The role

We’re looking for a Marketing and events executive to join our Content and comms team. This is a new role, reporting to our PR, events and delivery lead, created to support the continued growth and impact of Seccl’s brand. You’ll play a key part in planning and delivering campaigns and events that bring our story to life. Working closely with colleagues across the team and the wider business, as well as external suppliers, you’ll ensure projects are exceptionally well organised, delivered on time and executed to a consistently high standard.

The Content and comms team sits at the heart of how Seccl shows up in the market. We’re responsible for shaping our brand, driving awareness and engagement through content, campaigns and events. As we continue to grow, the team is focused on delivering creative and engaging activity that supports our commercial objectives and strengthens our position in the industry. This role will be central to making that happen – bringing structure, energy and precision to everything we deliver.

On a typical day you will be…

• Supporting the delivery of marketing campaigns aligned to business objectives and target audiences

• Coordinating with content, comms, design and external partners to keep campaigns on track and delivered on time

• Creating and managing campaign and event assets such as invitations, merchandise and digital materials in line with Seccl’s brand

• Planning and scheduling social media activity (primarily LinkedIn), supporting paid activity and optimising content using performance insights

• Managing day-to-day marketing admin including content planning, asset management, updates to our website, campaign tracking and reporting

• Supporting the planning and delivery of internal and external events, including client events, conferences, webinars, company offsites and our attendance at industry events

• Coordinating event logistics including venues, catering, AV and supplier management to ensure smooth delivery

• Maintaining event admin and documentation including budgets, attendee lists, invitations and post-event reporting

This role’s for you if...

• You have experience in marketing and events coordination

• You are highly organised with strong project management skills and the ability to prioritise competing deadlines

• You are a confident communicator who collaborates effectively with colleagues, stakeholders and external suppliers

• You bring creativity and attention to detail to campaigns, events and supporting materials

• You have hands-on LinkedIn experience, creating and posting content for a brand or organisation

• You are comfortable analysing campaign performance data and using insights to optimise activity

• You have used a CRM system to support marketing and event activity (HubSpot experience is desirable)

• You are familiar with digital tools such as a content management system and webinar platforms (e.g. Zoom is desirable)

This role isn’t for you if...

• You rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression

• You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet

• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen

• You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty
