I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Just before we put this opportunity on Seek etc, we have a fantastic opportunity at Xero for an execution focussed, mid level marketing person. Our working title for the role is Marketing Program Manager (happy for guidance on what this type of role would be called). This is a person that actually makes the marketing programs happen so would suit a very organized doer with a solid practical marketing experience.
Here is the Job Spec so far …
The Marketing Program Manager is a key operational position focused on executing Xero’s diverse and innovative marketing programs. This is a challenging and exciting role that includes:
- Liaising and building marketing relationships with key partners, and executing on joint marketing programs
- Developing advertising opportunities, which can involve placing adverts in national, regional and specialist publications and media
- Managing the production of marketing materials and coordinating in-house design resources
- Arranging for the effective distribution of marketing materials
- Maintaining and updating email and mailing databases
- Organizing and attending participation at events and exhibitions
- Carrying out market research and customer surveys to assess demand, brand positioning and awareness
- Contributing to long-term marketing plans and strategies
- Search Engine Marketing
- Reporting on marketing effectiveness
If this sounds like you, or you know of someone who we should talk to, please make contact at careers [at] xero.com. And of course we are always looking for developers. Front end dhtml wizards and back end dev guru’s for our lolly swilling dev team in the Old Bank Wellington.
We must have a relaxing environment as this item of Xero Art constructed from old business cards appeared on the wall today.
We believe Adam has a master plan to create his own Island somewhere north of Great Barrier.

How about a Junior marketing role for a fresh grad?
So - who typed the Job Description? It can’t have been Rod because it is error free.
My pick is that Rod came in at the end with the errant apostrophe in “guru’s”!
Rod, can I pitch an idea to the successful applicant? :-)
Xero can help partners promote Xero brand through various web-to-print templates with Xero branding, like this one http://zetaprints.com/Newspaper-designs-exclusively-for-ClimaxStudio/Xero-accounting.htm.
They can enter their texts, upload images and download files (PDF, GIF, JPEG, PNG) for printing, to send to the local paper, use as a banner on a website or for any other purpose. Makes advertising easier and cheaper.
Very cheeky Max, I like your style.
Rod - assume they would report to Kate - pretty good incentive I would have thought.
