- Deliver marketing and communications activity, including service reports, digital marketing, website and social media content, directory and award submissions, and internal communications.
- Plan, coordinate and deliver events and campaigns (virtual, hybrid and in‑person), managing all aspects of event delivery from invitations and materials through to supplier liaison, reporting and follow‑up.
- Support thought leadership and PR activity, including producing digital content (videos, podcasts), working with external partners, being mindful of budgets and supplier costs for marketing activity.
Skills & Experience We’re Looking For:
- Experience in a business development or marketing role within a professional service or similarly regulated environment
- Experience supporting bids, proposals, client development activity or marketing campaigns
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office (particularly Word, PowerPoint and Excel) with the ability to produce well-presented documents, reports and presentations
- Experience of using CRM systems, maintaining accurate contact data and supporting data quality
- Strong written skills, with the ability to draft clear and engaging content for bids, proposals and client communications
- Ability to support the identification of opportunities and contribute ideas to support business development objectives
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to produce accurate, high-quality work under time pressure
- Ability to support the coordination of projects and tasks, ensuring activity is delivered on time and to a high standard
- Ideally qualified to degree level or equivalent (equivalent experience will be considered).
