We’re looking for an energetic, conscientious, adaptable and positive person with drive to work directly alongside our Marketing Executive across the marketing activity for multiple businesses, initiatives, investments, board positions and future opportunities. 

We need someone who thrives as a self-starter, takes direction, excels when working to deadlines, takes radical responsibility and is up for a challenge. 

You'll need to live an easy commute from Shrewsbury, consider yourself a digital native, a great communicator and someone who wants to contribute above your job role. 

You'll get the break you need to start your career, in-house training and support for the role, a salary and pension, holiday entitlement, connections in the industry and with regional thought leaders… and the opportunity to carve out your role going forward.

 

Environment

The studio is based in the town centre of Shrewsbury, one of the finest market towns in England. We provide an open, friendly and collaborative working environment in our large open-plan studio, where teammates solve challenges together, share knowledge, and present to each other on emerging trends in technology, software engineering and self-development.

Culture

Dress: We dress how we like in the studio - it’s important that we all feel comfortable while we work - and only brush up for meetings and if we have a client visiting.

Flexibility: Outside of lockdowns, we work together as a team in the studio most days. We’ve learnt to be flexible over lockdown, so don’t mind if you want to work from home occasionally.

Location: We’re a 5-minute walk from the centre of Shrewsbury, just across the river, by the Theatre and right next to Frankwell car park, which means you’ll always find it easy to get into work. A couple of our team members cycle, and there are also bike racks in the studio.

Our values

Our success starts and ends with our team. We aim to inspire our people and provide a connection to how what we do has a larger impact on our clients, their teams, and their communities.

We’re a growing, supportive and collaborative team, working together to build exciting and innovative projects. The great thing about joining a company like us is that there are lots of opportunities to learn, and directions for your career to grow, which will depend on your interests, where you excel and what you aspire to be.

Our core values guide and influence everything we do:

  • Comradery - We are in it together and have the good of the company, our clients and the wider community at heart;
  • Mastery - We aim to reach the highest standards, personally and professionally and share knowledge to create an environment of learning and growth;
  • Adventure - We push outside of our comfort zone with curiosity, explore what’s possible and enjoy the ride;
  • All-in - We are confident in the decisions we make, and committed to seeing through projects to a successful outcome.
