About Great British Chefs

Great British Chefs was established in 2010 with the aim of bridging the gap between home cooking and professional culinary expertise, while showcasing the country’s leading chefs. The platform now includes more than 200 chefs and over 6,000 recipes, along with guides, articles and videos designed to help food enthusiasts learn, experiment and cook with confidence. The team works closely with chefs and food writers to create inspiring content that celebrates the diversity of British food culture.

The Role

Great British Chefs is hiring a Marketing Executive to support the Marketing Manager and work across social media, editorial and client operations teams.

You will handle a mix of in-house and client-facing marketing work, including email campaigns, content coordination, competitions and events. The team is small and fast-moving, so priorities may shift from week to week. One day may involve helping with a nationwide BBQ challenge, and another may be spent supporting an influencer event or shaping a client campaign brief. The environment is collaborative and open to new ideas, and your input on campaign concepts and creative direction will be encouraged.

This position also offers access to the company’s in-house test kitchen, where chefs regularly develop and refine recipes.

Monitor channel performance, prepare reports and share regular insights with the wider team.
Support additional marketing projects such as cookbooks and studio hire.
Contribute ideas during team brainstorms for brand and client campaigns.
Manage community engagement, including activity for the Cookbook Club on Facebook.

Requirements

At least 1 year of experience in a marketing role with proven end-to-end campaign planning and delivery.
Practical experience using email marketing platforms.
Excellent written communication ability.
Strong analytical thinking and comfort working with performance data.

Familiarity with analytics tools used to measure digital performance, including social, email and Google Analytics.
Exposure to paid advertising management on Meta, Google or TikTok.

Location and Working Arrangement

Compensation

The salary range is £28,000 to £30,000, depending on experience.
