Working hours are 40 hours a week, office working schedule.
We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes digital, with the creative skills to bring ideas to life, both in words and visuals. Whilst your primary focus will be on growing our social, web and email channels, you’ll need to be equally adept at creating impactful and relevant content that sparks conversation, drives engagement and helps grow both our brand and online community.
Day-to-day you’ll be creating, optimising, distributing and analysing content. That might be ghost-writing a thought-leadership article for LinkedIn, drafting a technical blog, which once uploaded to our website, is repurposed into a tech tip series for Facebook, shooting a quick BTS reel or creating a before and after carousel. Whatever the format, it will be carefully crafted to ensure the content is aligned with our brand identity and the needs of our audience.
Of course, as a team of two, you won’t be afraid to get stuck in elsewhere. So, a can-do attitude and a willingness to support wider group marketing activities are a must.
