Digital manager, content management, google tools, part remote, part basildon

Digital Manager, Content Management, Google Tools, Part Remote, Part Basildon Digital Manager required to work for a fast growing company based in Basildon, Essex. However, this is mainly remote and you will only be expected to go into the Basildon office circa once or twice a month. The role requires someone with a hybrid creative/technical mind: a high standard of digital skills (e.g. good HTML skills, with knowledge of common Content Management Systems, Social Media channels, email marketing and Google Ads), and familiarity with popular digital tools, combined with good content development skills (i.e. a capable writer, with an eye for design, and excellent attention to detail) and the enthusiasm to learn quickly, on-the-job. Knowledge and prior experience of website Accessibility would be a bonus too. Read on for more details… Experience required: Digital Tools: You should have a good knowledge of popular digital development tools (such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Trello, and Canva/Photoshop etc) - or have confidence in your ability to pick them up with little tutoring. Ideally, you will be familiar with the Umbraco CMS but, failing that, experience with other popular CMS’ is a must. Content Production: You should have great writing skills - with the ability to produce persuasive and engaging copy yourself, targeted at a variety of audiences, while working to tight deadlines (NOTE: while we permit the use of AI and assisted technologies, you need to be able to demonstrate good writing and editing skills yourself too - and may be asked to produce sample work). Ideally, you will also have a very good eye for design (i.e. 'look and feel’) and be capable of producing visual content yourself (using tools, such as Adobe or Canva). Knowledge of other content areas - such as AI Voiceover technology, video editing and production, or animation - are all great nice-to-have skills, although these don’t necessarily need to have been gained professionally. However, an eagerness to learn, develop and then share new skills is a key expectation of this role. Digital Skills: You should have a working knowledge across the digital development and marketing mix in the UK - particularly when it comes to technical matters. This should certainly include Search Engine Optimisation, User Experience and Accessible web design. But experience of Google Ads, social media, and email marketing production (i.e. newsletters and other communications) is desirable too. Ideally, you will have managed and optimised a Google for Nonprofits Ad Grant before. But, if not, you should know your way around a standard Ad Words account (and other paid search and social accounts) - and understand how best to maintain optimal performance. Work Experience: You should have worked for a similar UK-wide organisation, serving UK- based consumers and/or businesses - and be very familiar with their demands and ways of working. Ideally, you will have worked for a non-profit or membership organisation here in the UK, and have good knowledge of setting up and optimising Google Ad Grant campaigns. This is a great opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience. Apply now for more details…
