Marketing Assistant/ Content Assistant in Middleton

About Charles & Ivy

Charles & Ivy is a contemporary interiors brand redefining premium living through design-led detail, quality craftsmanship, and aspirational storytelling. Following the successful launch of our mirror collection as our first step into interiors, we’re growing our team to elevate our social and digital presence across all key channels.

The Role

We’re looking for a highly creative and hands-on individual to join Charles & Ivy as we scale our brand presence across social and digital platforms. This is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary role sitting at the intersection of content creation, social media, and design.

You’ll play a key role in bringing the brand to life visually — from shooting and editing engaging social-first content to supporting the development of polished creative assets across digital, print, and paid channels. Working closely with both the Social Media Executive and Senior Creative Lead, you’ll help translate ideas into impactful, on-brand content that resonates with our audience.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment, has a strong eye for aesthetics, and is deeply in tune with social trends and content formats. You’ll be equally comfortable behind the camera, in editing tools, and designing in Figma or Adobe — contributing to both day-to-day execution and broader creative direction.

As part of a growing interiors brand, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how Charles & Ivy shows up across platforms, capturing everything from polished campaign moments to authentic, behind-the-scenes storytelling.
