We're recruiting on behalf of a market-leading business with over 40 years of success that's entering an exciting new phase of international growth. Following the promotion of their current Digital Marketing Manager into a more strategic global role, they're now looking for an ambitious successor who wants to develop alongside the business. This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain existing campaigns. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the company's digital presence across the US, working directly alongside an experienced marketing leader who spends significant time in America building the brand, attending major industry events and driving expansion. Whilst international marketing experience would be beneficial, it's certainly not essential. They're much more interested in hiring someone with the drive, curiosity and ambition to learn. If you've got around two years' digital marketing experience and are looking for the opportunity to accelerate your career, this could be the perfect next step. If you're looking for a business that genuinely invests in people and offers international exposure from day one, we'd love to hear from you. THE ROLE: Support the delivery of digital marketing campaigns across the UK and North American markets. Assist with the launch and ongoing growth of the company's US marketing strategy. Manage digital campaigns across multiple online channels. Create engaging marketing content for websites, email campaigns and social media. Work closely with senior stakeholders to develop campaign ideas and measure performance. Analyse campaign results using digital analytics and reporting tools. Support SEO, PPC and wider digital marketing activity. Assist with marketing for industry events and exhibitions across North America. Collaborate with external agencies where required. Help identify new opportunities to improve digital performance and generate leads. THE PERSON: Around 2+ years' experience within a Digital Marketing Executive, Digital Marketing Specialist, Digital Marketing Coordinator or similar role. Experience across a broad digital marketing mix. Understanding of digital channels including email marketing, content, SEO, social media and paid activity. Strong communication and organisational skills. Analytical mindset with an interest in campaign performance. Enthusiastic, ambitious and keen to develop within an international business. Experience within HR, payroll, employee benefits or SaaS would be advantageous but is by no means essential. THE BENEFITS: Up to 45,000 depending on experience. Hybrid working (1 day per week in the office). 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Life Assurance. Private Healthcare and Dental schemes available. Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme. Excellent long-term career progression. Opportunity to work on international marketing campaigns. Exposure to the North American market and regular collaboration with global colleagues.

Following the promotion of their current Digital Marketing Manager into a more strategic global role, they're now looking for an ambitious successor who wants to develop alongside the business. This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain existing campaigns. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the company's digital presence across the US, working directly alongside an experienced marketing leader who spends significant time in America building the brand, attending major industry events and driving expansion. Whilst international marketing experience would be beneficial, it's certainly not essential. They're much more interested in hiring someone with the drive, curiosity and ambition to learn. If you've got around two years' digital marketing experience and are looking for the opportunity to accelerate your career, this could be the perfect next step. If you're looking for a business that genuinely invests in people and offers international exposure from day one, we'd love to hear from you. THE ROLE: Support the delivery of digital marketing campaigns across the UK and North American markets. Assist with the launch and ongoing growth of the company's US marketing strategy. Manage digital campaigns across multiple online channels. Create engaging marketing content for websites, email campaigns and social media. Work closely with senior stakeholders to develop campaign ideas and measure performance. Analyse campaign results using digital analytics and reporting tools. Support SEO, PPC and wider digital marketing activity. Assist with marketing for industry events and exhibitions across North America. Collaborate with external agencies where required. Help identify new opportunities to improve digital performance and generate leads. THE PERSON: Around 2+ years' experience within a Digital Marketing Executive, Digital Marketing Specialist, Digital Marketing Coordinator or similar role. Experience across a broad digital marketing mix. Understanding of digital channels including email marketing, content, SEO, social media and paid activity. Strong communication and organisational skills. Analytical mindset with an interest in campaign performance. Enthusiastic, ambitious and keen to develop within an international business. Experience within HR, payroll, employee benefits or SaaS would be advantageous but is by no means essential. THE BENEFITS: Up to 45,000 depending on experience. Hybrid working (1 day per week in the office). 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Life Assurance. Private Healthcare and Dental schemes available. Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme. Excellent long-term career progression. Opportunity to work on international marketing campaigns. Exposure to the North American market and regular collaboration with global colleagues.
