We’re looking for a hands‑on Marketing Executive to join our team at W R Davies Head Office in Shrewsbury.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with around 2+ years’ marketing experience who is ready to take on more responsibility and have genuine ownership of their work.

You’ll work across our dealerships and vehicle brands, delivering a varied mix of digital marketing, social media, CRM, campaigns, events and content.

• Creating engaging social media content, including video and photo content
• Updating website content, offers and Google Business Profiles
• Delivering manufacturer campaigns and local marketing activity
• Creating and coordinating email and SMS campaigns
• Supporting CRM and customer communications
• Assisting with Google and Meta paid media campaigns

• Briefing and managing external agencies, designers and suppliers
• Building marketing content and assets for W R Davies
• Monitoring campaign performance and customer response
• Working closely with Sales, Aftersales and manufacturer marketing teams

You’ll have support from internal team members, external agencies and specialists, so you won’t be expected to be an expert in every area of marketing.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in marketing, ideally with 2+ years’ practical experience
• Confident creating social content and comfortable working on camera
• Familiar with current social media platforms and trends

• Comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines
• Proactive, practical and willing to take ownership
• Confident working with colleagues, agencies and external partners
• Commercially minded and interested in understanding what makes marketing effective
• Comfortable learning new systems and technologies

Experience with CRM, website management, SEO, paid media, analytics or event marketing would be beneficial.

Automotive experience is welcome but not essential. We’re more interested in your marketing experience, creativity, attitude and ability to get things done.

W R Davies is a 100+ year‑old, family‑owned automotive group representing leading vehicle brands across Shropshire, Staffordshire and North Wales.

This is an opportunity to join a growing marketing function where you’ll have the chance to take ownership, work across a wide range of marketing channels and help shape how marketing is delivered across the business.

You’ll work closely with senior colleagues, manufacturer marketing teams and external specialists, giving you valuable exposure across digital marketing, CRM, content, campaigns, events and commercial performance.
