Marketing and Communications Assistant POST NUMBER: 478177

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Serve as the primary marketing contact for the sales team — fielding requests, running brief sessions, and delivering polished collateral (presentations, proposals, leave-behinds, and more)
• Manage the full lifecycle of sales materials — from initial request all the way through to a final, approved, and filed deliverable
• Build clean, professional decks in PowerPoint and assemble materials in Canva using brand templates and guidelines
• Coordinate with external designers and creative suppliers — briefing clearly, following up reliably, and keeping things on track
• Support bids and proposals by pulling together credentials, case studies, and supporting materials using AI tools where appropriate
• Attend sales meetings and provide marketing support independently — no hand-holding required

You're Probably a Great Fit If...

• You've supported a sales team before and know how to translate "can you make something for this pitch?" into a real, structured brief
• You're a PowerPoint power user — you can make a deck look sharp, structured, and on-brand without needing a designer to hold your hand
• You're organized to a slightly alarming degree — clear file names, logical folder structures, no mystery documents
• You don't freeze up when priorities shift at 4pm — you adapt, reprioritize, and still deliver
• You've managed external creative suppliers and know how to give a design brief that makes sense
• You communicate clearly and professionally — whether that's a Teams message to a salesperson or a status update to a senior stakeholder

Must-Have Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in a sales support or sales enablement role (building presentations, proposals, and collateral)
• Strong project management skills — you can manage multiple priorities and deadlines without dropping the ball
• Ability to work independently with minimal direction and take ownership of deliverables end-to-end
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including confidence communicating with senior stakeholders
• Experience coordinating external vendors — designers, copywriters, or other creative partners
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with experience working in fast-paced environments
• Comfortably translating vague or incomplete requests into clear, structured deliverables

MUST HAVE:

• Experience with MS Office Suite – PowerPoint and Teams, Canva, SharePoint, Google Drive, Trello, Notion and AI tools
• Experience coordinating photo or video production
• Familiarity with Canva or light Adobe tools for assembling and formatting materials
