Junior Email & Website Content Assistant
Salary: £23,132.20 per year, with progression up to £27,000
Hours: 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with a one-hour unpaid lunch break each day
Location: Nottingham / Remote
Hi there!
We're looking for a responsible, organised and enthusiastic Junior Email & Website Content Assistant to join our growing Content Delivery team.
First things first, what exactly is Content Delivery?
We're a marketing agency specialising in financial services, helping financial advisers and planners with their marketing.
One of the ways we do this is by producing regular blogs and email newsletters for our clients.
That's where our Content Delivery team comes in.
Our writers create the content. Our Content Delivery team makes sure it reaches the right people, in the right format, at the right time.
In practice, that means taking blogs and articles written by our Content team, uploading them to our clients' websites, building and formatting email newsletters, checking everything is accurate, and making sure it's all delivered on time.
We typically upload more than 1,000 blogs to client websites and build and send more than 300 email newsletters every month.
That's a lot of content, and every piece needs to meet our high standards.
This isn't primarily a content writing or creative marketing role.
It's a hands-on, detail-focused role that involves working with websites, email marketing platforms, spreadsheets and established processes to deliver a consistently excellent service.
If you're someone who enjoys getting things right, keeping things organised and ticking tasks off your to-do list, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
What will you be doing?
No two days are the same, but your main responsibilities will include:
- Uploading blogs to client websites: Taking completed articles and uploading them to WordPress and other website platforms, making sure headings, images, links and formatting are correct.
- Building email newsletters: Using platforms such as Dotdigital and Mailchimp to turn approved content into professional, branded email newsletters for our clients.
- Testing and checking content: Proofreading, checking links, reviewing formatting and making sure everything looks and works as it should before it goes live.
- Managing client data: Working with Excel and email marketing platforms to upload, update and maintain mailing lists.
- Preparing images: Selecting, resizing and formatting images so they're suitable for websites and email newsletters.
- Keeping everything on track: Managing your workload, following our processes and making sure tasks are completed accurately and on time.
- Communicating with clients: Responding to queries, requesting approvals and keeping clients updated, primarily by email but occasionally by phone or video call.
You’ll be working alongside a supportive team who will help you learn our systems and processes.
What are we looking for?
Above all, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their work.
With hundreds of blogs and newsletters going out every month, even small mistakes matter. An incorrect link, a missing image or an email sent to the wrong audience can make a big difference.
So, you'll need to be someone who:
- Has an exceptional eye for detail. You notice the little things, from typos and inconsistent spacing to incorrect links and formatting.
- Is organised and reliable. You can manage multiple tasks, prioritise your workload and meet deadlines without compromising on quality.
- Is comfortable using technology. You're confident learning new systems and working with different software platforms.
- Enjoys structured, process-driven work. You understand that some tasks are repetitive, but you take just as much care with the hundredth newsletter as you do with the first.
- Communicates clearly and professionally. You're comfortable working with colleagues and clients, asking questions when needed and keeping people updated.
- Is open to feedback. You're happy to learn, improve and take responsibility for the quality of your work.
- Works well as part of a team. You're happy to support colleagues, share knowledge and roll your sleeves up when things get busy.
What experience would be useful?
It would be great if you've previously worked with:
- WordPress or other content management systems
- Email marketing platforms such as Dotdigital, Mailchimp or HubSpot
- Microsoft Excel and other office software
- Image editing or resizing tools
Don't tick every box? Don't worry.
We're recruiting for a junior position, so we don't expect you to know everything from day one.
If you've got some relevant experience, strong IT skills, a brilliant eye for detail and the right attitude, we'd still love to hear from you.
A fast-growing, busy and social team
We're The Yardstick Agency, a marketing agency specialising in the financial services profession.
We work with financial advisers and planners, as well as networks, investment houses and product providers.
That's a great thing because it means we really understand the people we work with and what they need from their marketing.
We've grown rapidly since our head honcho, Phil Bray, started the business in 2017, and we're always looking for talented people to help us continue improving what we do.
Our office is in the heart of Nottingham's Creative Quarter, just a few minutes from bus, tram and train stations.
Prefer working from home? That's fine too.
We're a friendly, supportive team who work hard, help each other out and take pride in delivering great work for our clients.
As Steve Jobs once said:
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
Now you know how we got our name!

Please let us know if you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process so we can give you the best possible experience.
Salary, progression and benefits
Salary: £23,132.20 per year, with the opportunity to progress up to £27,000 as you develop your skills and experience.
You’ll also benefit from:
- The option to work from our Nottingham office or remotely
- 25 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays
- Your birthday off!
- A pension scheme from day one
- Education reimbursement to support your development
- Company events and social hours
- Access to our retained therapists (we know how important it is that we all look after our mental health).
If you're someone who enjoys working with technology, takes pride in getting the details right and wants to be part of a busy, supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
