The Role
At Notpla, we’re at the forefront of sustainable innovation, creating natural alternatives to single use plastic packaging that are carefully engineered to help build a healthier planet. Founded on the belief that nature is our North Star, we’re an innovative, action oriented scale up developing and manufacturing uncompromisingly natural packaging solutions from seaweed and plants.
We are looking for a creative, digitally savvy and highly organised Marketing Manager to join our Marketing & Communications team. This is a hands on, creative role with a strong focus on storytelling, content creation, social and digital marketing, integrated campaign execution and exceptional project management.
Working closely with our Head of Marketing, in house creative team and commercial colleagues, you'll conceive, create and deliver campaigns that build brand awareness, engage our audiences and support commercial growth. You'll be a confident doer and maker: developing content yourself, as well as collaborating with designers and partners, and taking projects from initial idea through execution and measurement.
Our office first working culture promotes a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere while maximising productivity. We’re a social business with regular clubs and events, and we’re proud of how our diverse, mission driven community works together to make plastic disappear.
We're particularly excited by someone who has already put AI to work in a practical marketing setting, whether by improving content workflows, building automations, streamlining research or introducing more effective systems. You'll be curious, experimental and able to show the impact of what you've implemented.
To succeed, you'll combine creative thinking with meticulous organisation, commercial awareness and a proactive, solutions focused approach. You'll be comfortable managing several work streams at once and confident taking responsibility for outcomes.
