Is your typical ‘design day’ more like ‘groundhog day’?

At Velo no two days are the same. Working on a huge variety of B2B branding and marketing campaigns means every day is different. Under the stewardship of the Creative Director, the work is diverse, fast moving and engaging. You’ll be immersed ‘on the tools’ in various media from print, to websites and apps, videos, exhibition stands and everything in between.

Our creative team is the engine room of our business, producing fantastic looking projects that tell our clients’ stories. And they are diverse – across great B2B brands including Cisco, Halma, McGraw-Hill and Sage.

You could be part of our team, delivering campaigns that excite, dazzle and resonate.

At Velo we act as the marketing lead for our clients so this role is closer to a client-side Digital Marketing Manager than a traditional agency role. We are looking for someone with experience of funnel marketing - marketing a SAAS or subscription product would be ideal.

Our ideal candidate is a B2B digital marketing manager able to work with a range of our clients on their digital marketing campaigns. As a manager level professional with broad B2B marketing knowledge, you will have a well formed strategic and execution focused skillset. You will be someone who can both plan an effective, targeted campaign, but also build and execute activities for different channels.

You will know your way around ad platforms (particularly LinkedIn), understands the principles of SEO, be excited about writing clear marketing copy, have an appreciation for account-based marketing, and be comfortable with inbound marketing and automation activity.

You’ll be ready to dive in and get your hands dirty and act as the digital marketing manager for your allocated clients, operating very much as an extension to their teams.

You will work directly with activation tools planning campaigns, writing copy and implementing them taking responsibility for performance.

You'll enjoy the support of our wider team, but you will use your own knowledge and expertise to shape the work we do.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DEEP EXPERTISE OF MARKETING VIA LINKEDIN USING PAID (ADS AND INMAIL) AND ORGANIC METHODS.

You're most likely to have done this for a b2b company working in-house, or maybe within an existing agency. Your attention to detail will be high, you will be quick to learn and you'll have good, provable experience in a similar environment with at least 2 years in a similar role. Most of all you will be a positive, proactive person who is personable and excellent with people at all levels of an organisation as you will represent Velo daily in this client-facing role.

We'll provide a challenging role, in an agency which is small enough that everyone's voice is heard, but large enough to do mighty work. With a generous training budget, and the chance to work directly with clients that span the great and the good of B2B, every day will be different.
