What we’re building, and where you fit.
SupaHuman builds AI platforms that let regulated industries use AI safely. Our products, VETos and Nova, are used by vocational education providers across New Zealand and Australia. VETos, the AI Operating System for Vocational Education, designs assessments and learning resources mapped to a provider's scope and validates them before an auditor does. Nova delivers learning that students actually practise, rather than learning they sit through. Alongside them, AI Studio works with organisations in other industries to build AI that fits the way they operate.
We've just closed our Series A and Australia is where much of our next growth will come from. As AI reshapes work across the economy, vocational education is where people turn to retrain. The providers doing that work need tools built for it, and they need to trust the people offering them.
As Head of Marketing & Partnerships, ANZ, you'll own how SupaHuman shows up in the sector and the pipeline that comes from it. This isn't a traditional marketing role. It's about relationships, community and trust: working closely with senior people across providers, peak bodies and partners, and explaining what our products do plainly enough that people believe it.
“We're hiring a Head of Marketing & Partnerships in Melbourne. Vocational education is where people turn when work changes, and AI is changing a lot of work. We build the AI that providers use to keep up. We're looking for someone who knows the sector, earns its trust, and turns that into pipeline.”
Why this role is worth your time.
Why you'll like it here:
You'll build the function, not inherit one. No agency and no playbook to follow, just a clear goal, a small team and the room to shape how marketing works here for years to come.
The products solve real problems. Providers using VETos and Nova save weeks of specialist work, which makes the story easy to tell honestly.
You'll be close to the founders and the customers. Decisions are quick, and you'll see the difference your work makes in the pipeline rather than in a vanity report.
The timing is good. We've just raised our Series A, we're growing properly into Australia, and the sector is at the start of a big shift.
The scope is broad by design.
You'll own pipeline across ANZ, and the brand, partnerships and community that create it.
What you'd be doing:
- Owning pipeline. You're accountable for the qualified opportunities marketing and partnerships generate across New Zealand and Australia, working hand in hand with sales and our Australian education team.
- Building senior relationships across the sector: RTOs, TAFEs, PTEs, peak bodies, Jobs and Skills Councils and industry partners. Being someone they'd call for a view, not just a vendor they hear from.
- Growing community through partners. Events, roundtables, the SupaHuman Academy and content made with the people we work with, rather than about them.
- Owning how VETos, Nova and AI Studio are represented online, across our website, social and content, so the value of each is clear, honest and consistent.
- Leading product and brand marketing: positioning, messaging and launches, in a plain, non-pitchy voice the sector trusts.
- Leading and growing a small team, starting with our Product Marketing Specialist in Auckland and a second hire you'll help shape.
- Running marketing AI-first, and pushing what that looks like for a function our size.
- Managing the marketing budget and reporting on what's working, so we put money behind what builds pipeline and stop what doesn't.
Be Brave. Be Hungry. Be Human.
We live by three values — and we’re searching for someone who embodies them and puts customers at the centre of their work.
Someone with deep empathy for education and the people who work in it. You understand that trainers, compliance leads and CEOs in this sector have been sold to plenty, and that trust is earned slowly. You'd rather build a relationship than run a campaign, and you're prepared to push the boundaries of how a marketer operates. You're curious, direct and comfortable without a lot of structure around you. You want to build something that lasts, not just hit next quarter's numbers.
What you’ll bring.
Skills & experience
- Senior marketing, partnerships or business development experience, ideally in vocational education or the wider education sector.
- A strong network inside ANZ education, or a track record of building one quickly.
- Pipeline you can point to, built through relationships, partners and community rather than paid channels alone.
- You already use AI tools every day and have a view on how they change the way marketing works.
- A strong writer who can explain a technical product plainly to a non-technical audience.
- Experience leading a small team and building a function from its early stages.
- Comfortable with the usual tooling: CRM and marketing automation (we use HubSpot), LinkedIn and a web CMS.
What good looks like, twelve months in.
