What you'll be doing
We pride ourselves on creating challenging and exciting opportunities, meaning that no two days are the same. However, here's an idea of what your responsibilities will look like:
- Manage a portfolio of key stakeholders and build relationships with either supplier brands or key Boots partners, to ensure we understand their needs and identify ways to help them achieve their goals
- Utilise their relationships to ensure we are developing co-marketing campaigns that are right for both the client brand and Boots shoppers
- Participate in brainstorms to help create campaigns for our clients
- Develop high-quality written marketing proposals that clearly outline the campaign strategy and tell a coherent story to our clients
- Deliver campaigns against agreed budgets and timelines
- Help evaluate media performance and present results back to brands
The process
1. We will invite you to a first interview which we try to keep relatively informal, so it gives you the opportunity to share your authentic self. The hiring team will be looking to understand more about your experience and why you're interested in working with us.
2. There will be a second interview which will last a little longer, and involve some form of task to showcase your ability to do the role.
3. We then invite you to a meet & greet which is an opportunity for you to meet the team you'll be joining and ask them questions about the role and wider business.
Helping you shine
We are committed to helping you shine and show your full potential by making any changes you might need throughout your application. If you need an alternative way of applying for this role, support with understanding the role and its requirements, changes to be made to the way we hold our interviews, or anything else, then please reach out to us. You can let us know on your application form.
