Job Title
Marketing & Business Development Executive
An established UK-based construction marketing agency is seeking a dynamic, hands-on Marketing & Business Development Executive to become the right hand to the Founder.
This is a pivotal role within a boutique agency that partners with architects, contractors, and industrial businesses across the UK. Following a period of restructuring, the business is now lean, focused, and ready for smart, sustainable growth. The Founder is looking for one exceptional full-time professional to consolidate marketing, CRM, and client-facing responsibilities currently managed by multiple freelancers.
This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who thrives on ownership, enjoys variety, and brings both creative marketing expertise and confident client communication skills. You will play a key part in shaping client campaigns, managing proposals, and supporting warm business development efforts — all while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
Marketing (Primary Focus)
- Manage and execute social media content across client accounts
- Create and schedule email marketing campaigns using Mailchimp
- Write high-quality, original copy tailored to different audiences (e.g. architects vs industrial clients)
- Edit and amend client marketing materials using Adobe InDesign
- Design supporting visual content using Canva
- Maintain consistent tone of voice across all client communications
- Ensure all copy is human-written and aligned with brand standards
- Support campaign planning and implementation
Business Development & Administration (Secondary Focus)
- Manage and maintain HubSpot CRM (including system migration support)
- Create polished, professional proposals using Better Proposals
- Conduct warm outreach calls (referral-based — no cold calling)
- Run initial screening calls with prospective clients before handover to the Founder
- Assist with general marketing administration and reporting
- Support diary coordination and pipeline tracking
Qualifications & Experience
Essential Requirements:
- Minimum 3 years’ experience in a marketing executive or similar role
- Strong experience with social media management and email marketing (Mailchimp preferred)
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign (non-negotiable)
- Strong Canva skills
- Proven copywriting ability with clear understanding of tone-of-voice adaptation
- Comfortable and confident conducting video calls with UK-based clients
- Experience using HubSpot CRM (or similar CRM systems)
- Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently
- Positive, professional and engaging communication style
- Reliable laptop, stable high-speed internet connection, and quiet workspace
- Willingness to use a UK phone system (e.g. Zoom Phone)
Important:
- Client work must be fully human-written. AI-generated copy is not acceptable.
- A portfolio of previous marketing and design work is required as part of the application.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Energetic, warm and personable
- Organised and detail-oriented
- Commercially aware and confident speaking to business owners
- Comfortable working in a growing business environment
- Able to take initiative without constant direction
- Solutions-focused with a “can-do” mindset
