Marketing Executive in Birkenhead

Marketing Executive
In fact, were looking for 2 Executives, one to be based at Balaena Birkenhead and one at Balaena Tyne.
You wont just create content; youll be telling the story of what were building.
Were looking for Executives with ideas, energy and ambition who see an opportunity where others see a photo, a project where others see a progress update, and a great story where others see another day at work so if youre creative, commercially aware and happiest when youre out where the action is, this could be the just what youre looking for.
Its a hands-on marketing role in an ambitious, growing maritime group. Youll be close to the work, close to the team and responsible for turning what happens across our business into marketing that gets us noticed. Were not looking for someone to simply manage an account or a content calendar, we want someone who will get out there and find our stories!
Who are we?
Balaena is one of the UKs most ambitious maritime groups, with operations spanning Gibraltar, Padstow, Tyne, Birkenhead and Falmouth.
Were growing, changing and raising our ambitions and we need marketing that reflects that.
Youll join a marketing team with a clear commercial purpose: helping Balaena build its reputation, strengthen relationships and create opportunities for growth.
As the dedicated marketing presence within your local facility, youll work alongside the people delivering the projects capturing the expertise, innovation and personality that make Balaena different.
What will you be doing?
Quite simply, youll make sure the great work happening here doesnt go unnoticed.
Youll:
Find the stories. Get out and talk to people, understand whats happening and identify the projects, milestones and achievements that are worth telling the world about.
Youll create content people want to see, shoot photography and video of vessels, projects, people and events and turn it into content that stops the scroll.
As our local social presence, youll plan, create and schedule engaging content across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other digital channels.
Youll tell compelling stories. Write project updates, news stories, employee features and customer case studies that bring our work to life.
Supporting campaigns that matter, youll help to deliver product and service launches, sector campaigns, recruitment activity, brand rollouts and customer communications.
To help win business, youll work closely with Sales and Business Development to create presentations, case studies, bid materials, digital assets and exhibition collateral that support commercial conversations.
Making PR happen, youll spot the stories that deserve attention and work with PR to turn them into opportunities for Balaena.
Being there for project milestones, events, customer visits and key activity across the yard youll capture the moments that matter.
Youll keep our digital presence moving with website updates, news, project stories and other digital content.
To help build the brand, youll work with the Head of Marketing and Head of Brand making sure every piece of content reflects Balaena consistently and professionally.
Youll have plenty of variety. One day you could be photographing a vessel in the yard; the next you could be editing a video, writing a customer story or helping prepare for an exhibition.
Thats the point. We want marketing to be close to the business not sitting on the sidelines.
What do we want to see in you?
We want someone who gets marketing, gets people and gets stuff done. Youll know your way around a Reel. From spotting a good story and filming it, to editing short-form video and getting it live, you understand how to create content for social first. Experience with Photoshop, Lightroom or other editing software would be great. And if you already know your way around a drone, even better - if not, but youre keen to learn, we can help you develop those skills.
Youll bring:
Marketing experience or a relevant marketing qualification and a strong track record of creating social media content.
A great understanding of LinkedIn and other social media platforms.
Excellent organisation and the ability to keep multiple projects moving.
The confidence to build relationships with people across the business with a proactive, curious and creative approach.
A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel occasionally between Group locations.
Experience in engineering, manufacturing, maritime or defence would be useful.
But were more interested in what you can do than how many boxes you can tick.
If youre someone who sees an opportunity, picks up a camera, asks the right questions and gets on with making it happen, youll fit in well here.
Why join us?
Because this isnt a role where your work disappears into a corporate machine.
Youll see it. Youll own it. And people will notice it.
Youll be embedded in a growing business, working alongside operational teams and project managers to understand the work at its source then turning it into marketing that supports reputation, engagement and commercial growth.
Youll have the opportunity to bring ideas to the table, challenge how things are done and make a genuine contribution to how Balaena presents itself to customers, partners, employees and the wider market.
Were ambitious about where Balaena is going.
We want someone ambitious about the role they can play in getting us there.
If youre ready to get closer to the action, create work youre proud of and help tell the next chapter of the Balaena story we want to hear from you.
