You’ll have external agency and specialist support available, so we are not expecting one person to be a designer, technical web developer, SEO specialist and data analyst all at once. We are looking for someone who understands enough across the marketing mix to coordinate activity confidently, ask good questions, spot problems and keep things moving.

What we’re looking for

You’ll probably have around two or more years of practical marketing experience, ideally gained in a role where you’ve had exposure to several different areas rather than specialising very narrowly.

You’ll be:

• Confident creating organic social content and comfortable appearing or working on camera
• Familiar with current social media platforms, content styles and trends
• Digitally confident and comfortable learning new systems
• Experienced in email marketing
• A strong written communicator with excellent proofing skills and attention to detail
• Highly organised and able to plan, prioritise and manage multiple deadlines
• Able to distinguish a genuine priority from a distraction
• Comfortable working in an environment where plans sometimes need to adapt quickly
• Proactive, practical and happy to take ownership rather than waiting to be told every next step
• Personable and confident building relationships with colleagues, agencies, suppliers and external partners
• Commercially curious and interested in understanding whether marketing activity is actually working

Experience with CRM systems, website content management, campaign or event management, SEO, paid media or reporting and analytics would all be useful, but we don’t expect you to arrive knowing everything. Automotive experience would be welcome, but it is not essential. We are more interested in finding someone with the right marketing foundations, energy and attitude who can learn our industry.

Why this role?

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who has built a solid marketing foundation and is ready for more responsibility without losing the hands-on work they enjoy.

You’ll be joining at a point where the business is actively investing in how it operates and how responsibilities are structured. That means you will have an opportunity to help shape the way marketing works rather than simply inherit a fixed job that has looked the same for years.

You’ll work closely with senior people in the business, have access to manufacturer marketing teams and external specialists, and gain exposure across digital marketing, CRM, customer data, campaigns, retail, events and commercial performance.

Most importantly, there is a clear intention for this role to develop.

The environment

Automotive retail moves quickly, so this role will suit someone who enjoys having a plan but doesn’t fall apart when the plan changes.

You’ll be trusted to manage your workload, make sensible decisions about priorities and ask for support when something genuinely needs escalating.

If you enjoy autonomy, clear direction and the satisfaction of seeing something move from idea to execution, you should enjoy this role.

Location and working pattern

This is a full-time, site-based position, primarily based in Telford, with travel to our Shrewsbury site when required.

Because the role is closely connected to our vehicles, people, customers and day-to-day business activity, it is not a hybrid position.

Salary is expected to be in the region of £30,000–£35,000, depending on experience and capability.

Appointment is subject to satisfactory references and evidence of the right to work in the UK.

Interested?

If you’re looking for the next step after gaining broad marketing experience and want the chance to take genuine ownership within a growing, established family business, we’d love to hear from you.
