Marketing Intern
Location: North Oxford
Type: Internship
Hours: Full-time or part-time available
About the Role
This is a hands-on internship for someone who wants to understand how marketing works inside a growing customer brand. You will work closely with the founder and wider team, helping us develop and deliver marketing activity across our shop, website, social channels, email marketing, product launches and wholesale business.
Because we are a small team, you will have the opportunity to see projects from idea through to execution rather than working on only one small part of the marketing process.
Full-time or part-time available; we are open to discussing a working pattern that suits the right candidate.
Responsibilities
- Contacting prospective stockists and following up leads.
- Preparing wholesale information and spreadsheets.
- Managing existing accounts.
- Tracking samples and orders.
- Supporting photography, video and behind-the-scenes content.
- Assisting with email campaigns and newsletters.
- Supporting seasonal campaigns, events and in-store activity.
- Helping maintain the marketing calendar.
- Reviewing campaign and website performance.
- Contributing ideas for campaigns and content.
Requirements
We are looking for people who are curious, organised and enthusiastic about learning. You do not need to have extensive professional marketing experience, but you should be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in marketing, branding, content or retail.
Essential
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Highly organised and motivated, able to manage several small projects at once.
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team.
- Good attention to detail.
- Strong interpersonal skills.
Helpful but not essential
- Wholesale or retail experience.
- Experience with Faire, Shopify and other wholesale platforms.
- Experience with Canva, photography and video editing.
We are not looking for someone who already knows everything. We are looking for someone who learns quickly, communicates well and is willing to get involved.
By the end of the internship, you should have a much stronger understanding of how a growing brand plans campaigns, launches products, creates content and uses marketing to support retail, e-commerce and wholesale growth.
