About Us
Living in a Bubble (LIAB) is a fast-growing e-commerce brand specializing in premium campervan accessories. We operate in Australia and the United States across our DTC Shopify channels, serving a global community of van-lifers and adventurers with products that blend innovation, durability, and thoughtful design.
We are scaling fast, and the Marketing Manager role is critical to our next stage of growth.
The Role
We are hiring a hands-on, operational Marketing Manager to own and grow our DTC business across our Australian and US Shopify stores. This is a player-coach role — you will lead a small marketing team of four specialists while remaining deeply hands-on in strategy, diagnosis, creative briefing, reporting, and trading reviews. You will not run platform-level campaign builds (your media buyer owns that), but you must be fluent enough in the data and execution to coach, review, and step in when needed.
This role reports directly to Fernando, Co-founder of LIAB.
The Team You Will Manage
You will lead a remote team of four marketing specialists, all based in the Philippines:
- Media Buyer — owns paid media execution across Meta, Google, and TikTok
- Content Creator — owns short-form content production, UGC, and creative output
- Marketing Coordinator — owns campaign coordination, email/SMS execution, and project management
- A fourth specialist is being hired alongside this role to round out the team
You will work closely with operations, logistics, and product teams across the broader business.
