Digital Marketing Executive

About the role:

The Digital Marketing Executive will be responsible for developing, implementing and managing primarily digital marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness, drive customer engagement and ultimately, develop marketing qualified leads for the sales team.

Our products fall under the banner of ‘high tech’ and a big role of the marketing team is to translate information between technical product managers & engineers and potential customers. The ideal candidate will be technically minded, or at least have an interest in technology as you will need to use our products to adequately market them.

We are a small team, so you will need to be comfortable helping out with ad hoc tasks as and when they come up, but the core tasks for this role will include:

• Develop a social media strategy and manage the social media channels.
• Support the execution of marketing campaigns with a focus on lead generation and enrolments for webinars & event days.
• Use account-based marketing practices to develop engaging email campaigns.
• Help manage and update the Isode website via the WordPress CMS.
• Create a Google Ads strategy.
• Content creation for blog posts, marketing collateral and third-party websites.

Although it is not a specific requirement for the role, we frequently travel for events so if you are comfortable being at expos/conferences and talking to customers face to face you will have the opportunity to travel with our team.

While this role can either be remote, hybrid or office based, depending on the candidate’s preference, for the first 3 months the successful candidate will be expected to be in the office at least once a week while they get up to speed on our product set. Once this period has passed and the candidate feels comfortable this expectation will be dropped.

Required skills:

Candidates will ideally come from a technical background, with prior experience in the defence or aviation industries or any experience dealing with governments being a big plus.

Hard Skills:

• A minimum of 1-2 years of marketing experience.
• Experience using email marketing tools.
• Experience with Salesforce, or a similar CRM system.
• Experience marketing SAAS or Software in general.
• Experience managing social media platforms.

Soft Skills:

• Strong creative skills.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Comfortable explaining technical information.
• Happy to work autonomously.
