- Maintain accurate client and prospect mailing lists.
- Research suitable prospective clients within agreed business sectors.
- Add, update and organise prospect information using spreadsheets, databases or our CRM system.
- Support follow-up activity resulting from social media, email and other marketing campaigns.
- Produce marketing materials such as presentations, leaflets, brochures and digital content.
- Liaise with external website, design and marketing providers when required.
- Track basic marketing results, including engagement, website enquiries and campaign responses.
- Ensure all published material is accurate, professional and consistent with our company brand.
- Handle client and prospect information responsibly and confidentially.
- Provide general administrative support for marketing and business-development projects.

- The ability to manage agreed tasks independently and meet deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail, particularly when preparing content for publication.
- Confidence using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
- Experience using Canva or similar design software.
- Experience maintaining spreadsheets, databases, CRM records or mailing lists.
- A basic understanding of email-marketing platforms and website content-management systems.
- An understanding of SEO and website analytics would be beneficial.
- A proactive attitude, with the confidence to suggest ideas and improvements.
- The ability to communicate and work effectively with colleagues and external suppliers.
- Previous experience in insurance, financial services or another regulated industry would be advantageous but is not essential.
