Description
Are you a creative, organised marketer who loves bringing brands to life? Do you enjoy creating engaging content, building email campaigns, and helping early-stage businesses grow? We're looking for a Marketing & Content Assistant to join an exciting, fast-growing consumer health startup. Working directly with the Founder, you'll play a key role in executing the brand's marketing strategy, creating content, and helping build a business from the ground up. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, working independently, and contributing ideas while supporting a founder focused on strategy and product development.
About the Role You'll primarily support our client with a pre-launch wellness brand focused on post-event recovery, while also providing occasional marketing support to a second health-tech brand. The Founder will provide the overall marketing direction and messaging—you'll be responsible for transforming those ideas into polished, customer-ready content and campaigns. The role is initially 20 hours per week, with the opportunity to increase to full-time as the business continues to grow.
