• Work with, manage and influence key stakeholders such as the SD team, sponsored riders, SEO/CRO/PPC team, web developers, graphic designers, Societies and suppliers 

The successful candidate must:

• Be very horsey and love the creative buzz of marketing

This is results and target driven salary with a basic plus bonus. Basic salary is dependent on experience, but the combined earning potential is £22000 - £30000 Pro Rata
Hours may be flexible (24 – 40) and can include elements of remote work – travel to the Burnley office will be required weekly, therefore this is a great opportunity for someone needing a less rigid role.
28 days holiday (pro-rata) including bank holidays plus an extra day for you to have your birthday off (We all want a lie in on our birthday!)

So, if you’re a positive individual who can work under pressure and drive a great team and a great brand to new heights then we would love to hear from you
