Job description

Junior Marketing & Sales Executive

About the Role:

Are you passionate about sales and marketing, eager to learn, and ready to kickstart your career in a fast-paced, dynamic industry? We’re looking for a Junior Marketing & Sales Executive — a motivated self-starter excited to develop their skills and grow within our team at Kingfisher Brixham.

You’ll work closely with both sales and marketing teams, supporting day-to-day operations while owning projects that build our brand and drive sales. This is a fantastic chance to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and step into a more senior marketing role as you grow.

What You'll Do:

Sales Support:

• Understand our customers’ specific needs and actively promote and sell our diverse product range.
• Handle incoming calls and emails, processing orders, answering queries, and delivering outstanding customer service.

Marketing Assistance:

• Support local marketing initiatives and customer communications, especially through social media and digital channels.
• Collaborate with team members to create fresh, engaging content for social media, blogs, and apps across multiple platforms.
• Prepare and organise marketing materials—brochures, leaflets, and more—by gathering relevant information and applying creative writing skills.
• Write clear, SEO-friendly content for publications, websites, social media, and other marketing collateral, adapting tone and style as needed.
• Produce high-quality photos and videos using mobile devices or cameras, including staging product photoshoots with props.
• Analyse marketing campaigns and report findings to support the Sales Manager in planning future promotions.
• Monitor social media activity of customers and competitors, flagging important mentions or issues to management and responding where appropriate.
• Provide additional support to the sales team with ad hoc marketing and communication tasks.

About You:

We want someone who brings genuine passion for sales and marketing, with a drive to learn and succeed in a fast-paced hospitality and seafood environment. The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Excellent customer service skills and a professional telephone manner.
• Ability to present data and reports clearly and accessibly.
• Experience managing websites using CMS platforms.
• Familiarity with Google Analytics is a bonus.
• Strong knowledge of social media, ideally in a business context.
• Self-motivation with a collaborative, team-player attitude.
• Well-organised with strong time management skills.
• Adaptability to thrive in a fast-moving environment.
• Attention to detail and strong problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication skills at all levels.
• Ability to build and maintain positive working relationships across teams.
• Competence in reporting and marketing analytics.
• Photography skills or an interest in photography.
• Flexibility to cover early morning shifts at fish markets and docks.

No prior sales or food service experience required! While seafood knowledge is a plus, your motivation, attitude, and willingness to learn are what matter most.

What You’ll Need:

• Minimum of 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) with strong IT and personal skills.
• Punctual, motivated, and confident communicating with diverse audiences.
• Resilient, proactive, and tenacious — ready to take ownership of your success.
• Ability to meet realistic but challenging sales targets through hard work and dedication.

Why Join Us?

• Gain hands-on experience and grow your marketing career with expert support.
• Be part of an innovative, friendly team in an exciting and unique industry.
• Clear progression path toward a senior marketing role.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
