Marketing Associate
About Us
Urban Jungle is here to change the insurance industry for good.
We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, and we’re taking on one of the biggest and most widely used categories in the world. Urban Jungle puts the customer at the heart of everything it does, uses the latest technology to make insurance simple, fair and affordable, and helps us give our customers much more confidence in their financial futures.
All of this has meant we’ve already been able to help over 175,000 customers get better insurance and become one of the top-rated home insurance providers in the UK, with 4.6 on Trustpilot from over 8,000 reviews. We’ve raised over £30m in funding to date to help us with our mission.
We also have a huge focus on people and our planet. We’ve recently placed 1st in the TechRound100, and won the “Best Employer Award” in the UK FinTech Awards. We’re also proud to be a certified B-Corp, and a Carbon Neutral company.
And the best bit? This is just the beginning.
About The Role
We’re looking for a driven and enthusiastic Marketing Associate to join our Marketing team and help us achieve our ambitious growth plans.
In this role, you’ll be working alongside our 4 strong marketing team, focusing on wherever the company needs you most. We operate across a huge range of marketing channels (Google PPC, SEO, Partnerships, Email, Social, TV, etc) so you’ll get the opportunity to quickly learn and build your skills across a broad range of areas - whether that’s creating engaging content for TikTok, testing different audiences for digital ads, or setting up a completely new channel! You’ll have a key role in rolling out different marketing tests to build awareness of why Urban Jungle is different and to grow our customer base - coming up with ideas, getting them live and measuring how they perform.
You’ll rapidly grow your ownership skills as you and the company learn and develop.
Here’s what you’ll get up to:
- You’ll be a marketing generalist, taking ownership of delivering marketing tests and campaigns.
- You’ll use a mixture of creative, analytical and project management skills to contribute ideas on what to do next, executing those ideas, and running analysis on how they performed.
- You’ll utilise customer and competitive insights to create compelling and effective marketing communication, including briefing and developing creative with 3rd parties (e.g designers) and writing copy yourself.
- You’ll get to dive into data from a range of sources to inform decisions, set goals and measure the impact of the tests we ship.
- You’ll work collaboratively with the rest of the business to make things happen
You've read this far! Here's what we’re looking for from you:
- We’re not looking for any previous experience, so long as you can demonstrate a genuine interest in marketing and/ or how brands communicate.
- You’re excited to learn about - and get stuck into - a broad range of marketing areas and channels, including creating compelling copy or content.
- A natural problem solver, you love asking questions and you’re never afraid to say “I don’t know.”
- You’re analytical, and interested in working out why something has happened.
- You’re a self-starter, who makes their own opportunities and pushes tasks to completion.
- You’re good at explaining exactly what you mean and know how to tailor your communication to different audiences.
- You’re passionate about helping customers, and excited by Urban Jungle’s mission to make insurance fairer
These requirements are a guide as to what we’re looking for, but if you don’t have all of the skills listed above, that’s okay! Please don’t let that hold you back from applying if the role excites you.
