We’re looking for a super-organised, proactive individual to join our team. In this exciting new role, you’ll get to expand your skills and knowledge in an array of marketing streams including event management, copywriting, research, and email marketing as well as measurement and reporting and manaAging budgets.  

As part of the commerce marketing team, you’ll be working with the sales representatives and account teams managing large brands such as Google, Apple, ASOS, Tesco and Morrisons. In this role, you’ll look to implement and drive strategies to retain and grow our impressive client base. 

Day to day your responsibilities will include 

• Preparing creative briefs: Producing full briefs for the creative studio to enable them to produce a range of work. This could include video content, email marketing or collateral for events. 

• Running email campaigns: You’ll be sourcing the content, writing the email copy and working with the teams that design, build and send the emails to ensure email are sent out on time. 

• Producing content: This could be localising existing white papers or reports from the US or creating specific content for the UK and EMEA. Content could include reports, case studies or blogs. You’ll need excellent research skills and be able to work with the wider account team to obtain relevant information. 

• Data analysis: Review data from feedback surveys, email campaigns, or consumer research to produce useful insights. You should be confident with using excel and be able to produce simple functionality such as a VLOOKUP to compare and assess data.

• Can work independently, managing your own projects and driving work forward. 

Where you’ll be
