Job description

Overview

Marketing and Content Executive

£26,000 – £30,000 + quarterly bonus (OTE £30k–£36k)

Remote-first (monthly connection day in Cheltenham)

Seymour John is delighted to be recruiting for a different kind of travel company. Built on curiosity, genuine expertise and a passion for helping people see the world differently, they’ve spent 15 years crafting tailor-made trips that are thoughtful, personal and rooted in real connections. With a team of 26 and a culture that people rarely leave, they’re now looking for a Marketing & Content Executive to join their close-knit, award-winning team.

If you’re a natural storyteller, a confident writer and someone who lights up when talking about travel, this is a place where your creativity and initiative will be genuinely valued.

Why this role?

You’ll step into a varied, hands-on role working directly with an experienced, friendly and highly collaborative Marketing Manager. Together, you’ll shape content that inspires clients to explore the world, drawing on the first-hand insights of Destination Managers who know their locations inside out.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their marketing career (1–2 years’ experience ideal), who wants to grow their skills across both digital and traditional marketing disciplines. With a clear succession plan into for the right person, it’s a role with real development potential.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll become the heartbeat of content creation, responsible for :

• Writing and editing engaging travel content – blogs, web pages, landing pages, newsletters and social copy.
• Working closely with Destination Managers to capture stories, insights and fresh inspiration from their research trips.
• Supporting campaigns across email, social, print and paid channels.
• Sourcing, resizing and organising imagery so every itinerary looks its best.
• Supporting with press releases, award submissions and ad-hoc marketing materials.
• Monitoring key performance metrics and supporting with reporting.
• Bringing energy and creativity to everyday marketing activity - from meticulously written blogs to collaborative brainstorms.

This is predominantly an execution-focused role, perfect for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, juggling projects and taking initiative.

What they’re looking for

Someone who is :

• A strong, articulate writer with great attention to tone, detail and clarity.
• Passionate about travel – ideally well-travelled yourself.
• Organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple tasks.
• Curious, creative and eager to learn more.
• A positive, team-oriented person who enjoys collaborating.
• Based within roughly an hour of Cheltenham (monthly in-person Connection Days are essential to their culture).

No specific tech stack required – Mailchimp experience is helpful but not essential.

A culture people stay for

Our client is proudly remote-first, but culture is at the centre of everything they do. Their monthly Thursday Connection Day in Cheltenham is non-negotiable, because that’s where ideas are shared, relationships are built and their collaborative spirit thrives.

They’re incredibly flexible around family commitments, life admin and the unexpected. They don’t watch clocks; they trust people to do great work.

Their tenure speaks for itself : anyone who joins tends to stay.

Salary, perks & benefits

• £26k–£30k basic salary + quarterly bonus (individual & company performance).
• Birthday off, 20 days’ holiday + bank holidays (rising with service).
• £250 personal development fund each year (for anything that helps you grow).
• 5 days’ volunteering leave.
• 5% matched pension, NHS cashback scheme.
• £25 monthly broadband contribution.
• Work-from-overseas policy – up to 4 weeks abroad (within 2-hour time difference).
• Occasional opportunity to travel the world with your Destination Managers
• Remote-first, flexible working (9–5 Monday to Friday).

The process

A two-stage interview with HR and Marketing Manager including a timed task, followed by a final conversation with the wider team and the CEO.
