Marketing Apprentice in Manchester

AXD is a small digital marketing agency helping ambitious businesses and founders build their brands, generate leads, and grow through smart strategy, standout content, and high‑performing digital marketing. We work across personal brand growth, sales enablement, and full‑service marketing for a portfolio of clients, and we’re growing. We’re building a team of organised, proactive people who take real ownership of their work. If you love structure, hate loose ends, and get a kick out of seeing measurable results, you’ll fit right in.

About the role: You’ll support the Account Director with the delivery of client and agency marketing activity through hands‑on execution, coordination, and organisation — while developing core marketing skills with structured support from the Digital Marketing Manager and Directors. This role is perfect for someone early in their marketing career who is naturally super organised. You’ll be juggling content schedules, client requests, organising events, and admin across multiple accounts so we need someone who keeps everything planned, tracked, and on time — and who genuinely enjoys bringing order to a busy workload.

Responsibilities:

• Social media & content execution: Schedule and publish social media content. Manage content across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Handle community engagement — comments, messages, and interactions — with timely responses.
• Digital & content support: Update website copy and images; create basic web pages and landing pages (e.g. Framer, Webflow – training will be given). Manage and update blog content, including blog and article writing. Assist with email marketing campaigns. Support video content with basic editing.
• Social growth: Assist with growing social accounts: adding relevant connections, engaging with posts, following relevant accounts. Monitor engagement and activity, produce basic performance reports (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok).
• Account & campaign support: Support the Client Account Director on key accounts: campaign setup, client setup, social account creation.
• Events, admin & organisation: Plan and coordinate events: bookings, logistics, and materials; attend events where required. Support creation of proposals, documents and marketing & sales documents/resources. Keep Monday.com boards fully up to date and ensure all files are saved and organised correctly.
• Design management: Submit design briefs provided by our team to our design partner. Manage the design workload in Monday.com and liaise with the team to set priorities.

Required skills:

• Some experience in either marketing, social media, or content — through work, placements, or running your own channels.
• Super organised, knows how to prioritise, and keep track of multiple things at once.
• Strong written English and a good eye for detail.
• Confident with social platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok) and quick to pick up new tools.
• A proactive, can‑do attitude — you’d rather solve a problem than wait to be told.

Entry requirements:

• 3 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades 4+ (A‑C) in any subject.
• GCSE Maths and English (or equivalents) at grades 3+ (D or above).
• Prospective apprentices must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level as this apprenticeship in a similar subject.
• You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.
• If you hold international equivalents of the above qualifications, at the time of your application you must be able to provide an official document that states how your international qualifications compare to the UK qualifications.

Working hours: 8:30 am – 5 pm Monday – Thursday, 8:30 am – 4 pm Friday (We generally do work from home on Fridays too).
