You'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of marketing disciplines, whilst taking ownership of your own projects and building relationships with stakeholders across the business.

• Someone who has completed an industrial placement or internship in marketing, commercial, sales or a related environment.
• An individual with approximately one year's marketing or commercial experience looking for their next step.
• Or simply someone with the right combination of academic achievement, commercial awareness, personality and drive.

You don't need to have previous trade marketing experience.

What matters is that you're bright, commercially curious and switched on, with the ability to learn quickly and take ownership.

You’ll need:

• 2:1 degree or above, ideally in Business, Marketing or a related discipline.

• A genuine team-player mentality.
• The confidence to work with internal stakeholders, European teams and external agencies.
• Enthusiasm and willingness to travel within the UK and Europe.
• A European language in addition to English would be beneficial, but is not essential.

We're looking for someone who is:

Bright – academically strong and able to absorb information quickly.

Commercial – interested in products, customers, markets and business performance.

Proactive – a self-starter who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Organised – able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.

Creative & curious – interested in how campaigns and marketing assets can influence customers.

Detail-focused – understands that accurate product information and high-quality marketing materials matter.
