Senior Growth Marketing Manager @ Carma

At Carma, we're more than just a car company—we're on a mission to shake up the Australian automotive industry! As a digital pre-owned car dealership, we're transforming the car buying and selling experience into a hassle-free, seamless journey that customers can truly enjoy. With our diverse and collaborative team managing everything from technology and marketing to buying and reconditioning in-house, we're powered by great people, fresh ideas and a shared ambition to do things differently.

As a Senior Growth Marketing Manager , you'll play a key role in driving Carma's next phase of growth. You'll be responsible for identifying and scaling new acquisition channels, maximising organic search performance, building effective CRM and lifecycle programs, and bringing our product propositions to life through compelling messaging and customer-focused marketing. This is a high-impact role for a commercially minded growth marketer who combines strategic thinking with a hands-on approach. Working closely with the Director of Marketing, Product team, digital performance specialists and agency partners, you'll own initiatives across both sides of our marketplace—buyers and sellers—using data, experimentation and customer insights to drive sustainable lead growth and measurable business outcomes. You'll have the opportunity to shape how customers discover Carma, engage with our brand and move through the buying and selling journey, while helping build a smarter, more scalable growth engine for the business.
