Communications, Marketing & Events Coordinator
About Us
We're a small team of highly experienced specialists who design and construct Velosolutions Pump Tracks and Mountain Bike Trails. We're a design and build company that oversees every aspect of the project from start to finish.
We take on all sizes of construction projects from working with volunteer MTB trail advocacy groups in our local woods, to being the principal contractor on major builds.
We are a passionate and lively team of mountain bikers who love what we do, and love the team and culture that we've created. If you love riding, or at least have a passion for outdoor sports, then this could be an amazing opportunity for the right person.
About the Role
We're looking for a full-time versatile marketing coordinator who can balance strategic communications, content creation, and event coordination.
At Velosolutions UK, our marketing needs to speak to three key audiences:
* Riders & Communities (B2C) – to build hype, credibility, and grassroots support
* Community Advocates (B2B2C) – campaigners and local heroes who initiate and drive projects
* Clients & Decision Makers (B2B) – councils, developers, and funders who commission tracks and trails
It's a versatile and varied position: one day may consist of strategic planning while the next will be on-site filming and posting a reel or coordinating an opening event. (No two days will be the same)
Location
This role is based at our Bristol office, where you'll be part of our core team day to day. You'll also have the chance to travel (expenses paid) to visit and muck in at our trail and pump track projects, experience the places we build first hand, and host events across the UK.
