More detail about the role
You will be an experienced, Senior Marcomms Manager with a passion for analysis, understanding a diverse audience, and creating compelling communications that deliver results. You will be equally comfortable working across partnerships and multiple stakeholder groups as you are independently under your own volition. There is plenty of autonomy in this role, but you will also be well supported by a wider network of friendly and experienced marketing and communications professionals. Experience of the NPD process from ideation to commercialisation would be an advantage.
The role also requires passion, enthusiasm, knowledge of net-zero targets, and the wider sustainability agenda including; biodiversity, changing models of care, active travel, and ethical procurement. The role will be a touchstone for non-technical stakeholders starting their sustainability journey.
Finally, in addition to analysis and planning, there is also a strong emphasis on delivery and you will need a 'hands-on' approach. You can expect to be writing web copy, press releases, social media, email marketing campaigns, and creating video or exhibition materials with our in-house designer, web manager, and press office. We think this makes the role even more appealing, and if you feel the same, then do please apply today.
Thank you for your interest, we look forward to meeting you soon.
