Marketing Assistant

Start date:

Immediate. Candidates available to start immediately or at short notice are preferred.

Working pattern:
Monday-Friday, office-based

Reporting to:
Managing Director

G&E Partners is a specialist Executive Search business in Central London, and we're hiring our first dedicated Marketing Assistant.

That makes this an unusual entry-level role. You won't be joining an established team or following someone else's playbook. You'll take ownership of our brand across Linked In, Instagram and beyond, and see the results of your work straight away.

You don't need professional marketing experience. You will need a Marketing or related degree, confidence using the main content and design tools, and the drive to work things out for yourself.

You'll be responsible for how G&E Partners presents itself online to clients, candidates and future hires.

That means you'll be:

• Planning, creating and scheduling content for our Linked In company page
• Growing our Instagram presence through posts, Reels and Stories that show daily life, culture and events at G&E Partners
• Helping consultants build their personal brands on Linked In with headshots, banners, branded graphics and post ideas
• Designing social graphics, branded templates and documents in Canva
• Writing, formatting and posting job adverts across Linked In, Indeed and other job boards
• Researching the US Construction market to help produce market updates, salary insights and thought-leadership content
• Supporting graduate attraction, including attending university careers fairs with our Talent Acquisition team and creating careers content
• Capturing and promoting internal events, team milestones and company successes
• Keeping our website and online profiles up to date
• Running a content calendar and tracker so everything goes out accurately and on time
• Monitoring engagement and reporting monthly on what's working and what isn't
• Spotting trends and suggesting new ideas to grow our reach

We don't currently have anyone in marketing, so there won't be a senior marketer here to teach you the tools or show you how to do each task.

You'll report to our Managing Director, who will support you, set priorities and give you feedback. Day to day, though, you'll need to be self-sufficient. That means being comfortable taking a brief, working out the best way to deliver it and then getting it done.

You'll have a company phone and laptop, Canva Pro and full access to our business social accounts.

If that level of ownership early in your career sounds exciting rather than daunting, you'll probably enjoy it here.

• A degree in Marketing or a related field, such as Digital Marketing, Communications, Business with Marketing, Media, PR or Journalism
• Confident, hands-on experience with Canva
• Familiarity with Linked In and Instagram from a brand or business perspective, not just personal use
• Strong written English, with excellent spelling, grammar and attention to detail
• The ability to manage your own workload, prioritise and meet deadlines without close supervision
• A portfolio of your work (see below)
• Marketing experience from an internship, placement or university society
• Short-form video editing using Cap Cut or similar
• Experience scheduling content with Meta Business Suite or Buffer
• A basic understanding of social media analytics
• An interest in recruitment, employer branding or B2B marketing

Your portfolio is the most important part of your application. It doesn't have to be professional work. We're interested in examples such as:

• Social media content you've created, whether for a university society, a club, a small business or yourself
• Graphics or designs, especially…
