Marketing Executive (12-month fixed-term contract)

Elevator pitch: the company. Us. Runway East.

Did you want to grow up and work in a boring office? Us neither. Since 2014, Runway East has been on a mission to destroy boring offices.

We run flexible workspaces in London, Bristol, Bath, Birmingham and Brighton for teams of 1 to 100, with everything from dogs on demand to our famous Friday drinks trolley.

We're a B Corp, so we care about our impact on the planet and the people in it. We're also growing: we've opened three new sites this year, with more on the way.

Elevator pitch: the job. It's a great job. We promise.

Are you looking for your first role in marketing?

We’re offering a 12 month fixed term contract in our marketing team (with the mutual option of one 6 month extension), where you’ll assist our experienced team as we launch new buildings, build our brand, and have fun doing it.

You’ll bring a can-do attitude, ambition, and a hunger to learn.

We’ll ensure you get experience across every aspect of marketing - from brand to growth, asset creation to social media management - and also give you up to £1500 to support your professional development during your contract, providing the perfect spring board for you into your next role in marketing.

A note on why this is a fixed-term role

We’ve designed this as a 12-month development role, with the option of one 6-month extension if we both want it. We’re upfront about why.

Our marketing team is three senior marketers, so there isn’t a mid-level role to step into afterwards, and it wouldn’t be fair to advertise a long-term job with nowhere to grow. Instead, we want to give someone a year of broad, hands-on experience and real help moving into their next marketing role.

So this is for someone who sees it as a springboard rather than a destination, whether you’re starting out or changing career.

• A bit of everything - you’ll be there to help our senior marketers when they need assistance - that could be tying balloons (carefully) into an actor's hair for a video shoot, researching a new market, or planning our content calendar! All that and more are available in this role.
• Keeping our content up to date - we have 500+ offices. They require up to date collateral - photos, floorplans, 360’s - where possible. Is it glamorous? No. Is it a fundamentally crucial part of marketing, with ample room for automation? Yes.
• Growing our brand - blog posts, scheduling social media calendars, editing newsletters, assisting with content creation, enlisting founders and CEO’s from our member base into interviews and more - all in a day's work.
• Help fill up new sites - when a new building opens, make sure every digital and physical asset is ready on time.

• Ambitious - you’re keen to learn and grow into a marketing professional.
• Organised and accurate - you keep track of lots of moving parts, spot what's missing and hit your deadlines.
• A good writer - you can write clear, lively copy and can pick up a tone of voice, and you pay attention to detail. If you’re a human, don’t, or remove the edit. Ours is relaxed, with a bit of cheek.
• Tech-minded - you pick up new tools quickly, you've used AI tools for writing or research, and you check their work before it goes anywhere.
• An eye for design - you don't need to be a designer, but you know what good looks like and can explain why something isn't working. Canva, Figma or Adobe experience is a bonus.
• Some experience - maybe you’ve had an internship in marketing, content or operations, an internship, freelance work, or a portfolio you've built yourself. We care more about what you can do than where you learned to do it.
• Interested - in life, things, culture, passions, people etc.
