HIRING: Communications Manager (Maternity Cover)

Jun 06, 2025Meg David

We’re on the lookout for a savvy, spirited and self-starting Communications Assistant to join the crew at Old Bridge Cellars for a 6-12 month maternity cover. Based across our North Fremantle and Como stores, this role is all about bringing our brand to life – online and in-store.

You'll be supporting the broader team with everything from weekly EDMs and social media to wine events and in-store promotions, so flexibility, creativity and a good glass-half-full attitude are essential.

Your week could look like:

  • Scheduling socials, snapping content and replying to the Bridgees
  • Uploading products and managing orders on Shopify
  • Planning an in-store tasting or helping run one of our beloved ...by Old Bridge events
  • Whipping up an EDM in Klaviyo and distributing to database
  • Liaising with local media and pitching 'what's on' features
  • Creating content and collateral in Canva
  • Keeping the website fresh and blog posts on point
  • Working with our subscription crew to pack and post curated wine drops
  • Brainstorming promo ideas, events or community collabs
  • Managing schedules, staying across event timelines and team WIPs
  • Navigating the odd tech hiccup and helping us stay on top of reporting

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re:

  • Organised – you’ll help keep the wheels turning and calendars aligned
  • Confident – you’re comfortable talking to customers, media or suppliers
  • Ideas-oriented – you love thinking ahead, not just ticking boxes
  • Autonomous – you know how to take the reins and run with them (but we’re always here to help)
  • A strong communicator with a natural sense of voice and visual style

Helpful experience:

  • Social media management
  • Shopify (or a willingness to learn quickly)
  • Canva (design eye welcomed)
  • Klaviyo or Mailchimp
  • PR/media comms or writing for an audience
  • Event planning and on-the-day execution
  • A love and knowledge of wine, craft beer and supporting small producers

This is a part-time 'replacement employee' or 'maternity cover' role for an initial 6-month period. Start time beginning August, flexible. Office is based in North Fremantle.
