Senior Brand Lead at Envato - Remote Australia/NZ — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-friendly with a nomad-compatible perk: Envato explicitly offers employees the option to work from another remote location for up to 3 months per year — a standout benefit for those who want to travel while working. The role is described as a senior individual contributor position with "real autonomy," suggesting a results-oriented culture that can accommodate flexible schedules.
Timezone considerations: Based in Australia/New Zealand, this role likely expects alignment with AEST/NZST business hours for collaboration with Product, Creative, and Growth teams. Fully async arrangements are not confirmed, so expect some overlap requirements — roughly UTC+8 to UTC+13. This may limit how far west you can travel during the 3-month remote window.
Visa options for AU/NZ residents:
- Australia: No dedicated digital nomad visa exists; however, the 3-month remote work perk could allow stays in countries with digital nomad visas (e.g., Portugal NHR, Thailand LTR, Indonesia Bali visa).
- New Zealand: Similar situation — use the 3-month remote allowance to base yourself in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, or Southern Europe.
Cost of living comparison (no salary disclosed): Without a disclosed salary, precise comparisons are difficult. Senior brand roles in AU/NZ typically command AUD 130,000–170,000. At those levels, living in Lisbon, Bangkok, or Medellín during the 3-month window would result in significant savings given their lower costs relative to Sydney or Auckland.
Help shape how Envato's product shows up in the world
Envato is an all-in-one creative asset toolkit, bringing together millions of creative assets and AI tools to help creative professionals make better work, faster. Everything we do in Marketing starts with the product: what it enables, the problems it solves and the momentum it creates for the people using it.
That is where our Brand team comes in.
We're looking for a Senior Brand Lead to make sure Envato's brand and product story are working together. You'll help us translate what we are building into a brand that creative professionals want to be part of — one that feels useful, inspiring and distinctly Envato.
You'll be close to Product, Creative, Content and Growth, helping shape the thinking behind the launches, campaigns and stories that bring Envato to market. From a new AI workflow to a major product release, you'll help uncover the customer value, find the strongest story and make sure the work lands with the people it is for.
What you'll do
You'll report to the Head of Creative and Brand Marketing, with the opportunity to work closely with the CEO and senior leaders across the business. This is a senior individual contributor role with real autonomy. You'll have room to shape the work, bring a point of view and turn good thinking into action.
A big part of the role is staying close to creative professionals. You'll be driven to understand how they work, what slows them down, what inspires them and what is changing in their world. You'll bring those insights back into the team, using them to influence how we build, position and talk about our product.
Day-to-day responsibilities may include:
- Working with Product Marketing and the Creative Studio to develop the story behind a product launch
- Developing campaigns, building partnerships, or working with agencies
- Spotting cultural shifts that Envato should be part of
- Taking complex product or customer insights and turning them into clear, compelling ideas
You'll bring strong brand experience, instincts and commercial marketing judgement. You know that great brand work is not just about looking good — it helps people understand why a product matters, gives them a reason to choose it and makes them want to come back.
Who we are looking for
We're looking for someone with deep brand and campaign experience, ideally from a digital product, subscription, technology or creative business. You'll be comfortable working at both the strategic and practical level, confident with senior stakeholders and motivated by the chance to help a product-led brand keep evolving.
Most of all, you'll care about creative work. You'll be curious about new technology and AI, but equally interested in the human judgement, taste and craft that make the final result worth making.
