Job Title: Marketing and Project Officer

Team: Operations

Year joined Kinexus: 2016

 

What do you actually do?

I do my best to make the lives of the broader Kinexus team as easy as possible. Whether that’s helping to write job adverts, posting on social media, reviewing contracts, researching and implementing a new technology product, all the way to getting on more government panels. Think problem-solver cum copywriter cum storyteller.

 

What business functions do you work across?

A mix of marketing and operational support. If I’m busy in marketing then I’ll be analysing statistics, writing email or long-form content and keeping up with what’s going on in the industry.

If it’s Operations then I’ll be leading tender responses, writing or improving standard operating procedures and reviewing contracts.

 

What does your team rely on you for?

My team can rely on me to spot the tiny mistakes no one else will see, and to get things done when I say I will.

 

How did you get here?

A long and winding road. History graduate, then a travel sales background that transitioned easily into recruitment. I’m a natural organiser so a transition into an operational role was probably inevitable.

Because I’ve been a recruiter at Kinexus, I really understand what our consultants do each day. It’s not an easy job. That definitely drives me to help where I can.

 

Something people might not know?

I love to travel. I haven’t done heaps of that recently with a young son in tow but it’s my favourite thing. My absolute highlight was backpacking through South America.
