The smol print

Applicants must have current work authorisation, and be based in the UK.

This is a remote role working from home, so you’ll need to be great at managing your own time and communicating online. We work flexibly at smol, within core hours to catch up with your team through channels like Slack and Asana. We regularly meet up to co-work or for meeting days, usually in London, but the team is based all over the UK.

You will be involved in a range of in person marketing campaigns too, which may call for you to attend photoshoots, be featured in smol social content and travel to support different activities we have going on across the UK, for example - meeting volunteers for our work with The Hygiene Bank charity. These can change throughout the year, so you will need to be reactive and confident to get involved with this change of scenery and meeting new people.

This role will be Monday to Friday, however you will sometimes be required on evenings or weekends throughout the year to support ad hoc activity online or in person, reflected with time in lieu.

Inclusion at smol

At smol we believe that a great team is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, beliefs and experience. we are an inclusive employer and will not discriminate on the grounds of race, colour, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression or disability.

Ensuring valuable and quality job opportunities for those who face barriers to employment is not only part and parcel of our social responsibility but it also brings great benefit to us as a business. giving people the chance to build up work skills, gain independence, earn a wage, develop strong self-esteem and to become just as strongly skilled as those who never faced employment barriers, is a process we remain committed to.

If you share our values and want to help make a difference, we'd love to hear from you, even if you haven't had experience working in a marketing team before, but have relevant transferable skills.
