• Continuously analyse performance, report on key metrics, and make recommendations to improve campaign impact

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience in B2B marketing or event promotion, ideally within a commercial or conference-led environment
• Excellent written English and strong attention to detail — you’ll be editing, proofreading, and publishing regularly
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel for data handling and analysis
• Familiarity with Photoshop, InDesign, CMS tools, or email platforms is a plus (training available)
• Social media savvy — bonus points for experience in LinkedIn campaigns, SEO or paid advertising
• Confident communicator, able to liaise with external partners, suppliers, and internal teams
• Comfortable working on multiple projects at once and delivering to deadlines
• Willingness to travel to events (approximately 15-25%)

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Early finish every Friday - start your weekend sooner
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Private medical insurance
• Pension and life assurance
• Retail discounts and wellbeing platform
