However, you will be invited into those processes, with opportunities to observe, contribute, and grow. We are always open to ideas that improve our work, and there is definitely scope for development in this area of marketing over time.
The core of this role is to co-ordinate, connect, and communicate - ensuring that everything runs smoothly, projects are delivered on time, and the many moving parts of the marketing department stay aligned.
This role doesn’t require deep experience in marketing execution. At its heart, it’s a project management and stakeholder coordination position. However, it’s ideal for someone with an interest in marketing and communications who wants to gain exposure and experience across a full marketing ecosystem - including brand, paid media, video, SEO, digital infrastructure, and more - in a fast-paced, mission- and results-driven environment.

- Maintain clarity on project timelines, tasks, ownerships, and deadlines
- Manage platforms such as Asana, Hootsuite, and shared file systems to monitor workflow and progress.
Internal Communication & Stakeholder Liaison
- Gather marketing-related needs from other departments across the organisation
- Clarify briefs, manage expectations, and feed this information to relevant creatives or external vendors
- Ensure alignment between campaign objectives and deliverables
- Flag blockers or conflicts early and work with senior leadership to resolve them.
Marketing Support (Fluency, Not Ownership)
- Engage with marketing tools and channels (e.g. Hootsuite, social platforms, content schedules), not as the creator, but as a coordinator
- Analyse and review creative outputs (e.g. social posts, videos, copy) for basic accuracy, alignment, and tone
- Provide constructive feedback or flag potential issues to relevant team members
- Respond to or escalate social media engagement (e.g. DMs, comment moderation) when needed.
Research & Trend Monitoring
- Conduct market research to identify trends, opportunities, or gaps within the sector
- Feed relevant insight to the Senior Marketing Officer and Director to help shape campaign direction
- Monitor sector activity and competitor positioning.
