Hiring a marketing manager
Marketing manager recruitment comes down to finding someone who can own your day-to-day marketing end to end. Cemoh vets every candidate for hands-on channel skills and the organisational discipline to run a plan, then shortlists the strongest fits within 48 hours.
This is the single most requested role on our books. Australian SMEs usually want one capable person who can plan a quarter, brief designers and writers, run campaigns across email, social and paid, and report the results — a genuine all-rounder rather than a narrow specialist.
Hire a marketing manager two or three days a week to start, move them to full-time as the workload grows, or bring one in on contract to cover parental leave or a launch. Permanent placement is there when you're ready to commit.
Typical day rate
$400–$1600 a day, averaging $820 — see the Marketing Manager rate guide

How Cemoh compares to a traditional marketing recruitment agency
Same goal — the right marketer in your business. A very different way of getting there.
| Comparison area | Cemoh | Traditional agency |
|---|---|---|
| Choice of talent | Australia's largest pool of vetted marketers — 779+ to choose from | Limited to whoever they can source for the brief |
| Speed | Curated shortlist within 48 hours | Weeks of searching, advertising and screening |
| Ways to engage | Freelance, part-time or permanent — switch as needs change | Usually permanent placements only |
| Who does the vetting | Senior marketers — we vet on craft, not keywords | Generalist recruiters screening résumés |
| Marketing expertise | Run by marketers who know what good looks like | Recruiters, not marketers |
| Commitment | No lock-in — scale up or down whenever you need | Large upfront placement fee for a fixed, permanent hire |
Frequently asked questions about marketing manager recruitment
Answers to common questions about hiring marketing managers through Cemoh.
Should I hire a generalist marketing manager or a specialist?
If this is your first or only marketing hire, almost always a generalist — someone who can cover strategy, content, campaigns and reporting at a competent level, then bring in specialists for the gaps. We'll tell you honestly if your brief actually describes two roles, because mis-scoping this hire is the most common reason it fails.
How does Cemoh vet its marketing managers?
We look at the work, not the résumé. Vetting covers real campaign results, references from businesses they've run marketing for, and a working session that tests how they'd plan and prioritise with a realistic budget. Only candidates who pass all three make it into the network.
What size business does a part-time marketing manager suit?
Typically businesses between roughly five and fifty staff — big enough that marketing can't be the founder's side job anymore, but not yet generating enough work for a full-time hire. Two to three days a week of a strong marketing manager covers most businesses at that stage comfortably.
How much does it cost to hire a marketing manager?
Freelance marketing managers on Cemoh typically charge between $400 and $1,600 a day, averaging around $820 — see our Marketing Manager rate guide for the live figures. For permanent placements, our recruitment fee generally starts at around 15% of the candidate's first-year salary.
