Marketing Apprentice

Description:

Fancy learning marketing from the people who actually make businesses grow?

Forget sitting in the corner doing admin and hoping someone notices you. At Chalkhill Blue, you'll be in the room from day one, working alongside a business growth consultancy that helps ambitious entrepreneurs and SMEs scale, grow and succeed, and picking up a real marketing qualification while you do it.

About us

We're a dynamic, award-winning consultancy combining deep commercial know-how with hands-on marketing expertise. We work with founders, owners and leadership teams who are serious about growth, and we do things a little differently to most agencies. No corporate box-ticking, no sitting on the sidelines. Just real work, real clients and real responsibility, right from the start.

Now we're looking for one bright, motivated person to join us on that journey.

Is this you?

You've just graduated (marketing degree not required) or finished your studies with strong results, and you're ready to build real experience rather than send out another hundred applications. You're curious about how businesses actually work, not just how to write a good caption. Maybe you grew up around a family business, did some work experience somewhere entrepreneurial, or you're simply fascinated by what makes companies tick.

You're organised, you've got sharp attention to detail, and you can write. You're not afraid of a fast-moving, small-team environment where things change quickly and no two days look the same.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.
