We’re looking for a talented marketing specialist to develop and deliver a marketing strategy, plan and activity that supports the Society in achieving its mission to build a greener society.
Ecology Building Society is a successful member-owned financial institution with a clear environmental focus and a mission to promote sustainable development. Our members save with us in the knowledge that their money is being used to make a positive environmental impact whilst giving them a fair financial return. Our impact isn’t about the profit we make – it’s about the difference we make to the environment and to communities across the UK. Since 1981 we’ve lent to over 2,500 projects, supporting individuals, charities, environmental businesses and community-led housing organisations to realise their sustainable living ambitions.
About the role
The Marketing Manager is responsible for the development and implementation of marketing initiatives to promote the aims and objectives of the Society and support the delivery of the corporate business plan. As Marketing Manager you will:
- identify and develop channel specific marketing plans to optimise our reach and enhance distribution capability
- support our planned growth by building the marketing strategy, acquiring new members and engaging existing members via multiple channels
- undertake market research and analysis to provide valuable input into product development, pricing and marketing decisions
- create and manage relationships with key stakeholders and ensure that Ecology’s website, digital channels and promotional activity is optimised to grow the audience, build engagement and drive our mission
- work collaboratively with colleagues and play a key role in developing the marketing infrastructure and systems for a modern and growing organisation.
About you
You will be comfortable working at both strategic and tactical levels and will bring your knowledge, expertise and vision to shape the future of marketing at Ecology. You will have experience in a similar role, a relevant qualification and share a passion for our ethical products, services and values. This is a fantastic opportunity for the successful candidate to bring their creativity, acumen and insight to the team.
Working for Ecology
You’ll be based in our unique eco-build office in Silsden, West Yorkshire. As well as a great working environment and supportive team you will enjoy:
- a salary of £38,000 to £40,000 per annum (dependent upon experience)
- 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- free parking
- a holiday purchase scheme
- annual performance related bonus scheme
- entitlement to a competitive Society pension contribution and death in service life cover (offered after 3 months’ service).
Our mission matters. The majority of the UK’s 16 million houses waste energy on a massive scale – contributing up to 27% of our carbon footprint. We know that properties can be built, converted, renovated or improved with respect for the environment, and with comfort and affordability in mind. We’re here to help people and communities across the UK make it happen. You don’t need to take our word for it, we:
- are the proud winners of the Mortgage Finance Gazette award in 2018 for Mortgage Product Innovation
- were rated as an ethical best buy for our mortgages and savings accounts by Ethical Consumer magazine in its product guide rankings (May/June 2018)
- are an accredited Living Wage employer, and
- were the first building society in the UK to be awarded the Fair Tax Mark in 2016.
If you would like to be part of our team and help make a difference, then please send your CV and a covering letter in support of your application to [email protected] before the closing date.
Closing date: 8th January 2019
