Marketing Executive

Hi there

If you’re an experienced Marketing Executive or Assistant looking for your next role, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll join the Client Success team at a sector-leading agency in the heart of Nottingham, working closely with financial advisers and planners.

If the following describes you, we want to hear from you:

· You’re passionate about marketing

· You’re confident engaging with clients on the phone and video calls

· You’ll be highly organised and capable of managing multiple projects at the same time

· You’ve got a great eye for detail and understand that mistakes destroy client confidence

· In your current role, you’ll have built up a broad range of experience in digital marketing skills

· You’re happy to work 2-3 days a week from our office in the very heart of Nottingham’s Creative Quarter

· You’ve got a couple of years’ experience in an agency or similar environment, and now’s the time to take on more responsibility and showcase your skills

Note: We don’t mean to be boring, but we will only consider applications that provide a CV and a covering letter. If you provide samples of your work, that’s even better.

A fast-growing, busy and social team

We’re an award-winning marketing agency that specialises in serving the marketing needs of financial advisers and planners, as well as networks, investment houses and product providers. In fact, based on our Google reviews, we’re the highest-rated agency in the financial services sector.

Niche, isn’t it? That’s a great thing, because it means we inherently know whom we work with and their typical needs.

We’ve grown rapidly since our head honcho Phil Bray started the business in 2017, and to continue that growth, we need to add more talent to the team. If you’re an experienced Marketing Executive or Assistant, we want to hear from you.

On any given day, you will be:

· Analysing our clients’ marketing KPIs

· Writing copy for a variety of platforms

· Promoting our clients’ webinars and events

· Liaising with our clients by email, phone and video calls

· Leading ongoing marketing calls with the clients you are responsible for

· Managing project deadlines and delivery across a multi-disciplinary team

· Helping to deliver the marketing strategies we’ve developed for our clients

· Helping our clients to develop social proof through surveys and online reviews

In the longer term, we’d expect you to have the passion and desire to create and drive the strategies yourself.

Still interested?

Excellent.

We’re looking for someone with an enthusiastic attitude and a passion for marketing.

You will be expected to deliver projects on time and to the highest quality. We want someone who isn’t afraid of being held to high standards.

As Steve Jobs said: “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

Now you know how we got our name!

If you’re the person we’re looking for, we need you to be able to demonstrate:

· Strong listening skills

· An ability to analyse data

· A keen eye for detail and consistency

· Proficiency in writing engaging content

· The ability to work independently and flexibly

· A willingness to learn about the financial services sector

· A basic grounding in marketing which you’ve learnt during your current role

· A strategic mindset, but also one that knows effective implementation is the key to success

· Fantastic organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, often to strict deadlines

· That you can offer and accept constructive feedback to constantly improve the quality of your work.

A great salary and benefits

If you’re the right person, you will benefit from:

· A full-time position

· Flexible working hours

· Company events and socials

· The salary your talents deserve

· A generous holiday entitlement

· A health cash plan and additional discounts and perks

· A flexible office-based/from home working arrangement

· Education reimbursement and opportunities for professional growth

· A pension scheme from day one (as you would expect, we believe in retirement planning!)

· Access to our retained therapists (we know how important it is that we all look after our mental health).
