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguous environments and build structure where none exists.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders.
• Experience building or leading small, high-impact teams.
• Passion for AI innovation and its application to real-world operational challenges.

Nice to have:

• Experience with marketing platforms (CRM, automation, ad tech)
• Familiarity with prompt design, workflow orchestration, or AI tooling ecosystems
• Understanding of Marketing Automation and AdTech systems (e.g., Iterable, Braze, Salesforce, Appsflyer, Adjust) 
• Basic data fluency (e.g., SQL or analytics tools)

What we offer

This is a rare opportunity to get under the hood of a massive growth engine and actually build the tools that make it run. You won’t just be managing existing software; you’ll be the strategic architect responsible for moving us away from manual, "copy-paste" work toward a smart, automated system powered by AI and real-time data.

You will have the mandate to bridge the gap between Marketing, Product, and Engineering, making sure our tech stack is a competitive advantage rather than a bottleneck. Whether it’s building a marketing engine to win back millions of users or launching ML-powered personalization that hits the right customer at the perfect moment, you will be the one making it technically possible.

If you want a high-ownership role where you can solve real structural problems and lead a team of technical experts in a fast-paced, global environment, this is it.

Next steps

Our hiring process prioritizes quality over speed to ensure we find the right long-term fit for this critical role. Candidates move through the process one step at a time, typically starting with an initial screen and a hiring manager interview, followed by a peer interview and a take-home case study presentation, concluding with a final value-fit conversation.

About the role

The marketing landscape is fundamentally shifting — and Duetto's marketing team is meeting that change head-on. We're building a function that leads from the front: AI-first, fast-moving, and designed to deliver results that outpace our size. This isn't about keeping up. It's about being at the tip of the spear as the demands on modern marketing continue to evolve.

As Senior Director, Global Marketing, you will be crucial to making that happen. You will be accountable for the strategy and impact of field marketing, events, and partner marketing — three functions that collectively carry real pipeline and revenue targets.Reporting to the CMO, you will sit on the marketing leadership team alongside the VP of Growth Marketing, Product Marketing Director and GTM Engineering Leads, contributing actively to strategy, prioritisation, and cross-functional alignment. You will lead a highly talented, distributed marketing team and work as a peer to sales, customer success, and product leaders — as well as engaging directly with the executive team on priorities and business-critical deliverables. This role is for a leader who is as comfortable in a commercial conversation as a creative one, who knows how to build high-performing teams across disciplines and geographies, and who brings genuine AI-first thinking to how they operate and scale a marketing function.

What you’ll be responsible for

Commercial ownership

• Own pipeline and ARR contribution targets across your functions — field marketing, events, and partner marketing all carry quotas and commercial accountability
• Hold clear attribution and reporting standards across your team’s activity, connecting investment directly to revenue outcomes
• Bring a PE-standard commercial mindset to how you plan, prioritise, and measure everything your team does

Regional and field marketing

• Lead regional marketing across Americas, EMEA, and APAC, ensuring local execution is tightly aligned to sales targets and pipeline priorities in each market
• Partner closely with regional sales leaders to coordinate demand generation activity, field events, and market-specific campaigns
• Drive accountability for regional pipeline contribution and progression metrics across all three geographies

Events

• Partner with Duetto's established Events team to provide strategic leadership and commercial direction across the global events programme — trade shows, industry conferences, and owned experiences
• Ensure events activity is tightly integrated into broader campaign and pipeline strategy, with clear commercial objectives attached to every moment we show up in market
• Act as the senior sponsor and escalation point for the events function, supporting prioritisation, resourcing decisions, and cross-functional alignment where needed

Partner marketing

Support our partner marketing lead to: 

• Build and scale a partner marketing programme that generates co-sell pipeline, extends Duetto’s market reach, and deepens relationships across the partner ecosystem
• Develop joint go-to-market plans, co-branded programmes, and partner enablement in close collaboration with the partnerships team
• Own partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline as a measurable outcome

Team and cross-functional leadership

• Build and develop a high-performing team across multiple disciplines and time zones, creating clarity, accountability, and a culture of excellence
• Operate as a genuine cross-functional peer — working fluidly with sales, customer success, product, and finance leadership as well as engaging directly with the executive team
• Champion AI-first ways of working across your team, identifying and embedding tools and workflows that drive outsized output relative to team size

What we’re looking for

Character

Skills get you to the interview. Character gets you the role.

We're an ambitious, globally distributed team operating in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. We work hard, we move fast, and we hold ourselves to a high standard — but we do it together. The people who thrive here aren't just technically excellent. They're the ones who show up with energy, who make the people around them better, and who feel genuinely invested in what we're building.

For this role specifically, we care as much about who you are as what you've done. That means:

• You're a natural communicator. You can hold a room, write with clarity, and adapt your style depending on whether you're presenting to the board or debriefing your team after an event. You don't hide behind jargon and you say what you mean.
• You're a collaborator, not a silo-builder. You understand that the best outcomes come from working across teams, not protecting your patch. You build trust quickly, you're generous with credit, and you make it easy for others to do their best work alongside you.
• You know what this environment demands. You've worked in a VC or PE-backed business and you understand what that means — the pace, the scrutiny, the expectation that every dollar of investment has to work hard. You don't need that explained to you.
• You're one of us from day one. Our team is diverse, talented, and genuinely close-knit. We want someone who walks in ready to be part of that — not someone who takes six months to warm up. If you need a long runway before you feel comfortable, this probably isn't the right environment.

We know this kind of thing is easy to say and harder to find. But when we find it, we'll know — and so will you.

Experience

• 10+ years in B2B marketing with significant senior leadership experience spanning multiple disciplines
• Strong track record of owning commercial targets — pipeline, ARR, and revenue contribution — not just marketing activity metrics
• Experience operating in a VC or private equity-backed environment, ideally having navigated a growth journey in the $50M–$200M ARR range
• Proven ability to lead distributed, multi-disciplinary teams across geographies and time zones
• Background in SaaS, hospitality tech, or a similarly complex B2B environment preferred

Bias to action 

Despite the seniority of this role, we are looking for someone who leads through doing. Strategic thinking matters, but so does the willingness to roll up your sleeves, get into the detail, and support your team in the work. We expect this person to traverse altitudes comfortably — moving between high-level executive conversations and hands-on tactical work without losing effectiveness at either end. A bias to action over ideation, and a track record of making things happen, are as important to us as strategic vision.

AI-first mindset

• You think about AI not as a tool to experiment with but as a structural part of how a modern marketing team should operate
• You have experience embedding AI-enabled workflows into team processes to drive speed, quality, and scale
• You actively seek out ways to achieve outsized results without proportional headcount growth

What success looks like in year one

• Pipeline and ARR targets across regional team, partner, and events marketing are met or exceeded
• Regional marketing is tightly coordinated with sales across all three geographies, with clear attribution and accountability
• Partner marketing programme is generating measurable co-sell pipeline and deepening ecosystem relationships
• Your team is well-led, well-managed, and operating with clear priorities, strong rhythm, and high output
• You are an active, valued voice on the marketing leadership team and a trusted peer to your counterparts across the business

About Duetto

Duetto is the Revenue and Profit Operating System for the global hospitality industry — a PE-backed SaaS business with customers across hotels, casinos, and hospitality groups worldwide. We’re on an ambitious growth trajectory and building a marketing function to match: world-class, commercially driven, and genuinely category-defining.

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.
