PAX In-House Content Producer
Role: Content Producer
Location: Melbourne
Employment Type: Full Time | Part Time
Salary: $70–80k (pro-rata) + super
Reports to: Head of Marketing
Team: PAX — In-house
About the role
PAX works behind the scenes with hospitality businesses — training their teams, coaching their managers, fixing their operations, opening their venues. We've been doing it for years and almost none of it has ever been filmed.
We're hiring one person to change that. This role is about PAX's own presence: our channels, our podcast, our partners, and the stories behind the work we do.
Three days a week — and if that's your number, we mean three. If you freelance, keep freelancing; we've built the role around people who do, and we'll work with your other projects rather than against them. Prefer something fuller? There's room to spread the hours across our work with clients and make it a proper full-time gig — your call, not ours.
The split of what you’ll do
80% — content hustling
Plan and shoot short-form content across PAX and partner projects — behind-the-scenes, founder moments, events, workshops, community
Edit it yourself. Short-form video and statics, built for how people actually scroll.
Promote and support the podcast — cuts, clips, teasers, launch content, whatever gets people listening
Write captions and social copy in our voice, then schedule and publish
Get four or five pieces out of one shoot rather than one
Watch what lands and tell us what to make more of
20% — digital updates
Website updates, EDM builds, Canva template refreshes, and the general bits and pieces that keep our marketing looking sharp. Not glamorous. Genuinely useful.
Who sets the direction?
We do. Our leaders set the strategy and the plan — you own how it gets made, what gets shot and how it's cut.
If you've got ideas about what we should be making, we want to hear them and you'll have room to run with the good ones. But we're not asking you to build a content strategy from scratch, and you won't be judged on whether you can.
What you’ll bring
1 - 3 years producing social content somewhere real — in-house, agency, freelance, or a venue account you built yourself. Portfolio over years.
You shoot and edit it yourself. Phone-first is preferred here, not tolerated.
Instincts for the platform — hooks, pacing, captions, what's working now
Content that does a job. You can show us work that got someone to book, follow, listen or turn up.
Comfortable on location and around people — chefs mid-prep, owners, guests
You take direction well and run with it
Bonus: hospitality background · design skills (Canva, Adobe, Figma) · Squarespace, Mailchimp or landing pages · any reporting experience
Not needed: cinema camera craft, lighting rigs, colour grading. We bring specialists in for high-end work. This role lives on social
What you’ll get
Flexible working arrangements, flexible around shoots and WFH
The hospitality network. You'd be working with some of Melbourne's best operators — venues before they open, kitchens mid-service, people worth knowing. Plenty of that turns into work of your own.

Success looks like…
PAX's channels feel current, on-brand and worth following in their own right.
The podcast has content around it driving listens, not just an episode drop.
We're getting far more out of every shoot than we do now.
Measurable movement — engagement, listens, sign-ups, leads.
Why PAX?
Our mission is to enhance businesses and enrich community, and this role is where that second half comes to life. Alongside the work we do for clients and partners, PAX's own channels exist to share real, useful advice freely with anyone who needs it — whether or not they're in a position to work with us directly.
You'll be part of the team, with real input into what gets made, not a vendor waiting on a brief. You'll help build something that's genuinely PAX's own, get variety through client and partner projects, and see the tangible difference your content makes — for PAX, and for the businesses and community we work alongside.
How to apply?
Send your work. A reel, a grid, three links, a folder — anything that shows what you make. A few lines about yourself is plenty; no cover letter.
