This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Marketing professional to grow the marketing programme at Elliotts – helping to position us as Hampshire’s number one merchant.

- Apply SEO best practices to boost rankings and visibility through keyword research, meta tags, and content improvements.
- Update web content, create high-performing landing, category, and brand pages to improve UX and conversions.
- Work closely with teams across Branch, Commercial, Operations, Digital, and HR.
- Support the roll out of activities such as local events and exhibitions, in-store promotions, radio, outdoor advertising, sponsorship, member-get-member, directories, local advertising, etc.
What you need:
- 4/5+ years’ experience in digital marketing or related field
- Understanding of SEO, PPC, social media marketing, email marketing, and other online channels.
- Demonstrated success in driving website traffic, increasing engagement, and generating leads or conversions through digital channels is highly desirable.
- Develop innovative marketing ideas that align with the Elliotts goal
- Experienced in using web analytics tools, e.g. GA4, and interpreting data to present measurable returns on marketing investment and campaigns.
- Experienced in marketing automation tools to nurture and personalise customer experiences

- Ability to create engaging and relevant content for different platforms.
- Ability to plan, organise, and execute marketing campaigns.
