Job description

The opportunity

Are you a creative and driven marketer, full of fresh ideas and a passion for all things digital? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, where getting things done is as important as dreaming big?

AES is seeking an enthusiastic Digital Marketing Associate to join our growing Marketing team.

A career with AES represents a commitment to disrupt the status quo of traditional finance and insurance and create posi+ive change in the world.

AES Wealth pioneers the delivery of financial life management, systematic investment, and a unique human-centric model for serving globally minded, successful families. This means helping clients truly prosper and thrive in the different domains of life success.

Within the Middle East, AES Health also offers deep benefits consulting to businesses looking for more than just basic insurance brokerage services.

As the only certified fiduciaries in the AMEA region, clients turn to us for honest, impartial advice. We act as trusted guides – driven by purpose, not products – to achieve better results.

Position overview

This role requires someone hands-on, solutions-focused, and who thrives on making things happen.

You’ll support the whole digital marketing function – helping to build AES’s online presence and bring our brand and ideas to life through engaging content and sharp execution.

You’ll be the go-to person the team relies on – whether that’s assisting in and scheduling social posts, repurposing a blog post for LinkedIn, designing a quick asset in Canva, or jumping in to track campaign results.

This is a junior-level role, ideal for someone early in their career, but with a strong grasp of digital marketing principles, a collaborative mindset, and a hunger to learn and grow.

We welcome misfits, round pegs in square holes, and those brave enough to embrace and evolve our highly differentiated approach.

In this role you’ll

• Support the planning and delivery of digital marketing campaigns across social media, email, and content marketing.
• Draft and schedule posts across LinkedIn (company and personal), X, Facebook, and Instagram.
• Produce and edit visual assets using tools such as Canva – including static graphics, short videos, and reels.
• Assist in monitoring and engaging with social media communities, responding to comments and DMs.
• Help maintain and optimise a social content calendar and ensure campaign deadlines are met.
• Track performance metrics, prepare regular reports, and recommend refinements to boost engagement and leads.
• Repurpose content (e.g. articles, videos, webinars) for different platforms and formats.
• Assist with the management of the CEO’s YouTube channel.
• Stay on top of digital trends, platform updates, and competitor activity.
• Contribute to other marketing projects or initiatives as required by the team.
• Get involved in a wide range of marketing projects – from internal comms to lead generation – as needed by the team.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution (any discipline).
• A generalist’s understanding of digital marketing and eagerness to get stuck in across multiple areas.
• Experience (or confidence) using Canva or similar design tools.
• Strong command of written English.
• Familiarity with major social media platforms and what drives performance on each.
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
• A strong bias for action – you enjoy turning ideas into outputs.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
• A collaborative, can-do attitude and a willingness to support wherever needed.
• Curiosity about AI and a willingness to explore how it can enhance marketing – from improving workflows and content creation to staying ahead of trends and driving greater efficiency.
• Experience with HubSpot is a plus, but not essential.
• Experience in video editing tools like Capcut and video production is desirable.
• Bonus: experience building or growing social media accounts (personal, academic, or professional).

What you’ll get in return – culture and philosophy

Since 2004, AES has been putting clients at the heart of everything. But the secret to the success of any organisation is its people, and that’s why you'll find AES to be a great place to work, driven by a passion for creating an exceptional work environment.

Our intention is to grow like other marketplace innovators and disruptors. This growth will give you accelerated personal and professional opportunity as well as a vocation.

This will be a long journey.

In the meantime, you’ll find a culture where teams obsess about creating amazing results for our clients.

We work hard and together and are the market-leading professionals in our chosen specialisms. You’ll find investment in both your personal and professional development is a top priority for us.

Here’s what we do offer:

• Higher purpose.
• The opportunity to be of service to others.
• A values-driven culture.
• The opportunity to advance your craft, progress and develop yourself.
• Stunning colleagues and a team-based approach.
• Collaborate, innovate, excel, and do the right thing while providing world-class service to our clients.
• Competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for growth, while maintaining a posi+ive work-life balance.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn from our team of experts, do impactful work, touch people’s lives, and be a part of our unique culture. We take great care of the people who take care of our clients.
