You'll be a key contributor to the wider marketing team from a people and culture perspective.

For this and other projects you’ll communicate efficiently with a diverse range of both internal and external stakeholders.

This is a fixed term opportunity for 12 months, based in our Andover office on a hybrid basis.

• Learn and support our Marketing Director with key systems such as raising POs, processing expenses, travel bookings and more.
• Launch key initiatives and be a key ‘culture driver’ of an environment of high performance internally.
• Create a buzz & energy for key initiatives across UK&I and take a people-orientated approach day to day, whilst also adopting a solution-based mindset on how we resolve them.
• Be a willing contributor towards the wider team goals and objectives, willing to turn your hand to anything and support however required, to win as a team.
