Are you a creative communicator excited by technology, innovation and storytelling? As a Digital Marketing Apprentice at the STFC Hartree Centre, you’ll help build and share engaging social media content, videos, and campaigns.

You’ll be joining a group of skilled professionals across the Impact, Communications, Business Engagement, and Events teams, all committed to sharing the stories and benefits of the Hartree Centre’s work in innovative digital technologies such as supercomputing, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Together, they make sure these stories reach businesses, organisations and partners who can apply them to support innovation and growth.

These teams coordinate and deliver diverse digital and traditional communications, manage social media channels, develop website content, produce publications and multimedia materials and capture evidence of the Hartree Centre’s influence.
