Marketing & Business Development Executive

Job Title

Marketing & Business Development Executive

An established UK-based construction marketing agency is seeking a dynamic, hands-on Marketing & Business Development Executive to become the right hand to the Founder.

This is a pivotal role within a boutique agency that partners with architects, contractors, and industrial businesses across the UK. Following a period of restructuring, the business is now lean, focused, and ready for smart, sustainable growth. The Founder is looking for one exceptional full-time professional to consolidate marketing, CRM, and client-facing responsibilities currently managed by multiple freelancers.

This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who thrives on ownership, enjoys variety, and brings both creative marketing expertise and confident client communication skills. You will play a key part in shaping client campaigns, managing proposals, and supporting warm business development efforts — all while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

Marketing (Primary Focus)

• Manage and execute social media content across client accounts
• Create and schedule email marketing campaigns using Mailchimp
• Write high-quality, original copy tailored to different audiences (e.g. architects vs industrial clients)
• Edit and amend client marketing materials using Adobe InDesign
• Design supporting visual content using Canva
• Maintain consistent tone of voice across all client communications
• Ensure all copy is human-written and aligned with brand standards
• Support campaign planning and implementation

Business Development & Administration (Secondary Focus)

• Manage and maintain HubSpot CRM (including system migration support)
• Create polished, professional proposals using Better Proposals
• Conduct warm outreach calls (referral-based — no cold calling)
• Run initial screening calls with prospective clients before handover to the Founder
• Assist with general marketing administration and reporting
• Support diary coordination and pipeline tracking

Qualifications & Experience

Essential Requirements:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a marketing executive or similar role
• Strong experience with social media management and email marketing (Mailchimp preferred)
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign (non-negotiable)
• Strong Canva skills
• Proven copywriting ability with clear understanding of tone-of-voice adaptation
• Comfortable and confident conducting video calls with UK-based clients
• Experience using HubSpot CRM (or similar CRM systems)
• Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently
• Positive, professional and engaging communication style
• Reliable laptop, stable high-speed internet connection, and quiet workspace
• Willingness to use a UK phone system (e.g. Zoom Phone)

Important:

• Client work must be fully human-written. AI-generated copy is not acceptable.
• A portfolio of previous marketing and design work is required as part of the application.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Energetic, warm and personable
• Organised and detail-oriented
• Commercially aware and confident speaking to business owners
• Comfortable working in a growing business environment
• Able to take initiative without constant direction
• Solutions-focused with a “can-do” mindset
