We're looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working Operations and Marketing Coordinator, someone who can keep the wheels turning behind the scenes and help make sure our business is seen, heard and followed.
What you'll be doing
This is a varied, fast-paced role that blends organisation with creativity. You'll:
* Support Directors and our Operations team, helping manage office life, support compliance, and keep our systems and reports up to date, as well as general administrative support
* Be the main point of contact for our strategic communications agency, making sure the latest news, successes and updates from our team are shared externally
* Proof, refine, and sign off LinkedIn and marketing content before it goes live
* Help plan and coordinate photography, events and CSR initiatives that showcase our people and culture
* Keep our website, brochures, and marketing materials fresh, accurate, and engaging
* Support our team in providing a consistent, professional brand image across LinkedIn
* Monitor industry news, client updates, and online activity to spot opportunities for our sales and marketing teams
What we're looking for
You'll be the kind of person who loves both detail and creativity, isn't afraid to use your initiative and share fresh ideas, and is just as happy working with a busy operational team as you are proofing a LinkedIn post. Ideally, you'll bring:
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Experience (or degree or strong interest) in marketing, content or PR
* Strong organisational and time management skills
* Confidence using Microsoft Office and CRM systems
* A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with great attention to detail
* A friendly, approachable style that builds trust with colleagues and partners
* An eagerness to learn from others and quickly build new skills
Why join us?
At Coleman James, you'll be part of a people-first team where your ideas, input and initiative really matter. We offer:
* The chance to shape how our business is seen across the market
* Direct involvement in PR, content and external communications
* Variety in your day, balancing operational responsibilities with creative projects
* A collaborative, supportive environment where you can grow and develop
* Working with one of the best operational teams in the business, who keep our processes and systems running smoothly to support our fantastic recruitment consultants
