As a Marketing Assistant, you’ll need to be highly organised, detail-driven, and comfortable managing multiple tasks at pace. You should bring 2–5 years of hands-on experience in a similar role, with a strong grasp of tools, channels, and day-to-day delivery. You’re naturally curious about emerging tools, especially AI, and can show how you already use it to work smarter and faster.
Marketing Managers should be confident working independently while taking strategic direction from a CMO. You’ll need excellent project management skills, the ability to juggle multiple workstreams, and the experience to turn strategy into actionable plans across all channels. You should be able to manage team members, clearly brief external suppliers, and demonstrate a strong track record of making things happen. A practical understanding of AI and how it supports smarter marketing execution is essential, we’re looking for people already using it in their everyday work.
CMOs should be proven marketing leaders with a strong commercial track record. You’ll be comfortable working at board level, shaping strategy, and aligning marketing with wider business goals.
