Working At Glitch

About Us

Glitch Productions is an independent animation studio based in Australia making original, long-form animated shows distributed on YouTube. Our channel has over 22 million subscribers, tens of millions of views per episode, and is still growing strong. Our studio is filled with incredibly talented and passionate artists determined to change the way animation is produced and treated in the industry.

One of our latest IPs, The Amazing Digital Circus, has amassed over 400 million views on its pilot alone, and we have a lot more still to come.

Role Overview

The Head of Marketing will lead Glitch Productions' marketing function across our growing portfolio of original IP, including Murder Drones, The Amazing Digital Circus, Gaslight District, Knights of Guinevere, and many more to come.

Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, you will be responsible for translating Glitch's overall marketing strategy into a high-performing, scalable global marketing function.

You will lead the marketing team, build its capabilities and infrastructure, oversee performance, and ensure the function can effectively support an increasingly large portfolio of shows, products and franchises.

A core focus of the role will be advancing Glitch's capabilities in advertising, audience analytics, CRM, lifecycle marketing and loyalty. With an enormous global audience already engaging with our IP, we want to become significantly more sophisticated in how we understand, reach, grow and retain that audience.

You will work closely with our Marketing Director, who leads campaign, content and creative marketing. Together, you will ensure major launches and ongoing campaigns combine strong creative execution with effective distribution, audience targeting, measurement and continuous optimisation.

You will also be responsible for building the team, systems, processes and operating structure required for Glitch's marketing function to scale globally.

This role is ideal for a senior marketing leader who combines strong commercial and analytical instincts with an understanding of entertainment, fandom and creative marketing, and who knows how to turn ambitious marketing strategy into an exceptionally capable marketing organisation

• Build scalable marketing infrastructure: Develop the systems, data, processes, workflows and operating rhythms required for the marketing organisation to scale, working closely with Business Operations.
