Demand Generation & Community Lead

The Role
Since 2012, Lookahead has helped Australia’s best tech companies hire people who care about building great software. We’re a close-knit team who’ve all come from technical backgrounds ourselves - we’ve written the code, shipped the products, and sat in the interviews.

We’ve grown almost entirely through reputation, referrals and being part of the Australian tech community. Now we’re looking for a Demand Generation & Community Lead.

You’ll own how Lookahead shows up in the market and turn that presence into pipeline - creating content that positions us as the go-to recruitment partner in Australian tech, showing up where our clients and candidates gather, and making sure every inbound enquiry is handled fast and professionally. It’s a role for someone equally comfortable writing a sharp LinkedIn post, working a room at a founder meetup, and qualifying a hot inbound lead before passing it to the recruitment team.

What You’ll Do
Demand Generation & Content

• Create original content — LinkedIn posts, newsletters, blogs, short-form video that builds Lookahead’s brand and generates inbound interest
• Own our LinkedIn presence end to end and grow it into a genuine lead source
• Turn market insights, client stories and founder conversations into content that resonates with tech leaders and candidates
• Run campaigns and experiments to test what drives engagement and enquiries, then double down on what works
• Maintain a consistent, distinctive brand voice across everything we publish

Community & Business Development

• Be an active, recognisable presence in Sydney’s startup and engineering community at meetups, conferences and industry events
• Build authentic relationships that turn into warm introductions, referrals and new business
• Identify partnership opportunities that put Lookahead in front of the right audiences
• Bring market intelligence and community insight back to the team to sharpen our positioning

Inbound & Operations

• Be the first point of contact for inbound enquiries. Respond quickly, qualify well, and hand off warm opportunities to the recruitment team
• Coordinate meetings and keep enquiries moving through the pipeline
• Keep the CRM clean and client information organised and up to date
• Track the metrics that matter: leads generated, content performance, pipeline created and report on what’s working

What Success Looks Like
After your first 12 months, you’ll have:

• Built a content engine that reliably generates inbound leads and enquiries
• Grown Lookahead’s LinkedIn and brand visibility into a measurable source of pipeline
• Become a recognised face for Lookahead in the Sydney tech community
• Created warm relationships and partnerships that opened doors for the recruitment team
• Established a fast, professional inbound process that converts interest into opportunities
• Developed a sharp understanding of the tech recruitment market and how to position us within it

The Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Hybrid working out of our Sydney CBD office
• A front-row seat to Australia’s brilliant tech ecosystem - startups to enterprise, founders to CTOs
