Marketing Assistant – 3 Month Fixed-Term Contract
Start your career in Brand Marketing
Looking for your first opportunity in brand marketing? Want to find out what working in a commercial marketing team is really like?
This 3-month fixed-term Marketing Assistant role is a chance to gain hands-on experience working with well-known consumer brands and get involved in real projects from day one.
You’ll work alongside an experienced Brand Marketing team and gain exposure to how ideas move from consumer insight through to product, packaging, campaign, and launch.
The role
No two days will be the same. You could be supporting a new product launch, reviewing competitor activity, helping develop packaging, supporting a marketing campaign, or pulling together market and consumer insights to help the team make decisions.
You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to projects across:
- Brand & marketing campaigns – supporting campaign briefs, marketing materials, creative reviews, and agency activity.
- Product innovation & launches – supporting new product and packaging projects and working with teams across R&D, Design, Sales, Supply Chain, and Consumer Insights.
- Consumer & market insights – researching consumers, shoppers, competitors, and market trends and helping turn information into useful insights.
- Project management – taking ownership of tasks and projects, managing deadlines, coordinating stakeholders, and helping get projects over the line.
- Day-to-day marketing – supporting presentations, samples, project trackers, and other activity that keeps a commercial marketing team moving.
