Commission and write high-quality lifestyle content while building a diverse contributor network
Create compelling headlines and optimize content for distribution across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
Drive affiliate revenue through engaging, clickable content
Work closely with commercial teams to support branded content initiatives
Analyse traffic metrics and audience data to inform content strategy
Collaborate with our video and podcast teams to develop cross-platform lifestyle content
Lead and develop a team of content producers across social and written platforms
Represent Mamamia at industry events and build relationships with PR agencies

You have 3-5 years' experience in digital lifestyle publishing with a proven track record of growing audience metrics
You're an exceptional writer and editor who can produce high-volume, engaging content
You have experience managing contributors and direct reports
You understand SEO, social media optimization, and content distribution strategies
You can skillfully balance editorial integrity with commercial objectives
You have strong news judgment and trend-spotting capabilities within lifestyle verticals

You're comfortable with tech tools like CMS platforms, Google Analytics, and Canva
Life at Mamamia
We're fast-paced and innovative, with a collaborative culture when it comes to industry-leading strategies and ideas.
We're small enough that you can create real and tangible change, and have your voice heard, and large enough that we can support your ideas with experienced, industry-leading teams, and deliver them to an audience of millions of women every month. We have a startup spirit within a scaled-up business structure.
The core purpose of Mamamia is to make the world a better place for women and girls, and we live this philosophy in the content we create and with the work we do. While our core purpose informs every business and content decision we make, we execute on our purpose in a way that's engaging, entertaining and adds meaning and value to the lives of Australian women.
We're passionate about embracing AI and technology in our creative process, constantly exploring new ways to enhance storytelling and connect with our audience - we're excited for you to join us on this innovative journey.

Flexible working conditions (Hybrid working model)
