Sales and Marketing Manager

SALES & MARKETING MANAGER

We’re looking for a well-connected Birmingham Sales & Marketing Manager to join our creative comms team at The Wilderness, Atelier Birmingham (and our future, currently top secret, but definitely very awesome, venues). Looking to work in comms for boundary-pushing indie brands in Birmingham? This one’s for you…

The role will be varied, at times challenging, but always interesting, with scope to unleash your potential and bring your creativity and personality to a varied array of projects and platforms. Supported by our Creative Director and Head of Brand & Comms you’ll become an integral part of our brand, shaping what we do and how we shout about it.

The right candidate will have at least 2 years’ experience in a similar role (marketing, PR, sales, or events – we’re open to people from a variety of backgrounds). You’ll have your finger on the pulse of Birmingham’s independent scene and have an interest in the hospitality sector in the UK and beyond. You’ll always be on the hunt for new opportunities, love awesome indie brands and homegrown talent, be passionate about building your network of badass Brummies, and will always be looking for ways to bring creative and collaborative ideas to life.

This is a head office role working mainly from our venues in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. Applications close 30thApril 2023.

WHO ARE YOU?

· Experienced in building a brand from the ground up – you’ll be getting stuck in and becoming a face and voice for our brands in Birmingham and beyond.

· Well-connected within the Birmingham hospitality industry, with an interest in homegrown indie brands across a variety of sectors in the city.

· Always on the hunt for new opportunities – whether it’s cool collabs, events, private hires, network building or brand partnerships, you’re interested in building long-lasting and impactful relationships.

· Experience in social and digital marketing would be beneficial but it’s not a dealbreaker – however, an appetite to learn and grow in this area is essential.

· Experience in managing budgets for print and digital content preferred, but not essential.

· Great with data, able to interrogate figures and spot opportunities for growth.

· Sociable, with a hunger for being out and about.

· Organised, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

· Ready and willing to get stuck in – we’re a small, independent, owner-operated team and we support each other in everything we do.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

· Decent pay - £28,000 - £32,000 salary, dependent on experience.

· Bonus scheme.

· Opportunities for growth – you’ll have a dedicated HR manager to support your career goals and training needs, as well as being part of a growing family of indie brands.

· Flexible working options.

· You’ll be supported by a collaborative team of comms and hospitality pros, including our Owner/Creative Director, Head of Brand & Comms and Guest Services & Restaurant Managers, as well as a gang of mega talented freelance photographers, videographers and graphic designers.

· All the normal things one can expect from a decent employer (holiday pay, parental leave, training, team socials, etc)
