Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, and the first prototype was built over a weekend with the other co-founders. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
We’re on the hunt for an ambitious, data-driven Digital Marketing Specialistto take ShopBack through its next phase of growth. Based out of our Sydney office, you’ll be at the forefront of scaling customer acquisition for one of ShopBack’s newest and fastest-growing markets, combining analytical rigour with creative flair. This is a unique opportunity to lead customer acquisition and drive strategic growth as we work towards becoming a household name in New Zealand.
