Brand Assistant (6-month FTC)

As a proud B-Corp we focus on using business as a force for good. We do this by balancing out people and planet with profit. For every Mindful Chef recipe box bought we donate the equivalent of a school meal to a child in a less developed country (over 20 million meals donated and counting…) and we have also pledged to go Net Zero by 2030.

The Brand Assistant will be a critical support function within the Brand Team, working across PR, content, digital assets, and ambassador programs. This role is ideal for a highly organised, proactive individual looking for foundational experience in every facet of brand execution and project management in an ambitious business.

This role is designed for a highly motivated individual eager to learn, with the following attributes:

• Currently undertaking (or recently completed) an undergraduate degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.
• Seeking a Year-in-Industry placement or similar high-level internship experience.
• Highly Organised: Proven ability to manage multiple small projects simultaneously and adhere to strict deadlines (low-level project management).
• Excellent Communication: Clear, confident, and professional communicator, capable of liaising effectively between internal teams (marketing/kitchen) and external partners/ambassadors.
• Proactive & Hands-on: A desire to be involved in the logistical and operational elements of brand execution (e.g., prop ordering, on-site shoot support).
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous approach to quality control, ensuring strict adherence to brand guidelines across all outputs.
• Familiarity with digital content management platforms (e.g., Hubspot, basic CMS knowledge) is a bonus.
• A genuine passion for food, health, and the Mindful Chef mission.

The Brand Assistant will be responsible for the seamless execution and support of brand initiatives, ensuring consistency and efficiency across all touchpoints:

• Brand Campaign & Project Support
  • Campaign Management: Assist in the execution of quarterly Brand & Trade initiatives, including submitting creative briefs on time and ensuring all collateral meets strict brand standards.
  • Brand Standards: Serve as a key internal brand champion, helping to ensure brand guidelines are followed consistently across all production and communication activities (e.g., printed materials, internal comms).
  • Asset Management: Help maintain organised brand documentation and asset libraries for easy retrieval by marketing, design, and external teams.
• PR & Content Execution
  • Public Relations (PR) Support: Provide day‑to‑day PR assistance, including managing and responding to media image requests from external partners and journalists.
  • Ambassador Coordination: Support content planning and coordination with key ambassadors (e.g., The Gut Health Doctor) across social media channels and blog platforms.
  • Gifting Logistics: Manage the end‑to‑end process of gifting initiatives for both the PR team and the ambassador programme (including the Mindful Chef Supper Club).
• Digital & Operational Consistency
  • Digital Content Management: Manage and update website banners and Hubspot content pages to maintain crucial brand and campaign consistency across digital platforms.
  • Shoot Support: Provide reliable on‑site operational support during photo and video shoots for brand content, partners, and ambassadors. This includes being responsible for prop ordering and inventory.
  • Team Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact and link between the marketing team and the kitchen/operational teams, ensuring clear, consistent communication regarding new product launches or campaigns.
