Content & Brand Manager (Maternity cover)

Working at TravelLocal is pretty special. We get to spend our days connecting with people from all over the world. We help travellers have truly authentic experiences (and give back to the places they visit). We’re changing travel for the better, and having fun along the way.

Expect flexible working, a friendly and engaged team, and the chance to make a real impact.

During this 13-month maternity cover (starting in December) you will work within our marketing team to oversee all off-platform content. Encompassing email marketing, sponsored content and brand partnerships, this role would suit someone who has experience in PR or brand/media partnerships as well as copywriting and content marketing.

With plenty of inspiring travel content to create, edit and commission for three source markets, you must be ideas-driven, organised and have a keen eye for detail.

You are creative when it comes to putting together strategies and as comfortable ensuring a joined-up approach with the marketing team as you are about presenting to stakeholders with ideas, proposals and reports.

As an in-house brand manager, it will also be your responsibility to ensure that all off-platform content reflects our brand values and tone of voice. You will be passionate about sharing content that engages and delights travellers, as well as promoting TravelLocal as purveyors of ethical and trustworthy travel.

Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas or work permits. Please only apply if you have a right to work in the UK or Germany.
