Digital Marketing Executive

We are recruiting a Digital Marketing Executive to join our Marketing and Business Development department on a permanent basis.

Macfarlanes is a pre-eminent law firm that serves a global client base in Private Capital, Private Wealth, M&A and Disputes. Personal connection, an entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to excellence are at the heart of our firm. These values drive our ability to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.

We are big enough to undertake the most complex and demanding mandates yet small enough to know each other well and to be agile, adapting to the needs of our clients. We seek to strengthen the firm by recruiting talented people from all backgrounds who want to build long-lasting and impactful careers with us. Our culture is challenging and supportive, creating an environment where individuals can thrive.

Joining Macfarlanes means being part of a collaborative, approachable team who want you to succeed. You’ll be encouraged to get involved and recognised for your contribution.

We take your development seriously. Our learning and development programmes are second to none and are designed to help you strengthen your skills.

Above all, you’ll be part of a firm where we all work together as part of a cohesive and supportive team, value your efforts and help you to thrive.

You will be part of the Digital team within the wider marketing and business development department, working closely with the Digital Marketing Manager and the Senior Digital Marketing Executive. Day to day you will collaborate with colleagues across the firm – including fee-earners and business services teams – bringing the firm’s campaigns and thought leadership to life across our digital channels.

You’ll be trusted to work with genuine autonomy: managing your own workload, catching issues before they become problems, and applying good judgement on messaging, accuracy and tone. You’ll bring a methodical, well‑organised approach and a sharp eye for detail across everything you deliver.

During the first six months of employment, you may be required to attend the office four days per week to support onboarding, training and collaboration. Your line manager may adjust this requirement based on your progress and business needs.
