What do you need to be successful?

Experience of developing brand marketing campaigns is desirable, plus an appetite to learn and develop your broader marketing skills. Having a passion for food is definitely an advantage and experience within the food industry would set you apart from other candidates.

You will need to have fantastic attention to detail, copywriting is a fundamental part of the role so you’ll need to enjoy writing. An ability to work in a very deadline driven environment is vital. This role requires high organisational skills and the ability to manage your own workload coupled with a flexible approach when things change.

Finally, we pride ourselves on our foodie culture so you’ll need to have a keen interest in food. A marketing degree or similar qualification is also desired but relevant experience will also be considered.
