Marketing Assistant - Campaigns & Brand Marketing (12 month FTC)

Help bring the Screwfix brand to life.

At Screwfix, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Whether they're a trade professional or tackling a DIY project, we make it easier for them to get the job done quickly, affordably and right first time.

Behind every campaign is a team of talented marketers working together to create engaging customer experiences, and we're looking for a Marketing Assistant to become part of that team.

This is far more than a traditional marketing support role. You'll work across a broad mix of seasonal campaigns, brand activity and customer communications, collaborating with teams across the business to help bring campaigns to life. From working alongside our in-house creative team and leading external agencies, to supporting photography, radio and TV shoots, no two days are the same.

It's a varied, fast-paced role where you'll gain exposure to every stage of campaign delivery, working with colleagues across PR, Social, CRM, eCommerce, Digital and Commercial. You'll build strong stakeholder relationships, develop your marketing expertise and play a key role in delivering campaigns that reach millions of customers.

If you're highly organised, enjoy juggling multiple priorities and love seeing ideas become reality, this could be the perfect next step in your marketing career.

This is a 12 month fixed term contract opportunity. 

The closing date for applications is 9am on Tuesday 14th July.
