You’ll also be collating the key MI data for the team to analyse the impact of content on social media sites.

You will also work with our Technical Sales and Marketing Team to help optimise and coordinate commercial content for clients.

This is a remote position so your time keeping, ability to manage your outputs and your organisation skills are paramount. Working within the industries that we do, we take immense pride in the quality and professionalism of the services and the content we provide for our readers and clients and we expect our team members to reflect this in all their communications whether formal or informal.
