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.
About the Role
We’re looking for a highly creative Senior Social Media Executive who is confident both behind the camera and in front of it. This role is focused on producing lo-fi, social-first content — shooting, editing, and jumping on-camera to create relatable, trend-led videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta. You’ll be a core face of ShopBack’s social presence, bringing ideas to life quickly in an authentic, platform-native way. Working closely with the Content Manager and Social team, you’ll help elevate ShopBack’s brand across channels with content that feels real, fun, and culturally relevant.
This position operates in a hybrid model with required on-site work at our Sydney office. Please ensure you are Sydney-based or open to relocating as part of your application.
