Marketing Category Manager

Job no: 943879

Work type: Permanent / Full time

Location: Support Office - Docklands

From humble beginnings in downtown Bendigo to supporting Australian communities far and wide- Myer has always been a special place, transcending beyond just a place to work.

Myer is a place for finding life-long friendships, a safe space with a big heart. Here, you're encouraged to be yourself, share your ideas and are entrusted to deliver your very best. Some might even say it feels like being "right at home".

MYER is looking for a Category Marketing Manager – Home / Marketplaces who will be responsible for supporting the marketing and commercial performance of Myer's Home and Marketplaces portfolio — spanning furniture, home décor, electrical, and emerging third-party marketplace brands.

Reporting to the Senior Marketing Manager – Home, this role partners closely with buying, planning, eCommerce, and brand teams to implement campaigns that drive category growth, elevate brand presence and deliver strong customer engagement.

This is a hands-on role that blends campaign execution with commercial insight, cross-functional collaboration and process excellence — ensuring all Home and Marketplace initiatives are delivered on time, on brand and aligned to business priorities.

Flexible hybrid working model – mix of working in our Docklands Support Office and Work-From-Home

About the role:

• Partner with the Home and Marketplaces Buying and Planning teams to understand trading priorities, product launches, and promotional opportunities.
• Translate commercial plans into actionable marketing briefs and strategic initiatives.
• Manage small-to-medium scale and fast-to-market campaign opportunities that require agility and responsiveness.
• Support the development and execution of integrated marketing campaigns, including seasonal events, promotional activity, exclusive brand partnerships, and home living campaigns.
• Collaborate with internal teams (eComm, Loyalty, Social, Media, PR) and external creative agency teams to ensure compelling and consistent execution.
• Support the onboarding and launch marketing of new Home brands and Marketplace sellers.
• Coordinate launch marketing activity including asset management, campaign briefing, and cross-channel rollout (eComm, social, in-store).
• Ensure new partners are effectively integrated into customer touchpoints to build awareness and conversion.
• Support the management and reconciliation of marketing budgets and supplier-funded activities.
• Monitor campaign spend and track advertising subsidies in partnership with finance and category leads.
• Own and maintain marketing trackers, campaign calendars, and workflow tools to ensure efficiency and transparency.
• Track and report on campaign KPIs including traffic, engagement, conversion and ROI.
• Assist with post-campaign performance analysis and cross-functional reviews.

About you:

• Extensive experience in retail, category or brand marketing, ideally in home, lifestyle or FMCG.
• Proven experience coordinating cross-channel marketing campaigns with internal and external partners.
• Ability to balance multiple deadlines and manage complex stakeholder requirements.
• Strong understanding of trading calendars and omnichannel customer experience.
• Excellent project management, organisational, and communication skills.
• Experience working closely with buying, planning, eComm and creative teams.
• High attention to detail and process discipline.
• Proficiency in marketing tools and systems (e.g. Excel, PowerPoint, Wrike).
• Degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field.
• Experience in a large retail or marketplace-led organisation.
• Familiarity with co-branded or supplier-funded marketing campaigns.
• Understanding of omnichannel retail experience including VM, digital and in-store coordination.

Benefits to you:

• Generous team member discounts on all Myer products, including team-member exclusive discounts.
• Access to lifestyle leave and volunteer leave – arrange work around your life, not life around work.
• A supportive leadership and team network to set you up for success.
• Career growth and succession opportunities across the business.
