This role combines hands‑on marketing delivery with a strong focus on tone of voice, ensuring information is accessible, professional and appropriate for each audience, whether that’s a customer seeking clarity or a dealer partner needing timely, practical information.

Develop and deliver digital acquisition activity across key channels, monitoring performance and identifying opportunities to improve reach, conversion and ROI
Produce and maintain marketing materials, including social media content, design assets, presentations and website updates
Write, review and refine customer and dealer communications to ensure clarity, consistency, tone of voice and alignment with brand, compliance and Consumer Duty requirements
Monitor customer feedback and reviews, identifying insights and trends to enhance communications, campaigns and overall customer experience
Collaborate with internal teams, including legal and compliance, to ensure all communications meet regulatory standards and support business needs
Analyse campaign performance and present insights and recommendations to stakeholders, championing the voice of the customer across all communications

Data-driven mindset, with experience using tools such as Google Analytics and A/B testing to track performance and improve outcomes
Strong social media and content creation skills, including planning, scheduling, engagement and performance analysis

Comfortable working within compliance and legal frameworks, with high attention to detail and a focus on fair customer outcomes
Experience creating visual assets using design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (e.g. InDesign, Photoshop) and/or Canva
Proactive, organised and collaborative, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, work with stakeholders and utilise tools (e.g. CMS, design platforms, AI) to enhance marketing effectiveness
