Marketing Graduate
Join our team of chief storytellers, and facilitate marketing activities both internally and externally through a number of exciting projects. You’ll learn the ins and outs of content creation, events management, social media, public relations and more. Our marketing graduate role is perfect for someone who has a passion and understanding of marketing, but wants to escalate their learning, gain hands-on experience and discover where their interests lie.
What you can expect
A clear pathway
From the outset, we’ll work with you to set relevant and practical goals and outline the best way to get there. Alongside your on-the-job learning, this 12-month pathway will consistently help you build marketing and interpersonal skills, and equip you with the confidence to move forward in your career.
Well-rounded experience
Our marketing graduate will spend time on a number of different marketing projects. You will get the chance to work with various specialists in our team to grow your confidence in a wide range of practical, relevant skills, whilst also discovering where your interests are.
Dedicated learning days
To get the most out of your development pathway, you will take part in quarterly development days. These will focus on different marketing-specific and wider business practices to help you succeed throughout your marketing career.
On-Hand mentoring
Each graduate will be assigned a mentor who, alongside the wider team, will be on hand to answer any questions and make sure you have everything you need to succeed.
Future success
Once the programme is finished, we intend to make you a full part of the marketing team, with a job description based on your skills and interests. We work with our graduates individually to shape a career pathway prior to the programme finishing to ensure your journey with us continues to go from strength to strength.
Benefits
As well as a competitive salary, you can expect full access to the range of benefits that all xDesign employees have, including private medical insurance, development days, unlimited 1:1 financial coaching through Bippit and access to our learning platform O’Reilly.
