Description

Job Description SmartPA is a leading provider of virtual PA, EA, administration and business automation services. We combine exceptional people with smart technology to help organisations run more efficiently, from ambitious SMBs to global corporates. Our client base is broad and growing, and we’re at an exciting stage where marketing has a real opportunity to accelerate that growth. This is a role where you will genuinely shape how SmartPA is seen in the market. Our Chief Commercial Officer carries overall responsibility for sales and marketing, supported by a small but effective Growth team. We have a freelance content writer who produces strong material, and a BD & Marketing Ops Manager who handles operational activity.

Our clients range from owner-managed SMBs to large global businesses, and our marketing needs to resonate across that full spectrum. You’ll be responsible for making sure we show up correctly for each audience with the right message, the right channel, the right tone.
