Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business

There's also plenty of opportunity for the role to develop further into business development over time. Who are we looking for? Personality is a big part of this hire. You'll be joining a collaborative, down-to-earth team, so we're looking for someone who is personable, confident, proactive and comfortable sharing their own ideas.

Strong content and written communication skills

Experience managing social media/content calendars and ideally website content

Experience within consulting, professional services, healthcare or life sciences would be particularly useful. Experience with events, CRM systems, LinkedIn analytics, Google Analytics, Canva or PowerPoint would also be beneficial. Why consider it? The biggest opportunity here is growth and ownership. You'll be joining a business that is expanding, working directly with its Head of Business Development and getting exposure to far more than one small area of marketing. Rather than inheriting a role, you'll have the opportunity to help shape it. There's a new website to develop, content to build on, events to support, ideas to test and plenty of scope to make the role your own. The team itself is another major selling point, friendly, supportive, highly personable and genuinely collaborative. Working pattern: Hybrid, typically Tuesday-Thursday in the office If you're looking for a marketing role where you can have genuine input, work with a great team and see the impact of what you're doing, I'd love to hear from you.
