Senior Performance Marketing Manager (Full-time | Hybrid | Auckland, North Shore)
Status: Open
Date Posted: 2 November 2026
About Us
Quashed is NZ's leading insurance comparison platform on a mission to simplify a complex industry. We give consumers the transparency to choose better cover and help insurers connect seamlessly with everyday Kiwis.
Over 100,000 Kiwis already trust us, and we are charging toward 250,000. We're a high-momentum, nimble scale-up based on Auckland's North Shore. That means no red tape, direct access to leadership, and your work going live in front of tens of thousands of real customers from day one.
About the Role
This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for a seasoned performance marketer who has personally built, audited, and scaled Meta and Google accounts to deliver verifiable commercial returns. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will take complete ownership of our paid acquisition budget, strategy, and conversion efficiency across all digital growth channels.
You'll have support from our Google Ads specialist, our SEO/GEO specialist and the agency that runs our Meta ads. You set the direction, hold everyone to account, and get stuck in yourself when it matters.
Is this you? You know your historical CPA benchmarks by heart, understand the nuances of the tracking landscape, and refuse to settle for clicks over verified customer sign-ups.
Key Responsibilities
- Acquisition Strategy & Capital Allocation: Own and allocate our multi-channel paid budget across Meta and Google, rapidly shifting spend toward the highest-yielding opportunities.
- Meta Channel Performance: Rebuild account structures, optimise audiences, and test strategies and creatives to scale profitable sign-ups rather than top-of-funnel traffic.
- Google Channel Performance: Direct and optimise Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, and YouTube Shorts; continuously audit spend to double down on winners and eliminate wasted budget.
- Full-Funnel Measurement & Integrity: Own the tracking architecture from first click to Market Scan completion and policy purchase with insurers. Maintain data parity across Meta Conversions API (CAPI), Google Enhanced Conversions, GA4, and Mixpanel.
- Performance Creative Engine: Partner with our Marketing Coordinator and agency to run a disciplined test roadmap of hooks, angles, video variations, and offers, analysing data to pinpoint winning creative.
- Lifecycle & Retargeting Strategy: Build retargeting flows paired with email lifecycle automation to re-engage users around policy renewal dates and drive repeat usage.
- Partner & Agency Accountability: Set KPIs, lead regular operational check-ins, and hold our digital partners accountable to hard performance outcomes, while identifying opportunities to bring capabilities in-house.
- Executive Performance Reporting: Deliver weekly visibility on spend, customer acquisition cost (CAC), volume, and user quality, paired with actionable growth initiatives.
About You
- 5+ years of hands-on performance marketing experience, including current in-platform execution across Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads.
- Demonstrated B2C / Scale-up track record: Proven experience scaling customer acquisition for consumer tech, marketplaces, fintech, or subscription businesses with verifiable CPA metrics.
- Tracking & attribution expertise: Deep technical literacy setting up, auditing, and debugging Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions, Google Tag Manager, and GA4.
- Commercial creative instinct: A sharp understanding of performance hooks, direct-response copy, and creative formats that convert attention into action.
- Agency management experience: Experience driving agencies and specialists to demanding targets and conducting constructive performance conversations when required.
- Analytical fluency: Comfortable with analysing, modeling and translating complex attribution data into clear business priorities.
- Eligibility: Valid right to work in New Zealand.
Nice-to-haves: Experience within financial services or comparison platforms; familiarity with CRM/lifecycle platforms (e.g., SendGrid); experience with TikTok/LinkedIn Ads or landing page CRO.
What We Offer
- Competitive remuneration: $120,000 – $160,000 base package reflecting your experience and execution track record.
- Direct leadership influence: Report directly to the CEO, with true autonomy over growth budgets and strategy.
- Career-defining challenge: Drive growth from 100,000+ to 250,000 users in an industry-changing startup.
- Modern workplace: Office based in Rosedale (North Shore) with some flexibility with working from home.
How to Apply
Apply via SEEK or email careers@quashed.co.nz, and include:
- Your CV.
- A brief cover note (max 1 page) covering a Meta or Google account you personally grew (monthly spend, CPA before/after, and key changes made) plus one core idea for scaling Quashed to 250,000 users.
Applications will be reviewed as they arrive, and the position will close as soon as the right candidate is found.
Marketing & Content Coordinator (Full-time | Hybrid | Auckland, North Shore)
Status: Open
Date Posted: 2 November 2026
About Us
Quashed is NZ's leading insurance comparison platform on a mission to simplify a complex industry. We give consumers the transparency to choose better cover and help insurers connect seamlessly with everyday Kiwis.
Over 100,000 Kiwis already trust us, and we are charging toward 250,000. We're a high-momentum, nimble scale-up based on Auckland's North Shore. That means no red tape, direct access to leadership, and your work going live in front of tens of thousands of real customers from day one.
About the Role
This is a fast-paced, hands-on creative role designed for an ambitious marketer early in their career. Working closely alongside our CEO and Senior Performance Marketing Manager, you will be the creative engine of Quashed. You'll turn commercial briefs into thumb-stopping paid ads, keep our organic social channels buzzing, and build an authentic brand presence across New Zealand.
While you won't be managing ad budgets or bidding algorithms directly, you will learn the engine room of high-growth performance marketing: testing hooks, iterating ad variants, analysing win rates, and seeing real-time commercial return on every piece of content you produce.
Key Responsibilities
- Paid Ad Creative: Produce high-converting static, motion, and short-form video ad variations (testing different hooks, headlines, formats, and angles) across Meta, Google, and YouTube.
- Organic & Short-Form Video: Plan, script, shoot, and edit Reels, TikToks, and Shorts that make insurance clear, relatable, and engaging for everyday Kiwis.
- Brand & Visuals: Own our Canva brand kits and asset libraries, turning around clean, on-brand creative fast across digital, web, and social touchpoints.
- Social & Community: Own the publishing calendar across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Moderate comments, respond to DMs, and feed customer sentiment back to the team.
- Executive & B2B Presence: Manage our LinkedIn company presence and assist the CEO in drafting polished, industry-relevant thought-leadership posts.
- Email & Lifecycle: Design, write, and assemble engaging lifecycle emails and customer newsletters, ensuring flawless links, proper segmentation, and sharp copy.
- Agency & Reporting Collaboration: Coordinate briefs with external agency partners, audit deliverables to ensure brand alignment, and prepare weekly creative snapshots showing which ad hooks won and why.
About You
- 1–3 years of experience in digital marketing, social media, or content creation (agency, in-house, or freelance).
- A solid portfolio showcasing short-form video (TikTok/Reels), paid ad creative, and social design work you've produced yourself.
- Proficiency in creative tools: Confident in Canva and standard video editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar).
- Exceptional eye for detail: Uncompromising standards when it comes to brand guidelines, specs, aspect ratios, and typo-free copy.
- Strong Kiwi voice: Clear, natural writing in plain NZ English — equally comfortable writing a sharp TikTok hook or an executive LinkedIn update.
- Organised self-starter: Comfortable juggling multiple briefs, testing rapidly, and working in a dynamic scale-up environment.
- Eligibility: Valid right to work in New Zealand.
What We Offer
- Competitive remuneration: Up to $90,000 package based on your track record and experience.
- Direct mentorship: Work directly with our CEO and Senior Performance Marketer, gaining hands-on exposure to paid acquisition, conversion strategy, and SEO.
- High impact: Join a recognised, high-growth brand where your ideas are implemented immediately, not lost in review committees.
- Flexibility: Office based with some flexibility with working from home.
How to Apply
Apply via SEEK or email careers@quashed.co.nz, and include:
- Your CV.
- A link to your portfolio or sample work (applications without creative work cannot be considered).
- A short cover note outlining why you're the right fit, along with one creative hook or content idea that would make a Kiwi stop scrolling and rethink their insurance.
Applications will be reviewed as they arrive, and the position will close as soon as the right candidate is found.
Software Engineering Intern - Full Stack (Paid Summer Internship | Auckland, North Shore)
Status: Open
Date Posted: 8 September 2026
About the Role
Quashed.co.nz saves Kiwis from overpaying and the frustrations of insurance. We make it easy to compare and shop for insurance in one place, all online.
We're looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our small engineering team over the summer. You'll work across the full stack on the product Kiwis actually use: Market Scan, which returns live quotes from 10+ NZ insurers in about 90 seconds, the integrations behind it, and the marketing site that brings people to it. This is real, shipped work, not a side project. Your code will be in production within your first few weeks.
We pride ourselves on shipping software that is not only beautiful but works perfectly. Testing is a big part of the job here, not an afterthought. If you like building things end to end, sweat the small details, and want to learn how a fintech runs from the inside, this is the role for you.
What You'll Work On
- Build and ship features across our React front ends and Node.js back-end services
- Help maintain and extend the insurer integrations that power live quoting
- Improve the marketing site (Gatsby, React) with a focus on performance, SEO and conversion
- Test your own work thoroughly, write automated tests, and hunt down edge cases before our users find them
- Review code and take part in how we deploy on AWS
- Use AI coding tools as part of your day-to-day workflow, and help us get better at using them
Requirements
- Currently studying computer science, software engineering or a related field, or a recent graduate
- Solid JavaScript or TypeScript fundamentals, with some exposure to React and Node.js through study, projects or work
- Comfortable with Git, and curious about how software gets built, tested and deployed for real
- Super attentive to detail. You notice the off-by-one pixel, the typo, and the edge case nobody else spotted
- Take testing seriously and care that what you ship actually works, not just that it looks done
- A self-starter who asks good questions, learns fast and finishes what they start
- Eligible to work in New Zealand and able to work from our North Shore office over the summer
Nice to Have
- Experience with AWS, browser automation (e.g. Playwright) or a headless CMS
- Personal projects or open-source work we can look at
