About the job

Want to challenge the way Australians consume home essentials and make a positive impact in the world? 

Why join the Skipper team?

In short, we’re a fast-growing business making a serious splash, and boldly zig when others zag.

At Skipper, our mission is to make zero-waste easy and accessible to all; and to turn everyday habits into a force for good. How? Through innovative products that eliminate plastic waste and reduce emissions from everyday items we consume at home. Our suite of “just-add-water” products are adored by hundreds of thousands of proud, progressive Aussies all around the country, and over the next few years, beyond the seas too.

Since launching our first product, a zero-waste hand soap in Jan 2021, we achieved multi-million dollar revenues and profitability within 18 months. We’ve since hit 8-figure revenues, raised capital from a world-class venture fund, and collected over 100 tonnes of plastic waste. Today, we are actively preventing thousands of plastic bottles from being purchased every single day.

In 2024, we did the unthinkable. We changed everything. We rebranded our business from Tirtyl to Skipper, and changed the look and feel of all of our products. Now equipped with stronger brand foundations and better-than-ever products, we’re looking to unlock the next stage of audacious growth. To achieve our goals, we need the most ambitious talent…

That’s where you come in

You’ll be at the heart of content at Skipper. 🙋🙌 Shaping what we say, how we show up and how we connect with our audience.

This is a high-impact, creatively led role for someone who sees content as more than just output, and more like a creative playground. You’ll help grow Skipper’s presence across Meta, TikTok, YouTube and wherever else makes sense. All content areas are in play and we want to shape the role to you, not the other way round!

If you’re after a team that values sharp thinking, original ideas and experimenting before things are perfect, you’ll feel right at home. We move quickly, back each other and care about the people behind the pixels. You’ll report to our Marketing Manager and collaborate closely with our Marketing Associates. There’s structure when you need it and space when you don’t.

• Meta: From good to 🔥🔥🔥 Break the stereotypes of our category and lead with creative thinking, clear storytelling and a consistent presence that actually feels human.
• TikTok: From neglected to 👏👏👏 Culture-savvy, clever and confidently lo-fi- content that earns attention and builds trust, not just scrolls.
• LinkedIn & YouTube: Untapped to thriving 🎢🎢🎢 From brand-building to behind-the-scenes, help us show up with depth and creativity.
• Other channels: Got an idea? If it builds from your own passion and authenticity, and feels right for the brand, we’re all ears. Let’s try it.
