If you're ambitious, full of ideas and excited by the opportunity to help shape one of the UK's most respected independent music brands, we'd love to hear from you.

- Leading the marketing and promotion of Jazz Cafe's live music programme.
- Planning and delivering multi-channel campaigns that drive ticket sales.
- Managing paid social campaigns through Meta Business Manager.
- Creating compelling copy across email, social media, web and advertising.
- Working closely with promoters, artists and management teams.
- Briefing photographers, videographers and designers to produce outstanding creative.
- Analysing campaign performance and continually improving results.
- Keeping a close eye on music, culture and audience trends to ensure our marketing stays fresh and relevant.
