12 month Placement - Marketing

Job description

We’re an omni channel retail business, founded in the mid 1980’s in Liverpool and proud of our continued ability to offer our customers high quality products at great prices. With over 230 stores in the UK, a rapidly growing online presence and a diverse product range, working here is exciting, challenging, and above all fun!

We’re committed to supporting those at the start of their career in Retail and our 12 month Paid Media Marketing placement offers a unique insight into the industry due to the variety of areas we cover. You’ll have the opportunity to spend time in one or many of the specialist disciplines within our Paid Media Marketing team, SEO, Paid Search, Affiliates, Paid Social, Display, ATL planning, Partnerships & Campaign Strategy, giving you the opportunity to develop and progress on your placement, and gaining knowledge to help in your future Marketing career.

With the benefits of a dedicated on-boarding & training programme, it won’t be long before you’re involved in every step of the process and your opinion will really count – something that sets us apart from other placement opportunities.

You will be managed and mentored by a number of managers and team members across the Marketing Team based upon what area(s) you spend time in, building strong relationships that will hopefully last way beyond the time you spend with us for your internship. You will also have frequent catch-ups with our Senior Omnichannel Marketing Manager, who is ultimately responsible for ensuring you have a fantastic year with us.
