🚨 Rare Opportunity: Social Media Manager & Content Creator
Full time, NZ or AU (remote considered)
Want to help build one of the most talked-about consumer brands in Australia and New Zealand?
We're looking for a commercially-minded relationship builder to lead our partnerships, collaborations, and brand activations function. Someone who can spot opportunities others miss, get meetings with brands we probably shouldn't be able to get meetings with, and turn big ideas into campaigns people actually talk about.
This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the founders of one of the fastest-growing brands in the Southern Hemisphere and help shape the next chapter of our growth.
You'll have a front row seat as we expand across Australia, launch into major retailers, and build a brand that earns its place in culture - not just on shelf.
Who We Are 👋
At Two Dudes, we're here to ignite the men's grooming boom.
We make skincare, deodorant, haircare, and shaving products that are straight-up, easy to use, and effective. Blending natural NZ botanicals with high-performing active ingredients to help dudes take care of themselves without the fluff.
Born in a garage, now on the shelves of 2,500+ stores across NZ & AU, and we're only just getting started.
Our mission? Change men's health one bathroom at a time.
We're not trying to become another skincare company. We're trying to build the most shared men's brand in the group chat.
