We’re looking for a creative and skilled Marketing Executive to join our Marketing team based at our Head Office in Glasgow.
With an over 100-strong Marketing team, we keep it all in-house. From working with 26 global car brands to promoting exciting employee initiatives – we do it all in this department. We give you the freedom and creativity to develop your own ideas, while working in teams to deliver innovative marketing
As a Marketing Executive, you’ll work collaboratively with a talented bunch of designers, developers, photographers and copywriters to plan, implement and analyse all marketing activity for your stakeholders. You’ll make decisions based on data, rather than opinion, and have a strong analytical mindset. You’ll be digitally savvy and thrive on delivering strong results to tight deadlines.
When you’ll work
It’s a full-time position; generally, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5.30pm.
So, what will I be doing?
Whether your part of our OEM team, helping branches drive car sales, or part of our employee team responsible for attracting and retaining talent, you can expect:
• You’ll have your own projects and accounts to manage.
• No two days are the same – you’ll work on a wide range of marketing projects and campaigns, keeping the customer experience at the forefront of everything you do.
• Planning a wide range of innovative marketing activities, online and offline.
• Developing marketing strategies and creating planners to help you deliver this activity.
• Using tools such as Google Analytics and CRM data, you’ll monitor ROI and analyse trends.
• You’ll have an eye for spotting opportunities that grow the business and you’ll be comfortable working to tight deadlines and within budget.
• Writing SEO-optimised content and implementing the basics of SEO.
• Working with web designers, you’ll create engaging email campaigns and landing pages that get results.
• Creating and manage social media paid ads in collaboration with our in-house social media specialists.
• Test, test, test! We encourage you to test your digital activity as much as possible, allowing you to make improvements and optimisations to get the best results.
• Focusing on the customers’ digital to physical journey, you’ll provide branches with point of sale material to create an integrated experience for customers.
• You’ll be confident in coordinating events to reach the target audience.
• You’ll work closely with your internal stakeholders and keep them up to speed with results of marketing activities.
• Collaborate with our Communications team to create content that our customers want to see.
The ideal candidate for this role:
• You’ll have a minimum of 2 years’ experience working in a similar, fast-paced environment.
• Building good relationships with stakeholders comes naturally to you.
• You’ll be comfortable managing a budget.
• You’ll thrive on leading and executing multi-channel marketing campaigns.
• Prioritisation is key – you’ll work with a number of stakeholders and you’ll be comfortable prioritising your workload, always keeping in mind which jobs provide the most value to our customers.
• You’ve got hands-on experience with email, social and other paid advertising.
• You’re a natural team player. We’re a big team and are always looking to help and support each other - and have a laugh along the way.
• You don’t want to stand still – you’ll be curious and keep up to date with the industry and have an eagerness to grow in the role.
• You’ll bring a can-do attitude to work and don’t mind a challenge or two.
• You take pride in your attention to detail and recognise the importance of this in everything you do.
• You’ll be happy to show off your brilliant ideas among the team and be eager to learn from others.
• Finally, you’ll bring an element of technical skill - basic HTML/CSS won’t scare you. Don’t worry though, we’ll give you any training you may need.
As for benefits, we’ve got you covered:
• Bonus scheme - hard work is rewarded at Arnold Clark with our bi-annual, performance-related bonus.
• Time to get refreshed - 33 days annual leave
• Flexible hybrid working - enjoy the best of both. Work in our vibrant Head Office with flexible start/finish times. Plus, you’ll have the option of choosing your days working from home.

• Industry events - you’ll have the opportunity to attend industry conferences and courses.
• Creative workspaces - our office is vibrant and open plan with many collaborative workspaces. No need to be stuck at your desk all day!
• Looking for a new set of wheels? You’ll enjoy employee discounts on cars, rentals, servicing and more.
