Marketing & Business Development Executive

If you're a marketer who enjoys having the freedom to take an idea, improve it and actually run with it, this could be a really interesting next move.

We're recruiting on behalf of a rapidly growing boutique consultancy operating within the healthcare and life sciences space. It's a highly respected, ambitious business with an exceptionally personable team and some exciting growth plans ahead.

They're now looking for a Marketing & Business Development Executive to work closely with their Head of Business Development and take real ownership of the day-to-day marketing activity across the business.

They're now looking for a Marketing & Business Development Executive to work closely with their Head of Business Development and take real ownership of the day-to-day marketing activity across the business.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be handed a list of tasks to complete.

There are already lots of great ideas and initiatives underway, from a newly launched website and content activity through to events and wider BD plans - and they want someone who can come in, bring their own marketing experience and help shape what happens next.

You'll have a varied remit, including:

• Taking ownership of the content calendar and helping shape, draft and schedule engaging Linked In content

• Managing and developing content across the company's recently launched website

• Bringing fresh ideas to the marketing programme and acting as a genuine sounding board to the Head of BD

• Coordinating marketing activity across different teams and keeping plans moving

• Tracking relevant industry conferences and identifying opportunities for the business

• Supporting the planning and delivery of the company's own events and round tables

• Developing marketing materials, case studies, presentations and other branded content

• Tracking marketing performance and using the data to understand what is working

• Supporting CRM activity, reporting and wider business development initiatives

• Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business

There's also plenty of opportunity for the role to develop further into business development over time.

Personality is a big part of this hire.

You'll be joining a collaborative, down-to-earth team, so we're looking for someone who is personable, confident, proactive and comfortable sharing their own ideas.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Around 2-3+ years' marketing experience

• Strong content and written communication skills

• Experience managing social media/content calendars and ideally website content

• The confidence to take something that has already been started, improve it and run with it

• Strong organisation skills and the ability to juggle several different projects

• An interest in the commercial/BD side of marketing

• Confidence working with senior stakeholders

Experience with in consulting, professional services, healthcare or life sciences would be particularly useful.

Experience with events, CRM systems, Linked In analytics, Google Analytics, Canva or PowerPoint would also be beneficial.

The biggest opportunity here is growth and ownership.

You'll be joining a business that is expanding, working directly with its Head of Business Development and getting exposure to far more than one small area of marketing.

Rather than inheriting a role, you'll have the opportunity to help shape it.

There's a new website to develop, content to build on, events to support, ideas to test and plenty of scope to make the role your own.

The team itself is another major selling point, friendly, supportive, highly personable and genuinely collaborative.

Working pattern: Hybrid, typically Tuesday-Thursday in the office
