Content & Social Media Marketing Executive

Durham | £25,000 per annum | Full-time | Permanent

Help tell the Holdham story.

Holdham is growing quickly.

Across rail, travel, retail and major live experiences, there is an enormous amount happening – and we need somebody brilliant to help capture it, package it and tell people about it. We are looking for a Content & Social Media Marketing Executive to join our Marketing team in Durham.

This is a creative, hands-on role for somebody who loves content, understands social media and wants the freedom to produce work people actually notice. You might spend one day creating graphics and social content from our Durham headquarters.

The next, you could be photographing a train, filming behind the scenes at a major event, capturing content from one of our retail locations or supporting a campaign around one of Holdham’s biggest experiences. If you are creative, fast-moving, confident with a camera and full of ideas, we want to hear from you.

The role

You’ll work within the Holdham Marketing team, helping deliver content across the Group and its businesses.

You’ll support both day-to-day marketing activity and major campaigns, producing engaging content that reflects our brands properly and helps drive awareness, engagement and sales.

This role combines:

  • social media;
  • content creation;
  • graphic design;
  • photography;
  • videography;
  • video editing;
  • campaign support;
  • brand management; and
  • marketing administration.

We are not expecting you to sit at a desk all week. A big part of the job is being where the interesting things are happening.

Who we’re looking for

We’re much more interested in what you can actually create than whether your CV contains the perfect list of previous job titles.

We’re looking for somebody who:

  • genuinely understands social media;
  • has a strong eye for content;
  • can produce high-quality photography and video;
  • is comfortable editing short-form video;
  • has graphic design capability;
  • can write clear and engaging copy;
  • understands the importance of brand consistency;
  • has excellent attention to detail;
  • can organise their own workload;
  • works quickly without letting standards slip;
  • is confident bringing forward ideas;
  • can take feedback without becoming defensive;
  • enjoys being part of a team; and
  • is prepared to get involved rather than waiting to be told every next step.
