Want to experience the magic of scaling a fast-growing business, whilst making a huge positive impact on the world? Join one of Australia's most successful purpose-led start-ups
Why join the Skipper team?
At Skipper, our mission is to make zero-waste easy and accessible to all; and to turn everyday habits into a force for good.
How? Through our innovative products that eliminate plastic waste and reduce emissions from everyday items we consume at home.
Our suite of "just-add-water" products have taken the Australian and North American markets by storm. Since launching our first product, a zero-waste hand soap in Jan 2021, we achieved multi-million dollar revenues and profitability within 18 months. We've since hit 8-figure revenues, raised capital from a world-class venture fund, and collected over 100 tonnes of plastic waste. Today, we are actively preventing thousands of plastic bottles from being purchased every single day.
In short, we're a fast-growing business making a serious splash
In 2024, we did the unthinkable. We changed everything. We rebranded our business from Tirtyl to Skipper, and changed the look and feel of all of our products. Despite our success as Tirtyl, we made these changes to unlock new possibilities in the pursuit to build a truly world-class brand.
Now equipped with stronger brand foundations and better-than-ever products, we're looking to unlock the next stage of audacious growth. To achieve our goals, we need the most ambitious talent. That's where you come in…
About the role
You'll be at the heart of content at Skipper
Shaping what we say, how we show up and how we connect with our audience.
This is a high-impact, creatively led role for someone who sees content as more than just output, and more like a creative playground. You'll help grow Skipper's presence across Meta, TikTok, YouTube and wherever else makes sense. Both organic and paid are in play.
If you're after a team that values sharp thinking, original ideas and experimenting before things are perfect, you'll feel right at home. We move quickly, back each other and care about the people behind the pixels.
You'll report to our Marketing Lead and collaborate closely with the E-Commerce Manager and Marketing Associates. There's structure when you need it and space when you don't.
- Meta:
From good to Break the stereotypes of our category and lead with creative thinking, clear storytelling and a consistent presence that actually feels human. - TikTok:
From neglected to Culture-savvy, clever and confidently lo-fi- content that earns attention, not just scrolls. - LinkedIn & YouTube:
Untapped to thriving From brand-building to behind-the-scenes, help us show up with depth and creativity. - Other channels:
Got an idea? If it fits the brand and feels right, we're all ears. Let's test it.
