Job Information
Orbital Internet Group is an Award winning and leading provider in the telecoms industry that has been in operation for over 20 years.
The business is growing quickly and with the injection of new capital from our Private Equity Partners, has only enhanced this. The business has a loyal customer base and scores highly on all customer satisfaction metrics.
We have big plans to bring pure fibre internet services to thousands of residents and businesses across Kent, utilising our Vfast and Orbital Net brands.
We have 3 brands within the group, Orbital Net, Vfast Internet and Vfast Parks. All of which offer their own set of products and services to suit our customer base.
We are looking for dynamic candidates to join us who want to jump on at a time of huge change to help us create what our future looks like.
Summary
We are setting up a new marketing team from the ground up. This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of building this new environment and grow into a suitable role. The team will be built around us, there is a lot of work to do, it’s exciting and demanding all at the same time!
You will be the foundation for our team, keeping everyone organised and supporting your team with their administrative tasks. Tasks can vary from supporting event planning to liaising with suppliers and keeping record of tasks for the rest of your marketing team.
If you are looking to jump in headfirst and are the type of character who is willing to learn as you go, then this is the role for you. Working across 3 brands there are a lot of priorities to juggle, but all with a supportive team where the knowledge you can gain is invaluable.
There will be a lot of independent working with virtual and in person support always at hand.
Candidate Profile & Attributes
We are looking for candidates who are adaptable, efficient, quick thinking and highly organised.
The marketing team must work in complete alignment to achieve success, we will work closely together daily so we chose to work with kind and open-minded characters who are supportive of diversity and equal opportunities. If you can see the funny side of things, that also helps a lot when things get a little stressful! We are often the instigators of internal promotions and therefore tasked with bringing all our teams in the business together, to support campaigns and new projects. This is something that you should really enjoy as its important to bring a little joy into our workplace.
An energetic and approachable person would be most suited to this varied role. You should be the type of person who doesn’t need to wait for instruction, rather seizing the opportunity to be helpful whenever you see it.
You should demonstrate strong organisation skills and have work experience in a fast-paced environment. An understanding of telecoms is desirable but not essential.
Organisational skills are essential, you will be the one to initiate organising electronic files, suggesting more efficient ways of working, forward planning and creating processes that support a smaller team to execute a big job. You should be a stickler for detail and not be willing to settle for anything that doesn’t meet your exacting standards.
You should be very familiar with the full Microsoft suite and be able to demonstrate this as you will be using them daily.
