• Solid grasp of effective storytelling and how to tailor messaging to different audiences
• Organised and able to manage priorities across two distinct but exciting brands
• Confident communicator, both within the team and externally
• Creative, self-motivated, and keen to take ownership of projects

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are:

• Ambitious and eager to grow your skills in content and digital marketing
• Curious, creative, and always looking for inspiration and ways to improve
• Comfortable working at pace and juggling multiple projects
• Open to feedback and confident sharing your ideas
