Why This Role Matters:

You’ll support campaigns aimed at HR, Payroll, Finance and Recruitment professionals, helping us promote software that organisations rely on every day.

About the Team You’ll Join:

You’ll join our HCM Demand Marketing team, working with colleagues across Demand Marketing, Product Marketing, Digital, Sales, Customer Success and Marketing Operations, as well as external agencies and partners. Marketing is changing quickly, particularly through AI, search and the way buyers research software. We’re adapting with it, testing new approaches while staying focused on activity that delivers results.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll support marketing activity from planning through to delivery and results.

What We're Looking For:

We’re looking for someone who already has some practical marketing experience and is ready to take on broader campaign responsibility. You’ll ideally have:

• Experience working in marketing, campaigns, events, communications or a related role.
• Some hands‑on experience with email campaigns, webinars, events, content or digital marketing.
• Good organisation skills and confidence managing several activities and deadlines at once.
• An interest in B2B marketing, demand generation and campaign performance.
• Confidence working with data and understanding basic marketing results.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to work with different teams and keep people updated.
• A proactive approach, with confidence taking ownership of your work.
• Good attention to detail and a focus on delivering accurate work on time.

It would be useful, but isn’t essential, if you also have:

• Experience within B2B marketing, SaaS, software or technology.
• Experience marketing to HR, Payroll or Recruitment audiences.
• Familiarity with Salesforce, Marketo or similar CRM and marketing platforms.
• Experience using Canva, project management or campaign planning tools.
• A Marketing, Business, Communications or related qualification.

You don’t need to tick every box. We’re interested in people who have a good marketing foundation and want to continue building their expertise.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to move beyond supporting just one area of marketing and gain experience across the full campaign journey. You’ll get hands‑on exposure to B2B campaigns, email, digital marketing, webinars, events, content, CRM and performance reporting, while learning from experienced marketing specialists.

What Can You Expect From Our Application Process?

1. Initial conversation with Talent Acquisition: A first conversation about your experience, what you’re looking for next and whether the role feels like the right fit.
2. Competency interview with the Associate Director, Marketing: A more detailed conversation covering your marketing experience, how you manage priorities, work with stakeholders and use ideas and data to improve campaigns.
3. Final interview and presentation with the Associate Director, Marketing and Senior Director, Marketing: You’ll prepare a short presentation based on a campaign or marketing challenge. It’s an opportunity to show us how you think, structure ideas and turn them into practical marketing activity.
