Marketing Coordinator (Channel Islands) (11524)

Investec is a distinctive Specialist Bank serving clients principally in the UK and South Africa. Our culture gives us our edge: we work hard to find colleagues who'll think out of the ordinary and we put them in environments where they'll flourish. We combine a flat structure with a focus on internal mobility. If you can bring an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to learn and collaborate to your work, this could be the boost your career deserves.

Role Profile

The role

This role, based in Guernsey, supports all Investec Bank (Channel Islands) marketing efforts across our offices in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man. Working closely with the London-based IBCI marketing manager, the aim is to enhance our marketing output and deliver our brand in the Channel Islands. This generalist marketing role involves implementing and executing the marketing plan, delivery of local client events, focusing on awareness, client acquisition, retention, and cross-selling for IBCI's client-facing teams:

Financial Intermediaries, principally Trust Companies & Corporate Service Providers
Private Clients & Corporates/Family Offices

The role requires regular travel between Guernsey, Jersey, and, to a less frequent extent, the Isle of Man and London, and involves collaboration with the UK Private Banking divisional marketing team and London-based functional marketing teams, including Events, Brand, Internal Communications, Client Marketing & Integrated Planning, Digital, Content, and Public Relations.

An important aspect of the role will be as a locally-based extension of the central (UK-based) marketing team, and therefore the only marketing resource based locally. This will require good communication and stakeholder management skills.

You'll be a process-oriented individual who loves bringing shape and rigour to a vision and ensures work gets done, with excellent stakeholder management skills. You'll be highly reliable and able to perform under pressure – and it's essential you have the ability to learn fast and pick up new processes quickly.

Core responsibilities include:

Delivering all IBCI marketing communications and campaigns
Event support, management, budgeting and communication, in collaboration with the central Events team
Maintaining local sponsorship relationships and activations
Internal communications
Supporting with internal events
Maintaining and activating the bank's social media channels
Helping to plan, schedule and project manage the collateral aspects of marketing activity
Where appropriate writing copy for marketing collateral, including brochures, social posts, emails and websites.
Organising and communicating across different teams and agencies to ensure deadlines are met
Acting as a brand, tone of voice and corporate identity guardian to ensure a consistent look and feel
Acting as a compliance guardian
General marketing support

Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously

Embedded in our culture is a sense of belonging and inclusion. This creates an environment in which everyone is free to be themselves which helps to drive innovation, creativity and ultimately business performance. At Investec we want everyone to find it easy to be themselves, and to feel they belong. It's a responsibility we all share and is integral to our purpose and values as an organisation.

Research shows that some candidates can be reluctant to apply to a role unless they meet all the criteria. We pride ourselves on our entrepreneurial spirit here and welcome you to do the same – if the role excites you, please don't let our person specification hold you back. Get in touch!
