Marketing Assistant

Hello there. Thanks for taking some time to read this advert. Please read it all

If it is for you then please get on and apply. We are waiting for you

We're really proud that one of our team members has done so well that they have secured a high-flying role at a different organisation. We see this as a success because we trained them and nurtured them But it does mean we need their successor. Is that you?

Are you looking to continue your commercial career in marketing? Already working in marketing but need an employer who is flexible and well, not an arse? Then look no further.

We are The Marketing Junction, an agile marketing agency that works solely with businesses in the recruitment industry (have a google and check us on LinkedIn). We've been going for about 8 years and have some great clients.

So could you be the next team member?

For us it is more about you than the skills you can bring (although these are still important). Whislt we want you to work hard, we also want you to have fun and enjoy what you do. But your character is important.

We are a remote business and operate a 'work whenever, wherever' approach. Most the team find it easier to do normal office hours, but some flex it up. At times we have people go travelling across the americas or europe. As long as you can service your clients, you choose how best to work. It means your holiday is proper holiday and not taken up unnecessarily.

We do tend to meet up twice a year as a team, and very occasionally we might ask you to visit a client. All of this is fully paid. You have plenty of notice, and if it would cause you issues, then we will find an alternative.

The role is either full time or we could look at a part-time role of about 20-25 hours.

It's a grown-up environment that is built on trust.

But we need to be realistic. There are some things this job won't give you. If you are looking for a social life from work, then this isn't the role for you. If you want to come in and mess about with pretty pictures, hide behind the water cooler and not be accountable for results, this also isn't for you. If you want to be trained on everything and spoonfed - it's also not for you (you'll be supported, but we will want you to use your own initiative)

We also commit that we will not promote over your head. If you come in, do a great job and commit to us, we will commit to you.

You'll have loads of support. Our senior team are really experienced. We also have designers, copywriters and technical SEO specilists. It means you can play to your strenghts.

So what does the job involve?
- Being an account manager and first point of call for clients
- Creating marketing collateral (brochures and white papers etc)
- Reporting on the monthly activity
- Creating and posting social content
- Creating and administering eshots
- Creating and administering automations
- Choosing topics for blogs
- Co-ordinating with designers and copywriters
- Making powerpoints
- Editing websites
- Other stuff that comes along, some great, other parts not so - but we all have these as part of any job

Whatever your background there are a few non-negotiables:

- Strong written English - clients will not tolerate spelling errors
- Attention to detail
- Knowledge of LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram + Twitter
- Ability to use MS Office products
- Proficient in Canva
- Willing to commit long term to The Marketing Junction (we are not looking for a one-hit wonder - here today gone tomorrow)
- Not a dick - you need to be a team player - happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.

That's it.

You don't need a marketing degree. You don't need to have worked for a London agency.

We will ask to see at least 1 years commercial work expereince in a marketing role. If it were in recruitment then great, but above all it has to be in a standalone marketing role.

The process is simple. It's as much about us as it is you. After all you need to know if you can work with us:

- Apply
- Have an informal conversation / Undertake a task (may be the other way around)
- Meet the team
- Final confirmation conversation and job offer

So......

Please tell us your favourite colour in your cover letter and we will then know you are not one of them

We look forward to welcoming you to the team. We're a pretty great bunch.
