What are we looking for?

Well, we’re open minded as to your background – but it is vital that you have a very keen eye for detail of course. If you’ve worked in a creative environment previously, such as advertising or marketing (or even better still, branding/packaging) then perfect. However, if you are working in a role or domain that requires painstaking attention to detail (for example, legal), and have a personal passion for all things creative, then we would no doubt still be keen to speak to you. An academic background that included English or Communications would also no doubt be beneficial.

What else? Well, you will enjoy an excellent base salary, along with the other benefits of working for Marks, which includes,

25 days holiday per annum + additional 'Me Day'

Flexible working during summer hours

Pension Scheme

Voluntary SGS Europe Group Healthcare Scheme

Life Assurance

Healthcare Digital GP Service

Holiday purchase scheme

Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme

City Bike Scheme (London only)

Employee referral program

And of course, it goes without saying that we are committed to Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, therefore welcome and encourage applications from all. Marks prides itself on a truly inclusive culture at all levels that respects different opinions and points of view, providing everyone with the opportunity to experience connection and sense of belonging.

We anticipate high levels of interest in this opportunity, therefore we urge you to apply promptly.
