Overview
As Marketing Executive, you will play a pivotal role in driving customer acquisition, conversion, and engagement across both national and local initiatives.
This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated marketeer to gain experience in a B2C brand with both an on and offline presence.
You will combine creative thinking with hands on execution to deliver impactful campaigns.
This role requires creativity, collaboration, and a passion for enhancing the customer experience.
There is scope to develop your skills and progress within a supportive and passionate marketing team.
This role is part of our 2 year graduate programme, during which you will have exposure to mentoring, leadership training and support to achieve your full potential and develop into future leadership roles.

In-person interviews are scheduled to take place on 10th and 11th August in Trowbridge.
