We're looking for confident and creative communicators with a sharp eye for detail – both written and verbal – and the ability to craft compelling messages across channels, particularly email, web and social. You will be adept working with various marketing tools and juggling multiple projects. You will also enjoy collaborating with teams, influencing and managing stakeholders to ensure smooth execution of plans that make a real impact.

To succeed in these roles, you will be experienced at project managing campaigns from start to finish. You'll have excellent organisation skills, strong audience-led copywriting and content creation skills. You’ll be an enthusiastic innovator, keen to apply a test, learn and optimise approach, with a passion for member engagement and professional development.

You’ll join a thriving, supportive and growing team of marketing professionals with responsibility for driving member acquisition, retention, engagement and value. Our team includes experts in digital marketing, portfolio management, and campaign delivery.
