About You
We’re a small team and so cultural fit is very important for both you and us. We’re looking for these qualities:

• Smart (you have good judgement and you’re able to effectively apply previously acquired knowledge to new situations)
• Brave, bold, and honest (you can comfortably and respectfully voice counter-opinions)
• Determined (you want the best for yourself, the wider team, and the company)
• Proactive (in this role you won’t be told what to do and when… you’ll be the one driving projects)
• Commercially minded & business savvy (you find the idea of running a team and business interesting, or have experience running a small business or project on the side)
• Enjoy wearing many ‘hats’ (you like variety; doing the same thing everyday bores you. No two days are the same)
• Experience in a small company (understand and enjoy the fact that you’ll often be doing work that doesn’t fit within your official job description and you’ll be comfortable working outside of it)
• Strong copywriting skills (you know how to write a compelling piece of content whether that’s ads, emails, newsletters, white papers, or books and you can mentor juniors to get them to the same level, or support junior managers to do the same)
• Comprehensive marketing experience (you have broad experience but with a specialist area of knowledge e.g Paid Social, Google Ads)
• Motivational (you know what it takes to keep your team happy and fulfilled, whilst meeting business objectives)
• Humble (you’re a team player and will do what it takes to see the business and the team thrive)

About Us
Our CEO sits at the top of the company and is responsible for its long term growth and objectives. The senior marketing manager role sits directly underneath to manage the day-to-day running of the business (ensuring all work is delivered on time and to a high standard). The senior marketing manager works closely with the brand manager and together these three roles form the Senior Leadership Team.

We’re a close knit team that spends more time talking to each other than emailing. We work together and rely on each other a lot. We celebrate success and share failure/frustration as one—trust within the team is key.

There’s no office politics, no pointless meetings, and we keep boring work to a minimum.
