💼 Digital Marketing Executive

✍️ 6-month FTC with desire to turn full-time

💷 Up to £25k p/a

📍 Almost completely remote working (with monthly meetings in Essex/client visits)

About You

• You'll love sport. Not just that, you'll love all sport. Yes football & cricket are great - but we want to work across the full spectrum so get ready to deal with it all.
• You'll love doing things. Going to events, travelling - you've got to love what you sell.
• Social media is life. You love scrolling TikTok, Instagram, Facebook - even X - and you have an eye for great content.
• In particular, TikTok content creation is something you love doing. Jumping on trends is second nature to you.
• We'd love you to have 1-2 years of marketing experience. However, it's not compulsory for this to have been in sport or leisure - it is an opportunity for someone who loves social media & content to break into the industry.
• You do need energy, enthusiasm and great ideas. Creativity is the name of the game at Path Sport.
• Just to emphasise the previous point - creativity & big ideas are always welcome.
• You'll be able to shoot content on your phone & edit it using the apps and/or Canva.
• And it would be great if you're a confident copywriter - able to script your own social captions in the relevant brand voice, and maybe even try your hand at longer form written content too.
• Resourcefulness is key for any marketing role - often you'll need to create something out of nothing.
• You'll need to be organised, I won't lie - you'll be controlling around 10-15 social media accounts (using Hootsuite), often reacting to events at all times of day. Plus working with an MD who comes up with ideas all the time. If this sounds fun, then this really could be the role for you.
• You probably live within commuting distance of Stansted Airport (30mins from Liverpool Street) - more on that later.

About The Role

Internal

• You'll be leading & managing our Path Sport LinkedIn and Instagram.
• It will be on you to leverage any/all content we have to support the Managing Director in getting more clients through the door.
• You'll be the brand guardian - creating and then implementing the Path Sport Brand Bible.
• You'll have ownership of the Path Sport website.
• This is a fully remote role. We'll meet 1-2 times a month in Essex, and you'll need to be able to commute to client visits where necessary. And there will be opportunities to attend events through work. But otherwise, work from wherever! The long term vision for the business is our own office space near Stansted Airport so that's one to keep in mind when applying.

Clients

• A huge part of being an agency is client management - you'll support the MD in delivering to their expectations.
• You'll be managing all our clients' social media channels, creating content & submitting for approval in advance.
• You'll be writing social media captions, editing photos, cutting together videos.
• You'll be working on client websites - don't worry, training will be given.
• You'll be able to flex your creative muscles during rebrand projects & idea brainstorms.

About Path

Founded in December 2023, it's been a fantastic first 2.5 years. Our founder specialises (alongside Alan Partridge-isms and The Office UK quotes) in sports marketing, having done it for 12 years' for the likes of The Jockey Club, Badminton England, Bowls England & Essex Cricket and on events like the Commonwealth Games, Rugby World Cup and Paris 2024.

I'm not a huge one for 'free breakfasts' and that sort of lazy staff culture. What I can offer is fast progression, exposure to loads of different businesses and the opportunity to work remotely and flexibly to suit your lifestyle.

Although having said that, I will always provide coffee and food at any meetings we have.

About the process

• Hit 'Easy Apply'
• If you seem a good fit, we'll reach out and we'll do a Zoom call.
• If that goes well, you'll be set a task (a v. short one and on a sport/tourism challenge unrelated to any of our current clients so you know we're not stealing your work!)
• We'll meet properly and you can present the task back to us.
• Then you'll be offered the role!
