About the Role
With this key maternity cover role in our Marketing team, you will play a central role in shaping how Alitex shares its beautiful products and busy event schedule across many channels and communities. This is a proactive, insight-led role focused on delivering a marketing strategy that reflects our unique brand position and supports long-term growth.
At its heart, the role is about engaging our customers, partners, prospects, and horticultural professionals in creative, thoughtful, and commercially effective ways - driving awareness, consideration, and advocacy. You will help bring our brand vision to life, ensuring every touchpoint - from website and social media to print and events - delivers a consistent, premium brand experience.
As Alitex expands into the United States, you will also support our international growth, working closely with the US team to build brand presence in a new market.
This role combines brand building with performance marketing, including responsibility for PPC, SEO and selective print media. With CRM-led insight you will balance strategic priorities with day-to-day community management. You will also oversee e-commerce through The Potting Shed, ensuring a seamless customer journey.
Office hours are 8am to 5pm (for 40hrs/week Monday – Friday), but the nature of the role will require work outside of these hours and at weekends, in which time off in lieu will be provided.
Salary: £35,000+ per annum depending on experience. Ideally 5+ years’ experience in marketing.
