Department: Marketing & Communications
Location: Aberdeen
About the Role
Global is looking for an experienced Creative Marketing Specialist to join the Group Comms & Marketing Team.
The role will support marketing activity across a group of businesses within Global's energy portfolio, working closely with the wider Comms & Marketing Team and stakeholders across the businesses to deliver high-quality marketing and creative communications. This is a hybrid marketing and creative role, with a stronger emphasis on creative delivery, combining a good understanding of marketing and communications with strong visual judgement and practical design capability.
The role will cover a broad range of marketing activity, including content creation, social media, website content, campaigns, brand application, presentations and proposals, events and wider marketing collateral. The successful candidate will be expected to understand the audience, objective, message and channel behind the work, contribute ideas and help determine the most effective way to communicate it.
A strong creative eye will be important, along with the practical capability to turn ideas, information and briefs into polished, professional and brand-consistent communications. This will include presentations, proposals, reports, case studies, brochures, capability statements, campaign assets, social and digital content and other marketing materials using Adobe Creative Cloud, PowerPoint, Canva and Microsoft products. A good understanding of layout, typography, imagery, information hierarchy and visual storytelling will be important, particularly when translating complex technical or operational information into clear, engaging and client-ready materials.
There will also be opportunities to support wider Group marketing activity across campaigns, content, events, internal communications and brand development. The role would suit someone who enjoys working across both marketing and creative delivery - a marketer with particularly strong creative capability, or a creative professional with a good understanding of marketing and communications. Experience using AI-powered design and content tools would also be highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities
