Marketing operations – Industrial placement

We’re on the lookout for a talented Marketing Operations placement student specialising in digital marketing operations to join our team in Bristol. We need your laser focused mind and analytical capability and in return you’ll get variety in projects, collaborative working, and a creative environment. We’ll help you to develop the skills and experience to make a real impact on our business – whilst supporting the delivery of valuable innovation incentives to UK businesses.

ForrestBrown is the UK’s leading research and development (R&D) tax consultancy. We’re passionate about R&D tax relief and how it, along with other innovation incentives such as Patent Box relief, helps UK businesses and the economy. Our mission is to help innovative businesses use R&D tax relief strategically to fuel their long-term growth. Whether it’s hiring new talent or building something remarkable, we see first-hand the positive impact R&D tax relief can have on a business.

You’ll be playing an integral part in our dedicated Marketing team who help to position ForrestBrown as the best-in-class provider of R&D tax advice in the UK.

What will I be doing?

• Support our marketing strategy by uploading key client information onto our CRM system to target and optimise lead generation across all channels.
• Create and launch digital media marketing campaigns using tools such as Salesforce, Pardot, Mailchimp and Survey Monkey.
• Partner with internal teams – particularly the Partnerships team to coordinate marketing efforts with our associations and accountants.
• Support project management of digital marketing campaigns including kick-off, execution, launch, and post-campaign reporting.
• Apply and develop your data handling and analytical techniques to client projects involving customer engagement and segmentation.
• Ability to organise a variety of large data sets.
• Manage the day-to-day website updates within WordPress.
• Assist in generating social media content.
• Be part of a team who are passionate about helping innovative businesses grow.

As strategic digital campaigns become increasingly more important for informing our target audience, you’ll be assigned meaningful projects designed to enrich and develop your understanding of digital marketing techniques whilst allowing you to perfect your data handling and analytical capabilities.

To be a great Marketing Operations placement at ForrestBrown, it’s fair to say you won’t need to know all the specifics of R&D tax already – that’s something we can teach you. Most importantly, you’ll have excellent analytical skills and will be comfortable finding your way around data sets in Microsoft Excel. You will be the kind of person who’s highly motivated and well-organised, solving problems quickly and efficiently. A confident communicator and team player, you’ll play a key role in ensuring we meet project deadlines as a collective. As well as using a detail-oriented approach, you’ll be driven, proactive and adaptable. And if you can add to all that a demonstrable interest in the operational side of marketing, you could be just the person we’re looking for.

To apply for this role, you’ll need to be a university undergraduate and be available to work in our Bristol office.

Closing date for applications: 14 April 2023.

Applications may close before the deadline, so please apply early to avoid disappointment.
