Job Vacancy: Junior Paid, Search & Content Marketing Executive

Junior Paid, Search & Content  Marketing Executive

We are currently recruiting within our marketing team.

Responsible to: Head of Marketing / General Manager

Location: Office Based - Witney, Oxfordshire

Start Date: ASAP

Contract: Full-time (on-site)

Salary: £25,500

Founded in 1998, our experienced team has been providing tailor-made holidays of the highest quality ever since. In a recent employee survey, our employees rated us as 10/10 for being a great employer and for our expertise based on years of meticulous and extensive research, which we believe is quite simply unmatched.

We are a close-knit team, passionate about what we do, and we make regular visits to every property and resort we feature. We place great emphasis on first-class service, ensuring we are always offering up-to-date, unbiased advice to our discerning clients, whether it is their first booking with us or their 30th. We have the same philosophy for our employees.

Located in the traditional market town of Witney, Oxfordshire, we are just a stone's throw from the beautiful Cotswolds and only a short 30-minute drive from Oxford town centre - it really is the best of both worlds.

We are now seeking a Junior Paid, Search & Performance Marketing Executive — a role designed for someone with 1–2 years’ experience who is ready to take their first meaningful step into a broader, more commercially focused marketing position.

The Role:

We have taken great care and pride in developing our marketing communications, both from a visual and creative standpoint, but also from an intelligence and activation perspective. We are now looking for an enthusiastic individual to join the team at this exciting juncture as we look to further evolve and deliver our integrated communications to existing and prospective clients.

This role sits at the heart of our lead generation and digital performance activity. While our partner agencies manage the granular day-to-day execution of paid search and paid media campaigns, you will play a key role in liaising with those agencies, building strong working relationships and helping to ensure our digital investment delivers the best possible return on investment.

You will work under the guidance of our Marketing Executive and report directly to our Head of Marketing / General Manager, giving you exposure to both hands-on marketing delivery and senior-level commercial decision-making.

This is a genuine opportunity to own and develop key elements of the marketing mix that require dedicated focus and attention, particularly where performance, content and visual communication intersect. Alongside performance marketing, you will help shape how our brand shows up visually and creatively across social media and digital channels.

· Passionate about travel and inspired by luxury brands and experiences

· A confident writer with a creative approach to content and storytelling

· A strong visual eye, with an instinctive understanding of what works on social media

· Organised, proactive and keen to develop quickly within an ambitious business.

Benefits:

· Work alongside a fantastic team which continues to position us as the market leaders in luxury ski escapes

· Work in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds and a short drive from Oxford, making countryside commutes a real pleasure
