Creative, digital, development and editorial vacancies – Connect Communications

CLOSING DATE: April 26, 2013

This is an exciting time to work in publishing, and an even more exciting time to come and work for Connect – one of the UK’s largest content marketing agencies.

We are embarking on a major expansion of our business, developing exciting new digital products and services to provide the publishing solutions the market is looking for.

This comes on the back of a year when we swept the board at a number of industry awards, and won a series of exciting new contracts with major international clients.

If you have a passion for publishing, communications and marketing we want to hear from you.

A number of immediate opportunities exist at our headquarters in Paisley:

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE

You will have a key role driving our ambitious growth plans. You’ll be helping to market our business, create opportunities, develop services and products and close deals. You’ll be super confident and experienced, with a great contacts book. You’ll be flexible, able and prepared for frequent travel. And most importantly, you’ll be properly rewarded for your success.

ACCOUNT MANAGER

An accomplished all-round professional communicator with a serious journalistic pedigree, you’ll be excited by a job that offers variety and a constant opportunity to develop yourself. You’ll be producing corporate marketing literature, magazines and cutting-edge digital publications and will be comfortable writing great copy. Ideally, we would like you to have some knowledge of InDesign. You’ll have superb people skills, and be able to build long-lasting relationships with your clients. You’ll be entrepreneurial, ready and able to spot an opportunity to improve, and have the tenacity to see every job you do through to its conclusion.

WEB DEVELOPER

If you think code is cool – then we have a job for you! Working with people from across the business, you’ll be a key player in our drive to push our digital products to the next level. Proficient in all of the tools available today (and prepared to learn those of tomorrow) – you will be responsible for building and supporting websites, e-newsletter campaigns, digital marketing collateral and bespoke digital publications. You’ll have some degree of client contact, so will be confident articulating your knowledge to people with varying degrees of technical experience.

JUNIOR DESIGNER

The first rung on the ladder is often the hardest one to reach. But here we have a rare chance for someone leaving college or university with a design qualification to kick-start their career. Working with senior colleagues, you’ll be involved in all aspects of designing our publications – from concept to completion.

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Having recently left college or university with a qualification in publishing in journalism, you’ll be prepared to earn while you learn. Supporting the entire business to run smoothly, you’ll not be too proud to make a cuppa or two – or too intimidated to interview a senior executive of one of our clients. This exciting role will give you a terrific grounding in our business, and be the perfect stepping stone to bigger things.

The closing date for all the above applications is 26 April, so make sure you don’t miss a career-changing opportunity.
