ABOUT THIS ROLE
Channel marketing specialists develop and execute marketing programs that support a business’s sales through indirect channels, including distributors, resellers, retail partners, dealers and other third-party outlets.
The role involves building co-marketing programs, developing trade promotions, creating partner-facing collateral and ensuring brand consistency across the channel network. It sits at the intersection of marketing and sales, requiring someone who understands both the commercial goals of the channel partners and the brand requirements of the business they represent.
In Brisbane, channel marketing specialists work across technology, manufacturing, FMCG, industrial supply and distribution businesses that rely on partner networks rather than direct-to-consumer sales to reach their market. Demand is steady within these sectors, and businesses value candidates who understand how channel incentives and co-marketing programs actually drive sell-through, not just awareness.
Our guide on why Brisbane employers struggle to find reliable staff explains why strong candidates are often gone within days of applying, and what separates a channel marketing specialist who genuinely drives partner performance from one who just manages collateral requests.
What We Screen For
Demonstrated Channel or Trade Marketing Experience
Candidates should have hands-on experience developing and executing marketing programs within a channel or trade marketing context, not just general marketing.
Understanding of Partner and Reseller Dynamics
A genuine understanding of how channel partners operate, what motivates them and how co-marketing programs need to be structured to drive real sell-through is essential.
Program Development and Execution
The ability to build a channel marketing program from brief through to execution, including promotions, events, digital assets and MDF (market development fund) management, is expected.
Cross-Functional Communication
The role requires close coordination with sales, product and marketing teams internally, and with partner marketing contacts externally.
CRM and Marketing Automation Familiarity
Confident use of CRM and marketing automation tools is expected, particularly for managing partner communication and tracking program performance.
Data and Performance Analysis
Candidates need the ability to measure channel program effectiveness and report on ROI in a way that informs future investment decisions.
Licenses and Tickets
- No specific licences required for most placements
- Relevant tertiary qualification in Marketing or Business. Advantageous
- Experience with CRM or partner portal platforms. Highly regarded
