Job description

French-Speaking Digital Marketing Executive

Leeds, West Yorkshire, hybrid – 2 days per week in the office

About the role

Our client, a well-established online retailer in the sports and outdoor sector, is looking for a French-speaking Marketing Executive to drive growth in their French market. You'll report into the International Marketing Manager and work across content, social media, influencer marketing and e-commerce, so if you like variety in your working week, this one's for you.

You might have a couple of years' marketing experience already, or you might just have bags of curiosity and the right attitude. Either way, you'll be naturally interested in marketing trends and the French sports, running and outdoor market, comfortable taking ownership of projects from brief to delivery, and happy to flag issues (and solutions) early rather than let them quietly become a problem.

You'll enjoy asking questions, challenging ideas constructively, and using research on customers and competitors to shape what the marketing team does next.
