Hybrid Working | Pet Industry
Are you looking for your next step in marketing, events, brand support or commercial coordination within the pet industry?
We are recruiting for a brilliant Marketing & Events Executive opportunity with one of our established clients who are a premium, growth-focused business that has been building real momentum in the UK market. This is a fantastic chance to join a company we have been proud to support as they continue to grow and strengthen their team.
This is a role for someone who is highly organised, proactive, creative and excited by the idea of supporting marketing activity, trade events, consumer events and wider commercial initiatives across the UK & Ireland.
It's an especially strong opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build long-term experience within marketing, events, trade marketing, brand activation or commercial support.
The opportunity
This role sits within the UK & Ireland commercial team and offers a varied mix of marketing coordination, event support, administrative organisation, cross-functional collaboration and hands-on brand activity.
You will support the delivery of marketing initiatives and help coordinate consumer and trade events, working closely with internal teams and external partners. Over time, there is genuine scope for the role to develop further, with increasing ownership across projects, event management, advertising support and wider brand activity.
This is the kind of opportunity that would suit someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in doing things properly and wants to be part of a collaborative, people-first culture.
Key responsibilities
- Support the delivery of marketing activity across the UK & Ireland
- Coordinate projects with internal teams including sales, marketing, design and external agencies
- Assist with presentations, marketing materials, copywriting support and administration
- Support the planning and delivery of trade shows, exhibitions, consumer events and brand activations
- Help manage event logistics, materials, timelines and on-site coordination
- Provide practical day-to-day support to ensure campaigns and events run smoothly
- Use modern tools and technology to improve efficiency and organisation
- Over time, take on more ownership of advertising, event planning, budget tracking and brand activity
We are looking for someone who brings energy, organisation and a genuine desire to learn.
You'll likely enjoy this role if you are:
- Highly organised and detail-oriented
- Proactive, reliable and eager to develop
- Calm under pressure and able to manage multiple priorities
- Positive, practical and solutions-focused
- A strong communicator with good written skills
- Comfortable working with different teams and stakeholders
- Happy to get involved in both planning and hands-on delivery
- Interested in marketing, events, pets and consumer brands
- Confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word and PowerPoint
- Open to using modern tools and technology to work efficiently
We are keen to hear from people with a range of backgrounds.
You may already have experience in marketing, events, administration, sales support, coordination or another role where organisation, communication and attention to detail are key.
This role could suit someone at the beginning of their career, someone looking for a step into marketing and events, or someone already in a support-based role who is ready for a broader opportunity within a growing business.
Experience in the pet industry would be a bonus, but it is not essential. We are much more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, strong organisational skills, a proactive approach and a genuine desire to learn.
Why this role stands out
This is not just another junior marketing role. It is an opportunity to join a business with a fantastic culture, a genuinely diverse team and a strong sense of purpose.
We have worked closely with this client as they have built out their UK team, and we know first-hand the quality of the people, leadership and environment they are creating. It's a business where people are trusted, supported and given the space to grow.
