Job Description

Marketing Assistant

Location: Burton-on-Trent, Derbyshire (Fully Office-Based) Consultancy: Elevate Recruitment

Are you a proactive and creative marketing professional looking to step up into a fast-paced, global brand environment? Elevate Recruitment is proud to partner with a market-leading brand owner based in Burton, Derbyshire, to find a diligent and organized Marketing Assistant.

This is a brilliant "hands-on" role for someone who loves variety-ranging from digital content creation and social media management to physical product coordination and event planning.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Head of Marketing, you will be a vital part of the commercial team, ensuring the smooth delivery of the global marketing plan. This role is perfect for a detail-oriented individual who enjoys seeing a project through from the initial creative brief to final distribution.

Your Key Responsibilities
  • Social Media & Content: Own the social media calendar. You will be responsible for copywriting, scheduling, and publishing content, as well as tracking analytics to report on monthly performance.
  • Creative Support: Assist in the development of marketing materials, including packaging, brochures, and in-store POS (leaflets, posters, flyers).
  • Commercial Liaison: Support the sales team by preparing and dispatching product samples and marketing collateral to key accounts.
  • Budget & Admin: Manage essential department functions, including raising purchase orders, maintaining financial records, and general administrative coordination.
  • Events & Suppliers: Assist in the planning of trade shows and exhibitions while working closely with external designers and printers to ensure brand consistency.
What You Bring
  • Experience: A marketing qualification (or working towards one) and/or relevant experience in a fast-paced commercial environment.
  • Communication: Exceptional copywriting skills and the ability to adapt your style across different platforms and audiences.
  • Organization: A natural ability to manage multiple deadlines and projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details.
  • Technical Literacy: Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and experienced with social media scheduling tools.
  • Drive: A "can-do" attitude-you are just as comfortable analyzing data as you are handling physical products and preparing shipments for distribution.
The Details

This is a fully office-based role in Burton, offering the chance to work within a collaborative, high-energy team where your contributions are visible and valued every day.
