social media
MANAGER

Due to strong demand we are always looking for experienced, passionate Social Media Managers, seeking a part-time role that fits with their lifestyle.

THE
role

Our model is very simple. We provide organisations with an in-house outsourced Social Media Manager. Working inside their business (predominately) we develop then implement their social media strategy. We don’t do EDMs, websites, paid ads or SEO – just awesome organic social media.

As one of Australia’s largest, dedicated organic social media agencies, we are continually investing in and driving new business opportunities. Hence, we are able to provide you with as many additional clients as you need. Our clients are typically engaged on a 24 hours per month basis with a dedicated time spent in-house one day a week.
You need to be a self starter, confident and comfortable guiding your clients on their social media journey.

ABOUT
you

You’ve invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears into building your own social media business; however, you miss what working with a larger team has to offer.
So why not have both!

All of our Social Media Managers do just that! Continue to operate their business but work with anywhere between 1-4 clients through The Social Room. Our clients benefit from having highly experienced social media professionals working in their business, and we provide you with all the benefits of being part of a bigger team without you having to give up your own business.

OUR
clients

Are a very diverse group. Predominantly B2B, they are all established, medium sized business looking to grow. This is quite often their first appointment of someone to a dedicated marketing role, hence are excited and supportive of having a TMR Social Media Manager join their team. We ensure the Social Media Manager’s personality, experience and skill set are a great fit for the client. We want your time working with our clients to be rewarding and enjoyable.

Through our national affiliations, we have access to dedicated weekly and monthly training/learning sessions with the dominant social platforms including Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and LinkedIn . There are broader digital marketing learning opportunities made available to the entire team. Plus, we run dedicated sessions as a team during which we share and discuss ideas and trends in social media.

The team is led by a highly experienced Pod Leader. They are involved in every new client kick-off workshop, pop in once a month to check-in and help with your client/s and is also available as a sounding board for any ideas you’d like to bounce around. They are a wealth of knowledge and always avaible to support the brilliant work you do.
One of the best bits about being part of a team is the social aspect. We appreciate everyone has busy lives hence why we don’t place unrealistic expectations on everyone. We catch up as a team once a month with a fortnightly catch-up optional for anyone who’s keen! In addition, we have a killer Xmas party that is always a must attend.

you

As you will be working inside the client’s business one day a week, you’ll need to be a self-starter who can work autonomously. In most cases your clients won’t have a high level of marketing knowledge/experience so will be looking to you for leadership and guidance. You’ll have excellent communication skills being able to explain and demonstrate how marketing can deliver wins for their business. You’ll be able to draw on your 8 plus years of marketing experience to develop strategies that will work for them.

Our Marketing Managers love that they can still stay active in the industry they love but for the hours that fit their lifestyle. Each client requires essentially a day a week of your time, so you can choose to work with 1 to 5 clients, depending on how many days you want to work. You’ll always have the support of our leadership team plus we meet as a group on at least a monthly basis for education and inspo sessions. We are also happy to invest in additional professional development opportunities. Like you, our clients are engaged on 6 or 12 month contracts, however bespoke arrangements can be made if agreed on by all parties.

what
they say

The Marketing Room has given me the opportunity to remain ‘plugged in’ to the marketing world whilst raising a young family. I love the support from the team of great marketing minds who I can tap into, but I also enjoy the autonomously the role brings. Gone is the 8am- 5pm workday… I can now fit in the busy schedule between school pick-up’s, carnivals, and canteen duties!
SHARON
MARKETING MANAGER
The best part about working at TMR is the ability to maintain a senior marketing role, whilst only working 1-2 days per week. As a new mum re-entering the workforce, this flexibility is invaluable. It is also fantastic to have such a friendly, helpful, and collaborative team of other Marketing Managers to lean on for ideas or assistance.
Larissa
MARKETING MANAGER
Many businesses preach about their commitment to flexible working and understanding the needs and desires of parents. At the Marketing Room these are the cornerstone of its model. As a mother of three school age children, the support and ease at which I have been able to join the team and in turn deliver to clients is incredible. Knowing that flexibility and understanding is paramount has meant I have been able to be fully invested without extraneous issues impacting. Added to that is the amazing support from Terri, the General Manager, leading to as stress-free a working environment as one could hope for.
Tracy
MARKETING MANAGER
Even before having children, I knew my career in ad agencies wasn’t sustainable. But, I also couldn’t see myself working in-house solely on one brand. Being at The Marketing Room means I get the benefits of a varied client portfolio while also being able to balance my new job as Mum. The experience of our team is as varied as our clients and I lean on them for their expertise all the time. Great people, great clients, great work, I love it!
Kelly-Anne
MARKETING MANAGER
Working for the TMR has been a blessing alongside running my own small business. I get the benefit of a ‘freelance’ style of work but the backing of an agency and amazing team for professional advice, learning opportunities, and social interaction. After almost 4 years of running my own business, it’s been a massive benefit to relax a bit on marketing and be more selective with who I work with, knowing that I have my TMR clients and the recurring income they provide. I truly feel that I’ve found the perfect balance!
Chelsea
Social Media Manager
Being able to work at TMR while still running my own business has been amazing. The best part is that you get all the aspects of working as an employee – the training, the support of a team, and having a reason to get out and work somewhere different each day – but you also get all the flexibility and freedom that comes with working for yourself! It’s an awesome team, great clients, and an amazing place to work!
Alyssa
Social Media Manager

Working for The Marketing Room has allowed me to run my own business, while also working for my clients provided from The Marketing Room. I love not being stuck at home all the time and interacting with people while still doing something I love. I feel completely supported in and out of TMR, it can be hard running your own business but having the support from TMR is so helpful in knowing that you’re never alone, if you have a question or just need that additional support.

 

Kayla
Social Media Manager
One of the things I love the most about working at TMR is the company’s flexibility, where I can strike the perfect work-life balance. The team is incredibly supportive, and from day one, I felt welcomed and encouraged. It’s a collaborative and nurturing environment that allows me to grow personally and professionally. The opportunity to work on exciting projects and continue working in the industry I love whilst raising a young family brings me immense satisfaction and fulfilment.
Emily
Social Media Manager
The Marketing Room’s culture is truly one of its greatest strengths. The atmosphere is dynamic and energetic, filled with individuals who are passionate about marketing and driven to deliver outstanding results. This shared enthusiasm creates a sense of camaraderie that makes working each day a pleasure. The management recognises the importance of maintaining a healthy equilibrium between work and personal life, and they encourage us to prioritise self-care and well-being. This fosters a sense of trust and loyalty that makes me proud to be a part of this organisation.
Kelsey
MARKETING MANAGER
Ever since I entered The Marketing Room, I have felt supported and guided. From the kick-off meetings to strategy presentations, Emily is consistently available to address any of my inquiries. Crafting strategies tailored to diverse client needs has been a rewarding challenge. Working across industries has been enriching, pushing me beyond my comfort zone and fostering continuous growth. I am grateful for being a part of The Marketing Room, which provides a space for dynamic learning and innovation.
Isabel
Social Media Manager
Working for The Marketing Room enabled me to get back into the workforce when returning from maternity leave, providing flexibility around family life, and allowing me to jump straight back into the world of marketing. I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing clients, and exciting projects, and the wider team at TMR, providing key support when I’ve needed it. It’s a great place to work.
Hannah
MARKETING MANAGER
The flexibility and independence I have experienced in working with TMR allows me to be able to work for myself, while also being supported by a collaborative and professional working environment. I have a better life-work balance, working with a variety of clients and different projects, while also having time for family, study and my own wellbeing.
Alison
MARKETING MANAGER
As a first-time mum returning to the workforce, the transition could have been overwhelming, but thanks to TMR’s support and understanding, it has been a breeze. The flexible business model is a game-changer, allowing me to work as a senior marketing manager 2-3 days a week, while also staying updated with the ever-evolving marketing industry.
Jill
MARKETING MANAGER

Working for The Marketing Room is a dream come true. Being able to hold a senior marketing position and make a positive contribution to my clients, all while only working part time and on my own terms is just fantastic. While most other employees tolerate working parents, The Marketing Room absolutely embraces us, values our experience and seeks to support and develop their team in every way possible. I truly believe the TMR model is a win-win for both the team and the clients!

 

Bronwyn
MARKETING MANAGER
Working at TMR has proven to be an exceptional experience thus far. The position affords the opportunity to customise workdays, hours, and client load, offering considerable flexibility to pursue additional projects. Moreover, the team’s unwavering support and encouragement in celebrating triumphs, regardless of scale, sets them apart to other positions in an unparalleled manner.
Georgia
Social Media Manager
As a marketing professional with over 20 years experience and wanting to balance my work with personal life, I have been able to achieve that with TMR without sacrificing my seniority and career. I enjoy working with different clients and still have time for my teenagers and volunteer work. For me it’s a perfect balance.
