What you'll need to be successful | O Pukenga
You will be a true marketing generalist who will thrive in an environment where you can have the autonomy to lead the marketing activity, yet also roll-up your sleeves and deliver on the day-to-day "doing" required. This means you will be highly motivated, possess fantastic communication skills, be quick in establishing effective relationships with senior stakeholders as well as being sought out by colleagues far and wide as being a 'go-to' team member with the ability to influence without authority.
Along with this you will:
Have strong knowledge of marketing principles and tactics including market research, consumer behaviour, segmentation, targeting, advertising and promotional strategies.
Be adaptable to changes in the market, industry, or government policy and be able to pivot the brand strategy accordingly.
Have the ability to facilitate material from subject matter experts and convert these into quality stories. You will also be capable analysing data, stats and trends to pull out key messages and stories and understand content engagement and user behaviour both internally and externally.
Have an edge in developing and implementing systems and processes – ability to map steps, understand implications for the business and keeping our clients front of mind.
