Job Overview

Job purpose

Future IT is looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Graduate Apprentice to join our Marketing team as an Digital Marketing Executive. This is an exciting opportunity for a recent school leaver or college graduate with a passion for technology and marketing to gain hands-on experience while studying towards a BA (Hons) in Business Management.

You will be part of a supportive and innovative team, working on real-time IT marketing projects, and contributing to the growth of our digital presence. This role is ideal for someone eager to learn, grow, and make an impact in a fast-paced IT environment.

This is a remote working opportunity, but you must be able to attend university in person one day per week.

As a Graduate Apprentice you will study for your degree alongside your job, spending approximately 80% of your time in work and 20% in university. This unique combination offers an integrated experience, where practical skills and knowledge gained during the university days can be embedded in your working practices. Skills learned directly in the workplace are aligned with and can be applied to coursework and assessment. This allows you to attain an honours degree in 4 years, the same time as traditional full-time students.

The BA (Hons) Business Management Graduate Apprenticeship allows you to enhance your skills and improve career prospects while developing your business mindset. You'll explore the internal structures and strategies which businesses adopt in response to key external drivers for change that impact upon them. You will develop your effective business and management skills by balancing theory with your day-to-day work in your organisation. In this degree you will put learning into practice and will solve problems on real projects in your workplace, applying your learning to the world of work.

Our Business Management Graduate Apprenticeship is mapped to provide dual accreditation with Chartered Management Institute (CMI). This means graduates can also receive a professional Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership, with no additional work needed.

During your time working as a Graduate Apprentice with us, you will:

• Assist in planning and executing digital marketing campaigns (LinkedIn, Google, Email, etc.)
• Support content creation including blogs, case studies, social media posts, and marketing collateral
• Research and identify new leads, clients, and partnership opportunities in the IT/SaaS sector
• Maintain and update CRM systems and databases
• Help manage company website content and updates using CMS tools
• Monitor marketing metrics and prepare performance reports
• Coordinate with design and development teams for campaign execution
