Marketing Manager

About Us

Educate ELC is a Central Coast-based, non-profit early childhood education and care organisation, operating a growing network of OOSH and long daycare centres. We are a small but well-capitalised organisation with significant growth potential, and we are looking for an experienced, part-time Marketing Manager to help drive that growth.

This is a rare three-day-a-week role: based on the Central Coast and reporting to the General Manager, offering genuine autonomy in a purpose-driven, non-profit environment, without the pressures of the corporate childcare model or a long commute to the city.

You will play a key role in shaping how our organisation is known and experienced by families, the community and our own employees.

As Marketing Manager, you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop and deliver a comprehensive Marketing and Community Partnerships strategy that builds brand awareness across the Central Coast and any future regional areas the organisation expands into.
• Manage our advertising, social media and digital marketing channels - currently limited - and grow these to expand our reach.
• Own our PR and media relations, ensuring consistent and engaging representation of our organisation and its unique value proposition.
• Contribute and support the GM during community consultation activities that build genuine partnerships and awareness with like-minded local community and health organisations, as well as positive relationships with government and regulatory bodies.
• Create high-quality content to support grant submissions and funding proposals as opportunities arise.
• Manage an annual marketing strategy and budget as confirmed with the GM, with a focus on strong enrolments as our key measure of impact.

Qualifications & Requirements

Essential:

• Minimum 5 years ' experience in marketing, communications or a related field, with a proven track record of developing and delivering annual marketing strategies and budgets.
• Comprehensive digital marketing skills, with a commitment to staying on top of emerging artificial intelligence capabilities - expertise isn't required, but a genuine interest in staying current is.
• Ability to support building and maintaining relationships with community organisations, government stakeholders and other partners.
• An Australian citizen or permanent resident.

Desirable, but not essential:

• Experience in childcare, early education or a related sector.
• Experience working within a non-profit organisation.

Please send your application by 18/8/2026 to Alina Dan, CEO, Holistic Management & Consultancy ([email protected]).

Please ensure your application includes a cover letter addressing the key requirements of the role.
