Hayley Hunkin
@hayleyhunkin
I am an experienced communications professional, writer and marketing manager focused on content, training and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a communications professional with decades of experience in writing, editing, marketing and training across corporate and small-business environments. I combine practical marketing know‑how with a strong background in journalism and content creation.
As a marketing manager I delivered measurable growth — a direct campaign produced a 73% return rate and Asset Performance saw a 40% sales increase during my tenure, while Caldis Cook Group expanded significantly under my marketing leadership.
I have led training and compliance functions, prepared internal manuals and presentations, coordinated e‑learning and assessed to AQTF/Certificate IV standards. I routinely produce SEO content, newsletters, branding materials and corporate communications documentation.
I am currently completing a Master’s in Writing and Literature and hold a Graduate Certificate in Writing and Literature. I seek roles that let me apply content, training and compliance expertise to drive measurable outcomes and support organisational communication strategies.
