Job Description

Role Overview: Junior Marketing Assistant

This business creates online and in-person courses, events, and immersive programs for senior creative professionals. Their audience includes Heads of UX at global tech companies, Lead Designers from major entertainment brands, and senior creatives shaping products used by millions. Courses are taught by real practitioners in London and California, sharing practical frameworks, thinking, and lessons from their current work.

This is a brilliant entry-level role for someone who loves writing, content, and ideas, and wants to build a career in marketing.

You'll help turn long-form content – podcasts, talks, and interviews with senior creative leaders – into clear, engaging, and shareable marketing content. One day you might be pulling insights from a conversation with a Head of UX at a global streaming platform; another day you could be shaping social posts based on a session led by a Lead Designer from a major entertainment brand.

You don't need to be a finished marketer. You do need excellent written English, curiosity, and the motivation to keep learning.

You'll be joining a creative, hard-working team who genuinely enjoy what they do. Because the team is small, you'll see what everyone's working on and how your output directly impacts the business. There's flexibility around working hours, plenty of exposure to senior people in the creative industry, and strong support for personal development – including access to the company's own courses.

What You're Good At

  • Writing clear, engaging English (English as a first language is essential)
  • Absorbing complex information and relaying it in well-written, coherent content
  • Creating short- and long-form written content (newsletters, social posts, updates, ads)
  • Turning podcast transcripts and long-form discussions into shareable insights
  • Editing long-form video content into short clips (Reels / Shorts)
  • Supporting podcasts and YouTube channels (show notes, clips, uploads, basic edits)
  • Proofreading and spotting errors quickly
  • Emailing collaborators, replying to requests, and following up conversations
  • Keeping spreadsheets and internal systems organised
  • Learning quickly and staying curious

Bonus points for

  • A genuine interest in marketing and/or social media
  • Wanting to become a marketing generalist rather than specialising too early
  • Keeping up with trends on your own (platforms, formats, tone, tools)
  • Creating content in your free time (social, blogs, newsletters, video or similar)
  • Any previous experience managing or contributing to content, even informally
