At Xero, we’re here to help you supercharge your business.
The Role

Become a core part of Xero's high-velocity lifecycle marketing engine. In this critical role, you won't just write—you'll act as a strategic partner embedded directly within the customer engagement team, driving how we guide millions of customers.

More importantly, you'll be a key strategist, identifying opportunities to optimize performance and increase customer lifetime value—making this the perfect opportunity to truly make your mark on the business.

Here, AI is a tool to augment and test, but you will be here to think, strategize, and create. You'll leverage technology to accelerate execution while owning the creative and strategic vision.

Reporting to the Head of Performance Creative, you’ll be at the center of 20+ monthly experiments designed to boost conversion and reduce churn. Your words and strategic insights will have a direct, measurable impact on the business, influencing how small business owners experience and engage with the Xero platform.
