• Writing and adapting social copy and simple creative assets in line with brand guidelines
• Scheduling and checking published social content
• Making routine website and landing-page updates
• Quality-checking everything: spelling, formatting, links, forms and tracking
• Supporting campaign meetings, notes and follow-ups

What you need to be considered:

• 3+ years' experience in marketing, communications, events, digital marketing or an agency
• Start-up experience, or a track record in flexible, fast-paced environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Good copywriting and content skills
