Marketing Account Manager (Henchperson)

About Evil Empire Marketing

Hello. Thanks for checking out our job vacancy! We are Evil Empire, a marketing agency with ambitions for world domination…

OK, that might be a bit of a stretch. In reality, we work with ambitious SMEs across the UK from diverse sectors, delivering memorable campaigns that make a real impact.

We’re real people too – and we’re not actually evil, we’re nice. Our team is close‑knit, collaborative and growing. We’re skilled professionals who work hard to support the great clients we work with, and we definitely do not undertake any diabolical schemes.

The role

Wait.. are you a confident and established marketing manager who wants to play a pivotal role in the growth of an innovative local agency where no two days are the same?

What a coincidence – you’re exactly the type of person we’re looking for! You’d make a great henchperson.

The successful candidate will work directly with the CEO to help manage and develop the business, handling key accounts and client relationships as well as forging new ones through business development activities.

This role is varied, where you will be involved in hands-on marketing for clients across the full range of the marketing mix, from campaign planning and content creation, to writing copy, publishing press releases and capturing video / photography that makes our clients’ brands stand out.

It’s perfect for someone (like you) who is organised, creative and confident working across multiple projects. You will be equally comfortable managing client relationships and bidding for new work as much as you will rolling your sleeves up and delivering marketing projects yourself.

Come on. Join the empire.
