Location: Australia (Hybrid /Flexible)
Engagement Type: Full time
Company: Snowden Optiro
Company description
Snowden Optiro is a mining advisory, consulting, training, and software business. We support mining companies and their investors in evaluating new mines, improving the performance of existing operations, and complying with regulatory requirements. Our work spans technical advisory services, professional training, and software solutions across the full mining value chain. Snowden Optiro is a business unit of Datamine.
The opportunity
As part of our continued growth globally, Snowden Optiro is seeking a capable and motivated Training & Marketing Manager to take ownership of two closely linked functions within the business.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys both thinking and doing. You will not be managing a large team. You will be directly responsible for delivering outcomes across marketing and training, working closely with senior consultants and business leaders across our global offices.
You will play a key role in how Snowden Optiro presents itself to the market and how our technical expertise is communicated, as well as managing and growing our professional training programme for the mining industry and related sectors.
Role description
As Training & Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for:
Marketing
* Developing and delivering clear, engaging marketing content aligned with the Snowden Optiro brand and technical positioning.
* Writing and editing content for proposals, capability statements, website updates, newsletters, and social media.
* Creating layouts and visuals using design tools such as Canva (or similar).
* Managing social media activity and identifying creative ways to promote technical expertise, services, and thought leadership.
* Working across both planning and execution, from campaign concepts through to delivery.
Training
* Managing Snowden Optiro's professional development and training programme.
* Building and coordinating a global training schedule across Australia, the UK, Africa, Canada, and LATAM.
* Working closely with consultants who deliver the courses to ensure content, timing, and resourcing are aligned.
* Liaising directly with clients, preparing proposals, and supporting commercial discussions related to training.
* Overseeing course logistics and ensuring training activities run smoothly and profitably.
* Managing the training income stream, with support from a part-time Training & Project Administrator.
The role offers flexibility in location and working arrangements. You will work autonomously but as part of a collaborative global team. Some interaction across time zones will be required.
We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience, flexible working arrangements, and the opportunity to work closely with senior technical professionals in a respected international consulting business.
Your skills and experience
To be successful in this role, you should have:
* Experience in a training coordination, marketing, communications, or professional services environment.
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities calmly and effectively.
* Excellent written English, with the ability to turn technical information into clear, useful messages.
* Strong Microsoft Office skills.
* Confidence using design tools such as Canva or similar platforms.
* A practical, hands-on approach, with comfort switching between strategic planning and detailed execution.
* Strong client-facing skills and a commercial mindset.
* The ability to work independently in a professional services environment.
Experience in the mining, engineering, or technical consulting sectors would be advantageous but is not essential.
