Marketing Graduate

At IRIS Software Group, we're helping thousands of schools around the world work smarter through market-leading education technology.

As our Australian Education business continues to grow, we're looking for a Marketing Associate to help bring our marketing activity for iSAMS to life across Australia.

iSAMS is a cloud-based school management platform used by independent and international schools to manage their day-to-day operations, data and communications in one connected system.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate, or someone at the very beginning of their marketing career, who wants to gain hands-on experience across events, campaigns, digital marketing, content and lead generation.

You'll work alongside experienced marketers, take ownership of real projects from day one and help more schools across Australia discover what iSAMS can do for them.

If you're organised, creative, eager to learn and enjoy making things happen, this could be a brilliant place to build your marketing career.

📍LocationPerth, Western Australia – remote, with occasional travel to selected education events across Australia.

You must already have the right to work in Australia.

🧾Why This Role Matters

This is a brand-new role created because our Australian Education business is growing rapidly.

iSAMS already has an established presence in Australia, and we're investing in reaching more independent and international schools across the country.

Our Australian events programme has grown to around 20 education events each year, creating more opportunities to meet schools, build awareness of iSAMS and generate new relationships for our Sales team.

You'll help make sure those events and the campaigns surrounding them are carefully organised, professionally delivered and followed up effectively.

You'll also support digital campaigns, create engaging communications and help turn marketing activity into genuine opportunities for the business.

From your first day, your work will contribute to the continued growth of iSAMS in one of its key international markets.

👥About the Team You'll Join

You'll join a friendly and collaborative Marketing team responsible for growing the iSAMS brand across Australia.

Working closely with the Marketing Manager, Sales, Customer Success and Product teams, you'll gain exposure to every stage of the customer journey – from introducing new schools to iSAMS through campaigns and events, to supporting customer communications and nurturing future opportunities.

You'll have experienced colleagues around you to provide guidance, answer questions and help you develop. At the same time, you'll be trusted to organise your work, take responsibility for your tasks and gradually own projects of your own.

This is a genuine opportunity to learn how marketing works within an international technology business while making a visible contribution to a growing local market.

📊What You'll Be Doing

This is a varied, hands-on marketing role, with a strong focus on supporting our Australian education events programme.

This will include:

• Email marketing campaigns and nurture journeys.
• Social media content and engagement.

⚙️ Marketing Operations

You'll help keep our marketing activity running smoothly by:

You might be a recent graduate, graduating soon, or have gained some practical experience through an internship, placement, university project, volunteering or part-time work.

• A genuine interest in events, campaigns, content and digital marketing.
• The confidence to work independently within a remote team.

• Experience supporting events, marketing or social media through university, work or volunteering.
• Exposure to a CRM or marketing platform such as HubSpot.
• An interest in education, technology or EdTech.

🚀 Why Apply?

This is your opportunity to build broad, practical marketing experience with an international software business that's investing in Australia.

Rather than being limited to one area of marketing, you'll develop experience across:

• Events and conferences.
• Campaign delivery.
• Digital marketing.
• Content creation.
• Lead generation.
• CRM and marketing operations.
• Sales collaboration.
• Performance reporting.

You'll receive support from experienced colleagues, while being trusted with meaningful work from the beginning.

• Ongoing learning and career development.
• Exposure to major education events across Australia.
• The opportunity to market an established EdTech platform.
• A collaborative international team.
• The chance to see the direct impact of your work.

📝 What Can You Expect From Our Application Process?

Our process is designed to help you understand the role, meet the team and show us your potential.

1️⃣ Initial conversation with Talent Acquisition (plus online assessments)

We'll talk about your background, interests and what you're looking for as you begin your marketing career.

You'll also complete two online assessments:

• CCAT – a short, 15-minute timed assessment. We recommend finding a quiet space and having a pen and paper available.
• EPP – an untimed assessment that you can complete at your own pace.

2️⃣ Final interview with the Marketing Manager

This will be a more detailed conversation about the role, the team and what interests you about marketing.

You'll also complete a short practical task designed to show how you approach organisation, communication and marketing activity.

There'll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, learn more about iSAMS and decide whether IRIS is the right place to begin your career.

If you're looking for more than just your first marketing role – and want a place where you can learn, grow and make a genuine impact – we'd love to hear from you.
