Alongside the marketing and PR you’ll play an important supporting role in helping the office run smoothly - acting as the company go-to person and ensuring a well-organised, welcoming environment. You will be coordinating basic office operations, suppliers, and day-to-day queries.

What you’ll be doing

No two days look quite the same, but you’ll be:

• Crafting and sharing monthly newsletters that keep our partners informed, inspired and engaged
• Supporting the creation of retailer campaigns with the Marketing team

• Coordinating influencer campaigns and social media competitions, from sourcing products to making sure they land in the right hands
• Organising events, press moments and bi-annual gift guides 
• Maintaining media lists, calendars and sustainability databases

• Tracking PR performance and digging into competitor activity to spot trends and opportunities
• Helping build a culture where great PR coverage is shared, celebrated and learned from.

What you’ll bring

• Exceptional organisation skills 
• Strong writing skills (clear, engaging, and on-brand)
• A collaborative mindset and confidence-building relationships with different teams and partners
• A creative eye and attention to detail
• Solid Microsoft Office skills (especially PowerPoint and Excel)

• Working knowledge of Photoshop and InDesign.
• 
  

Bonus points if you have:

• An understanding of brand marketing or partnerships
• A genuine interest in kids’ brands, characters or IP (UK and beyond).

You’re someone who:

• Loves spinning multiple plates - and somehow keeping them all in the air
• Takes initiative and solves problems before they become problems
• Picks things up quickly and isn’t afraid to dive into something new
• Shares ideas, insights and learnings with the team
• Brings energy, curiosity and a sense of ownership to everything you do.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, and is happy to roll up their sleeves. The role is office-based, five days a week.
