Farnborough
About the job: Are you an early-stage career marketer (or youâre a bit further along and want to get into marketing) and think youâve got what it takes to build, launch, and run different, inventive, and creative marketing campaigns for B2B tech brands that truly deliver the goods? Then have we got a job spec for you to check out... This role is all about helping to deliver brilliant marketing programs and campaigns for our clients, and delighting those same clients along the way. Youâll be working incredibly closely (like, REALLY closely) with our clients, the Sharper team, and our wider network of creative talent, to build, deliver and bring to life creative, interesting, different, and attention-grabbing B2B marketing campaigns. Itâs all to ensure we deliver top-notch work that translates into success for our clients â whatever that looks like to them. About Us: Weâre on a mission to give our clients the Fresh Ideas & Firepower they need to make them and their B2B marketing Sharper (whilst making B2B marketing as a whole more creative, valued and commercially successful in the process). Clientâs love working with us for 3 main reasons: ⢠Weâre fearlessly creative, but we underpin EVERYTHING we do with metrics and measures of success., ⢠Weâre B2B tech specialists. We know our clients world because itâs our world too., ⢠Weâre nice people and fun to work with, but we give no easy rides. Weâre direct. We challenge. We ask hard questions. Because thatâs what a great agency partner should do. And we live and die by our values: Creativity, Tenacity, Fairness, and Fun. If you donât think these 4 things are important then youâre not going to enjoy working here. So, does Sharper sound like something you want to be part of? Then read on⌠About You: Weâre a small (in the grand scheme of things), independent agency so we canât afford to carry any passengers. Which means we hire first and foremost on attitude and personality. Experience and skills are obviously useful, but they can be gained or learned. If youâve got the right approach and attitude though, youâll be on to a winner. So, what does that âright approachâ and attitude look like? ⢠Youâll be âcan doâ. You need to be able to pick up the initiative and get stuff done, no matter what kind of curve balls come flying at you., ⢠Youâll be a problem solver. If things crop up that get in the way you wonât just accept them and say, âoh wellâ. Youâll be coming up with the ideas and different approaches to get around, under and over those challenges., ⢠Youâll be inquisitive and empathetic, always looking for new ideas and new ways to do things that connect with people. And youâll bring those to the table for the benefit of Sharper and our clients., ⢠Youâll be confident (but definitely not arrogant). You need to know yourself, know what youâre good at and back yourself in doing it. But youâll also be self-aware and humble enough to know where the line is., ⢠Youâll want to crack on with your career. We want to see you be a success, but we also know youâre not going to stay with us forever. If we can help you on the way and we all have some fun doing it, then thatâs win-win. As youâre in the early stages of your career (or youâre pivoting into marketing) you likely wonât have a lot of experience you can fall back on. But thatâs totally fine with us. Weâre not one of those companies expecting a new graduate to have 5-years of industry experience (whatâs that all about?). If youâve got a business or marketing degree and maybe a year in industry thatâs great. But if you havenât, itâs not a deal breaker. Some of the current Sharperinoâs have degrees in psychology, English, and broadcasting (whatever that means?). Some of the current Sharperinoâs donât have degrees at all. We know you wonât have an extensive CV to show us but what you do need you to be able to demonstrate is some key skills youâll most definitely need⌠Skills: ⢠Clear communicator. Youâll be working across multiple campaigns/projects at any one time, talking to a variety of people so youâve got to be clear and consistent with your communications â both written and verbal, ⢠Able to handle complexity. With multiple projects/campaigns on the go youâve got to have the mental agility to be able to switch from one thing to the next and be comfortable managing your own energy and time to do so., ⢠Idea generator. Client's love us for the different, unique, and innovative ideas we come up with, so you'll need to be able to throw plenty of these into the mix (and then be able to bring these to life), ⢠Copy writing. Youâve got to have a solid grasp on the English language and able to create engaging copy that will be used across the campaigns/projects we deliver for our clients. As a Junior Marketing Program Manager you'll be reporting into our Head of Marketing Programs and working really closely with our other Marketing Program Managers, helping them deliver the brilliant, creative, inventive work that clients know and love us for. What youâll get from us: If you join us as a Junior Marketing Program Manager weâll give you: ⢠Our undying love and affection, ⢠A ÂŁ24,000 salary, ⢠28 days holiday a year (+ a CSR day + a "disconnect day"), ⢠Regular team socials and celebrations. When we âwinâ we celebrate it well., ⢠The tech and equipment youâll need to get things done, ⢠Flexible working. Weâve got an HQ office in Farnborough and we do a "team day" each week. But you donât have to work there. Truthfully, we donât really mind how or where you work, itâs much more about getting the job done for our clients. Once you pass your probation period youâll then unlock all of these things too: ⢠BUPA Healthcare, ⢠Wellness App (YuLife) â we get very competitive on the step count challenge!, ⢠Our Incentive scheme (aka. Slingshot), ⢠Our Profit share scheme, ⢠Pension scheme And one final thing - to check you've actually read the whole job spec before you apply - the secret code word is POPCORN. Make sure you drop that in if/when you speak to a member of the team đ
