Role Overview

The Marketing Executive role is hands-on and focuses on maintaining live, accurate go-to-market communications and activities. This key team position supports ongoing marketing efforts across various brands, locations, and channels. The successful candidate will ensure campaigns launch promptly, websites are continually updated, communications are delivered effectively, and senior marketing staff can focus on strategy rather than execution details. This is an early-career opportunity that carries significant responsibility and trust to independently manage tasks, preempt issues, and maintain seamless marketing operations.

Candidate Profile

• Highly organised, proactive, and results-driven with a commitment to accuracy.
• Able to manage multiple priorities across different brands efficiently, working at pace without letting foundational tasks slip.
• Strong sense of responsibility and work ethic; willing to take ownership and follow through on tasks beyond typical office hours when necessary.

Key Skills and Experience

• Confidence in updating websites including homepages, landing pages, offers, blogs, and news content.
• Experience in supporting email and SMS marketing campaigns.
• Ability to collaborate with paid media experts to implement campaigns effectively.
• Good judgement regarding copy tone, brand voice, and compliance standards.
• A delivery-focused and pragmatic approach to marketing tasks.

Typical Responsibilities

• Maintaining current website content and offers.

• Engaging with dealerships to ensure marketing activities are understood and correctly utilized.
• Tracking what marketing is live, upcoming, or changing to maintain clear operational visibility.
