Overview
At Simmer, we're building the future of healthy, high-flavour, feel-good eating.

We’re looking for a Growth Manager - Digital Marketing to drive customer acquisition through high-impact, data-led campaigns that scale efficiently while delivering exceptional creative.
This role is about owning the performance media machine: knowing what to test, when to scale, when to kill, and how to build repeatable winners. You’ll work closely with our Founder and Growth Director to create ads that drive serious revenue, while keeping a ruthless eye on efficiency. You’ll be both operator and strategist—in the accounts daily, but with the brain to think bigger, faster, smarter.
If you’re a restless builder who moves at 2x speed, sweats the detail, and gets energy from seeing the numbers move, you’ll love it here.
