The Opportunity

We're working with an established and growing business in Ossett who are looking for a Brand & Events Executive to join their marketing team.
This is a varied role combining brand marketing, events, exhibitions, campaigns and content, with a particular focus on creating engaging experiences that put the brand directly in front of its customers.
You'll work closely with the Group Marketing Manager, sales and commercial teams to plan and deliver everything from industry exhibitions and workshops to product launches, promotional campaigns and supporting digital activity.
It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, coordinating multiple moving parts and seeing an idea develop from initial concept through to execution.
