Summary
This is a Maternity cover role based on a FTC of 10 months, starting in June 2024.
Hewitt Matthews is searching for a Sales & Marketing Assistant to join our expanding team, helping us in our ambitious plans to scale up and grow across the UK.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a multi-faceted position that is ideally suited to a flexible, methodical, ideas-driven and hard-working individual.
We see this role being evenly split between both marketing & sales support, so flexibility is needed as the workload fluctuates on both sides.
The successful applicant will have ideally been working in a marketing related role with a level of familiarity & understanding of sales processes already.
The individual will also be able to demonstrate experience and understanding of how to market a digital agency.
The role needs a wide range of marketing abilities, skills and experience from supporting the founders personal brand and content strategy to creating thought leadership pieces and helping to organise events. We are looking for someone who is hands-on and has the ability to think & plan strategically.
The role is very autonomous and proactivity is a must-have trait so, this would best suit a driven self-starter with strong initiative.
The role will involve the continuous building of the processes & strategy already produced & being executed by the member of staff who will be taking maternity leave. To ensure this happens, there will be a sufficient handover period.
You will be required to create, plan and execute a marketing strategy. To be clear we need a well organised and personable marketing professional who can own the role in their own right, not someone who needs to be managed. This role would not suit someone who is only a digital marketer, the skills needed are to be much more rounded.

- Freedom to create your own thought leadership events, roundtables and social events
- Helping owners develop their personal brands and points of view online and offline
- Writing and assisting with the structuring of proposals
- Inputting on existing sales processes & pitching
- Building and maintaining customer relationships from the start
- Research business networking events and conferences for the company founders to attend
- Supporting personal branding and thought leadership of founders and wider team
- Supporting our account manager with their client marketing
- Researching and assisting with the formation of strategic partnerships and alliances
- Managing award and league table entries

- Any experience in how the following technologies work would be advantageous:
--HubSpot

We’re committed to building a truly exceptional place to work.
