About GPE Scientific
GPE Scientific equips chemistry and life science laboratories across the UK and Ireland. We supply specialist laboratory equipment, design new and expanding labs, and hand-blow custom scientific glassware in our own workshop.
For more than 60 years, we have built a strong reputation in specialist scientific lab supply. Our customers include universities, research institutes, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology businesses, healthcare organisations, and industrial laboratories. They come to us for credible advice, specialist products, and reliable support.
Our strength has always come from technical understanding, long-standing supplier relationships, and a practical knowledge of what laboratories need. As the business continues to grow, we want our digital presence to reflect that strength with greater visibility, clarity, performance, and commercial focus.
We are now looking for a Digital Marketing Manager to help improve how GPE Scientific is found, engaged with, and measured across digital channels.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a commercially minded Digital Marketing Manager who can take ownership of GPE’s digital marketing performance across website, search, email, automation, and reporting.
This role needs someone who can improve how customers find GPE online, how they move through the website, how campaigns are delivered through digital channels, and how marketing performance is measured. You will be expected to bring structure to digital activity, improve visibility for priority products and services, and help turn online engagement into clearer commercial opportunity.
Working closely with the Marketing Director, you will have clear strategic direction, senior support, and genuine ownership of a commercially important area of the business. We are looking for someone who is analytical, organised, and commercially aware, with the ability to improve digital systems, manage digital campaigns, and explain performance clearly to the wider business.
What you will own
You will be responsible for the performance, structure, and commercial effectiveness of GPE’s digital marketing activity.
- Website performance, structure, and ongoing improvement.
- SEO, organic search visibility, and priority-page performance.
- Paid search and digital advertising activity.
- Email marketing, newsletters, and digital campaign delivery.
- Social media scheduling, publishing, performance, and reporting, working within defined brand guidelines and commercial direction.
- Marketing automation, lead nurturing, and CRM-connected activity.
- Digital campaign execution, working from agreed campaign propositions and commercial direction.
- Website content implementation, product uploads, and digital asset coordination.
- Analytics, attribution, reporting, and performance insight.
- Conversion improvement across digital journeys and enquiry pathways.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
