Head of Marketing

**Description**:
About CES

We believe there is a better way to recycle that positively impacts individuals, communities and the environment.

Our mission is to increase recycling rates, rid the world of drink container litter, and empower community participation in an accredited circular economy.

We provide services and technology to enable the circular lifecycle of a drink container, from purchase to collection, through to recycling and remanufacturing. Our services include IT technology, payments, brand experience, customer support, and materials trading.

Container Exchange Services (CES) is a joint venture between Coca-Cola Europacific Partners and Lion that was established to provide scalable and sustainable solutions for Container Deposit Schemes (CDS) in Australia and around the World. We power one of Australia’s largest recycling programs: Containers for Change.

As an organization, we are nearing 5 years of operation having grown rapidly in revenue and people. The business is undergoing massive growth through our existing recycling schemes and expanding into new states.

The Role

As part of the executive leadership team, over the 12-month term of this parental leave contract you will guide the strategic direction of the wider business with a focus on marketing, business development, and sustainability. You’ll work closely with our customer (recycling scheme) stakeholders and develop and implement our stakeholder communications strategy and plans.

You will lead, oversee and manage the strategic development, production and implementation of customer marketing activities, with specific focus on brand, ATL, media and customer experience, with the goal of helping us increase recycling rates. We have ambitious targets in Australia and beyond to keep drink containers out of oceans and landfill and transform them into resources that can be used again and again.

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Head of Marketing who will lead and support our team with implementing successful new go-to-market programs. You’ll play a key role in changing recycling behaviours in Australia and in driving business development activities internationally as we expand our business.
