Instant is building the world’s first AI-powered marketing manager, allowing ecommerce brands to run their marketing on autopilot. We generate over 30% of a brands annualised revenue, and have quickly become a very critical piece in their growth stack. After raising $30M+ to date from Blackbird, Hummingbird, Hubspot, etc we are in an exciting hyper-growth phase, expanding the business by over $1M in new revenue every month. We have 4 products in market, entering and hiring in new global regions, raised $30M+ by top VC’s, and we want you to be a critical part of scaling this velocity even further!

This role supports the CEO and senior executives on key company initiatives. Special Projects are Instant’s general problem solvers, continuing to make Instant one of the fastest growing companies to exist. This person should be a master generalist and force multiplier, understanding business operations, able to execute across finance and legal projects, think strategically, as well as be a strong communicator and people leader, both internally and externally for Instant.

What you’ll do at Instant:

  • Work alongside the CEO to execute on key problems, opportunities and initiatives, at speed. You’re a force multiplier towards what matters most.
  • Identify and launch new growth/ revenue opportunities.
  • Lead and take full ownership of mission critical initiatives.
  • Solve difficult problems at speed, right across the business.
  • Entirely own any key operating responsibilities that have been delegated to you.
  • Bring clarity to the chaos, providing clear direction and motivation to the people you’re working with.

Why be on this team:

  • Instant solves the biggest problem for online retailers. We don’t focus on vanity metrics, and instead our products drive significant volumes of additional revenue for ecommerce brands by bringing their lost shoppers back to convert.
  • We’re an A-player team, with talent from some of the best companies around the globe. Revenue obsession and speed are our two biggest focuses as a company. Instant will most definitely be the fastest moving and most exciting company you’ll ever be apart of in your life.
  • We’ve arguably built one of the fastest growing startup companies ever seen in Australia. Today, signing over $1-2M+ of new revenue each and every month. We now have the exciting challenge of maintaining this momentum as we continue to scale.
  • We’re incredibly focused on our expansion into North America, with a fresh new 35 person office in New York. We’re rapidly expanding our team, operations, inbound marketing, enterprise sales, etc in region. If we can grow this quickly in AU, just imagine once we crack our growth model in the US over this coming year.
  • We recently raised $18M in Series A capital, led by Hummingbird Ventures. From first conversation to money in the bank in 10 days. This valued the business at over $100M in just over 2 years. You can read more about Hummingbird Ventures here. You can read more about the raise in the AFR here, or Smart Company here.
  • Velocity of revenue growth and speed of execution are the two biggest signals of product-market fit. Comparing Instant to other startups, our velocity is phenomenal. Max Meyer at Blackbird, the biggest venture capital firm in Australia and investor in Instant said recently “The team's combination of blistering speed and steadfast vision has seen them deliver a brand new product that customers love in less than 12 months. It’s one of the fastest-growing products we have seen at Blackbird".
  • We 7X’d the business last year - the chart below benchmarks Instant vs other companies that have gone onto become unicorns. Instant sticking our head out amongst the rest.

Instant, more than just a job:

  • Competitive Salary - We commit to paying globally competitive salaries to our incredible team
  • Equity in the company - Nobody is a renter. Everyone is an owner, having equity in the company so we can all benefit from our hard work and future success
  • Company Offsite - We always aim to go away at points across the year as a company to celebrate achievements, as well as dig deep together on company strategy, opportunities and the exciting future ahead
  • Leave per year - 20 days of PTO, 11 Federal Holidays and Instant also ensures the end of year shutdown (across Christmas and New Year) is a fully paid break
  • Health Insurance - 100% covered by Instant
  • A-Player Team - A-players want to work with A-players, and hence we take our team and talent very seriously. We work hard, stay focused on the things that matter, and celebrate the wins
  • Company Socials - We allocate an annual social budget towards regularly having fun, taking a break and getting to know each other a little more as a team! Previously we have done Axe Throwing, Bowling and even Surfing together… just to name a few
  • Tools - You’ll receive all new equipment including a MacBook Pro, monitor, and accessories
  • Flexible Home vs Office - Instant prioritises the value, creativity and energy of being together in person, based in our newly opened offices in Sydney or New York.
