About DataVita

DataVita is a next-generation cloud and infrastructure company operating from Tier III-certified data centres in Scotland. We work at the bleeding edge of AI adoption, automation, and how these technologies can be integrated into complex legacy environments to deliver genuine transformation. Most of our customers do not come to us for a single product. They come to us because they have a range of problems across cloud, infrastructure, security, and operations that need solving together. Yes, we deliver managed cloud, backup, disaster recovery, and colocation. But the real value is in how we bring those capabilities together to modernise environments that other providers will not touch or do not understand. We are also leading the development of the Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone (AIGZ), delivering up to 500MW of AI-ready data centre capacity powered by private-wire renewable energy. This is nationally significant infrastructure, and it puts DataVita at the centre of the UK's AI and digital strategy. DataVita is the fastest growing technology company in Scotland, with plans to deploy and invest over £2 billion in the coming years. You would be joining at a relatively early stage of that trajectory. For the right person, this is an opportunity to create career-defining moments by being part of what we are building.

The Role

As DataVita scales, we are building out our marketing function, and we need someone who can keep the engine running day to day while the team grows around them. This is a hands-on, executional role. You will be the person who gets things done across a wide range of marketing activity, from updating the website and pulling together a sales presentation in the morning, to building an email campaign and refreshing a social post in the afternoon. You will be the operational backbone that makes the wider team's plans actually happen.

If you are someone who likes variety, takes pride in turning things around quickly and to a high standard, and gets satisfaction from being the team's go-to for getting stuff done, this role is for you. You will wear several hats across a typical week, including:

• Building and updating templates, decks, one-pagers, social tiles, and event collateral using tools like Canva, Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• Managing day to day CRM activity, including list building, email campaigns, contact management, and basic workflow tweaks
• Keeping the website fresh with ad-hoc copy updates, new pages, image swaps, and basic on-page SEO
• Scheduling and posting across LinkedIn and other social channels, and supporting wider campaign execution
• Coordinating with our freelance designers, videographer, and external agencies to keep work moving
• Supporting ad-hoc print, presentation, and event requests from across the business
• Pitching in wherever the team needs a steady pair of hands

What Actually Matters in This Role

• Turnaround and reliability. The marketing team's day-to-day output runs through you. What matters most is that things land on time, look right, and don't need to come back for a second pass. Being the person people trust to just get it done is the core of the job.
• Breadth over depth. You will touch design, CRM, web, social, events, and print, often in the same day. The person who thrives here gets energy from variety rather than wishing they could go deep on one channel. Specialists are coming in for paid media, analytics, and video, so your job is not to become an expert in any single area, it is to be genuinely useful across all of them.
• Taste and an eye for detail. A typo in a deck, a misaligned logo, a social tile that's off-brand — these matter. You don't need to be a designer, but you should care enough about quality to catch things before they go out.
• Comfort with shifting priorities. Plans will change. A campaign you started in the morning may get parked by the afternoon for something more urgent. The right person can re-prioritise without getting flustered or losing momentum.
• Curiosity about AI and tools. We use AI across the business and expect you to do the same. Not as a gimmick, but as a real part of how you work, draft, design, and ship. If that sounds interesting rather than intimidating, you'll fit.

Who Will Fail in This Role

Be honest with yourself. This role is not right for you if:

• You follow processes without questioning whether they are the right processes
• You need close management to stay on track
• You are not interested in learning how technology is changing the way we work
• You want to own one channel deeply and aren't interested in working across several
• You need long lead times and find last-minute requests frustrating rather than part of the job
• You expect a designer, a copywriter, or a developer to handle anything outside your immediate comfort zone
• You see 'executional' work as a stepping stone to something else rather than the heart of what you do

Who Will Succeed

People who are self-starters and can operate independently without being hand-held. People who see opportunity in complexity and ambiguity. People who are honest, direct, and comfortable saying 'this is not working'. People who take pride in being the go-to person who keeps everything moving. People who enjoy breadth, variety, and visibility across a business. People who can produce tidy, on-brand work across design, copy, and digital without needing a specialist for every task. People who genuinely enjoy the operational craft of marketing, not just the strategy.

Experience

What we need:

• 4 to 6 years' experience in a marketing role, ideally in-house or at a small agency
• Confident across the Adobe Creative Suite (or Canva at a minimum), able to produce on-brand visuals to a tidy standard without needing a designer for everything
• Comfortable in any mainstream CRM such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, or ActiveCampaign, with a good understanding of how lists, segments, and basic automation work, and the ability to pick up new platforms quickly
• Hands-on experience updating a website CMS such as WordPress, Webflow, or HubSpot CMS
• Solid working knowledge of LinkedIn and the basics of social content, including what works, what doesn't, and how to keep a feed active
• Genuinely happy spinning plates, with a preference for being useful across many areas rather than owning a single channel deeply
• Willing and curious about AI tools, which we use across the business and expect you to do the same

Useful but not essential:

• Experience marketing in B2B technology, cloud, data centres, or another technical sector
• Exposure to HubSpot specifically, as it is our core stack
• Basic video editing or familiarity with working alongside a videographer
• Event coordination experience, particularly trade shows or industry events

What You Get

• A business with serious market momentum and a nationally significant infrastructure pipeline
• Exposure to cloud, colocation, HPC, and AI. This is not a single-product company
• A small, supportive team where your work is visible and matters
• A modern office at Hamilton International Technology Park, with on-site parking and easy access from the M74
• Investment in your tools and AI fluency, with the support to learn and grow in the role
• Clear progression as the business scales
• 33 days annual leave
• Life assurance at 4x salary
• Group income protection at 70% of salary for up to 2 years
• Help@Hand: remote GP, physiotherapy, nutritionist, and more
• Cycle to Work and EV car salary sacrifice schemes
• 6 fully expensed company events per year
• Option to donate to charity through salary

If you think you could be a good fit for the role, read on to see if DataVita is the right fit for you. DataVita is not like most companies you have worked for. We are a hyper-growth technology business operating at the edge of AI, cloud, and critical national infrastructure. We are building something significant, and the pace, intensity, and ambition that comes with that is not for everyone. Most people who join a company like ours with the wrong expectations will struggle. Not because they lack talent, but because they are wired for a different type of environment. This is a role for people who want to be involved in building something, not just stepping through a process. There are great companies for that kind of work, but this is not one of them.

You should apply if:

• You are genuinely curious about technology and how it is changing the world, even outside your own specialism
• You would rather figure something out yourself than wait to be shown
• You challenge processes that do not make sense, even if nobody asked you to
• You are comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and not having all the answers
• You want to be part of building something, not just maintaining something
• You care about customers and take personal ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
• You learn in your own time because you find it interesting, not because you are told to
• You believe the best work happens when talented people are in the same room, collaborating at pace

You should not apply if:

• You need a clearly-defined role with a fixed set of responsibilities that rarely changes
• Your ideal week is mostly working independently from home, with limited time in the office
• You wait for formal training before engaging with new technology or new ways of working
• You follow processes without questioning whether they are the right processes
• You need close management and regular direction to stay productive
• You measure your value by completing tasks rather than by the impact of what you deliver
• You find rapid change stressful rather than energising

How to Apply

Apply with your CV and a short covering note. We do not need a formal cover letter — just tell us in a few sentences why this role interests you and what you would bring. Our interview process is designed to be honest and two-way. We want to find the right person, but we also want you to have a clear picture of what you are signing up for. We will not waste your time. If that all still sounds like you, we would genuinely like to hear from you.
