Marketing Co-ordinator

About The Job

is looking to fill this vacancy 07/08/08

Due to the continued expansion of the company, we have an exciting opportunity within our Marketing Department. After initial training, the successful candidate will be responsible for assisting the Marketing Manager in all areas of the Company’s Marketing Programme which includes advertising, press releases, brochure production, database management and e-mail marketing.

Whilst being a diverse role there is one key area of responsibility which is managing the Company’s Advertising and Business Opportunities Programme: The successful person will be solely responsible for this area and this will involve negotiating rates, building relationships and liaising on a regular basis with various media outlets (magazines, publications etc) as well as spotting potential business opportunities and approaching other organisations such as tourist boards, airlines and hoteliers in order to negotiate monetary assistance with our marketing campaigns. It is therefore essential that the successful candidate will have strong negotiating skills and business development experience.

This position is a full time role. Office hours are 7 ½ hrs per day Monday to Friday. The company operates a Flexible Working Programme for all full time staff, which allows staff to choose on a weekly basis the “band” they would like to work. The bands are as follows:

Band A 08.00 – 16.30hrs

Band B 08.30 – 17.00hrs

Band C 09.00 – 17.30hrs

Band D 09.30 – 18.00hrs

Band E 10.00 – 18.30hrs

Whilst the Flexible Working Programme is intended to give flexibility to all full time staff it is also important to ensure that all departments are covered between the hours of 08.30 – 17.30 and therefore it is at the discretion of each Departmental Manager to change the bands of their staff accordingly if necessary.
