Join our growing values-driven team that puts people (and families) first and is dedicated to helping you evolve into your best professional self. Step into a role where you’ll grow, thrive, and make a meaningful impact—

About the Role

Are you a marketing professional ready to take your career to the next level? Do you thrive on managing diverse client accounts, unleashing your creativity, and working with a collaborative team that’s redefining how work gets done?

If you’re excited about growing your skills, creating meaningful impact, and contributing to a people-first culture, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re seeking an experienced Marketing Account Manager to join CAKE on a 6-month fixed-term contract, with the opportunity to extend based on performance and fit.

About Us

We’re Redefining the Status Quo
The old idea of "work-life balance" just doesn’t cut it anymore. At CAKE, we’re changing the game. Through collaboration, flexibility, and a strengths-based approach, we’ve built a model where everyone—clients, collaborators, and our team—gets to have their CAKE and eat it too.

Here’s what sets us apart:

A Flexible Talent Model: We tap into the expertise of highly skilled professionals—many of whom are stay-at-home parents—who work flexibly around their lives, not the other way around. Because business owners don’t need to onboard full-time permanent teams to succeed, they just need to be able to access them when they need them.

We’re People-First, Impact-Driven: By putting people first at everything we do, we create sustainable, meaningful impact. Whether it’s understanding our clients’ target customers, solving their toughest challenges, or tapping into our collaborators’ unique strengths, our people-first approach drives results that matter.

A Culture of Support: We empower clients, amplify collaborators’ strengths, and uplift our team. It’s not just about results—it’s about making the journey meaningful for everyone.

We’re proving that having it all doesn’t mean doing it all (and definitely not all at once). We’re driving real change—be part of the solution. Join us.

About You

We’re looking for a like-minded individual who shares our mission and is inspired by what we’re building. You get what we’re about—creating a people-first, impact-driven model that redefines success—and you’re excited to align yourself with a team that’s changing the game.

You may be continuing your career or returning after a pause, but what matters most is your mindset: purpose-driven, proactive, adaptable, and committed to doing excellent work with empathy and integrity.

You’re not just a skilled marketer—you’re a mission-driven professional who thrives in a collaborative, flexible, and supportive environment. Here’s what we’re looking for:

Experience & Expertise:

A bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, or a related field.

Proven experience as a Marketing Account Manager, ideally in an agency setting.

Strong understanding of marketing principles, with expertise in digital channels, SEM, SEO, GEO and AI.

Exceptional project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple campaigns and deadlines.

Attributes & Mindset:

A people-first approach to building relationships and solving problems.

A passion for collaboration and creating meaningful impact and results for clients and teams.

Adaptability to changing needs and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a knack for fostering trust.

A commitment to excellence in everything you do—without losing sight of the journey.

Your Role & Responsibilities

As a Marketing Account Manager at CAKE, you’ll be part of a team redefining what it means to deliver meaningful impact. You’ll play a key role in building strong client partnerships, driving growth, and delivering exceptional results. Here’s what you’ll do:

Account Management: Cultivate and nurture client relationships, acting as their trusted advisor and primary contact for all marketing needs.

Campaign Management: Lead the planning and execution of campaigns across channels, collaborating with our team and leveraging your expertise to deliver outstanding results.

Digital Expertise: Develop and implement effective SEO and SEM strategies that drive measurable success.

Performance Analysis: Analyze campaign performance and provide actionable recommendations to continuously optimize outcomes for clients.

Client Communication: Build trust through regular client meetings, presentations, and progress reviews, ensuring alignment and satisfaction.

Business Development: Identify opportunities to add value, pitch ideas, and secure new projects from existing and prospective clients.

Team Collaboration: Support and guide team members, fostering a culture of collaboration, kindness, and shared success.

If you’re ready to join a team that values collaboration, flexibility, and purpose, we’d love to hear from you!

Our Culture & Perks

At CAKE, we don’t just value the destination—we value the journey and who we’re travelling with. We’re intentional about creating a workplace that blends purpose, flexibility, and support, allowing everyone to thrive.

Here’s what you can expect:

Flexibility that works both ways: We know life has seasons—whether that’s school pickups, passion projects, or new challenges.

Empathy and respect: These are at the core of everything we do.

Celebration and connection: We love to laugh, celebrate wins, and build meaningful relationships.

Excellence and integrity: We hold ourselves to high standards while being kind and collaborative.

What we offer:

Flexible working: We work flexibly from our South Brisbane office, our clients’ premises, and from home.

Family-first culture: We believe in balancing work with what matters most.

Growth opportunities: Professional development, career progression, and opportunities to take on more responsibility as we grow.

Team bonding: Team lunches, surprise gifts, quarterly social events, and a supportive, fun-loving team.

At CAKE, we’re not just building careers—we’re building a better way to work. Join us and be part of the change.
