Why start a marketing career at Access?

At Access you’ll work alongside top marketers in a community that is curious, collaborative and driven, and enjoy being part of a business environment that offers unlimited career opportunities and meaningful reward. Access is a truly marketing-led organisation; what makes us so special and successful is the way that our sales and marketing colleagues work together to achieve results. We learn from each other, so we all grow every day while looking for innovative, creative ways to communicate with our audience.

About you:

We’re looking for a digital native with a passion for marketing and sales. You may have a strong desire to understand how advertising works, or be someone with a natural flair for creativity, or you may be someone who is drawn towards data and fascinated by how businesses use algorithms to make people change behaviour or buy a certain product.

You’ll enjoy working at pace to achieve results, and while you’re not expected to have any marketing experience, an ability to demonstrate an understanding of what marketing is and why you want a career in marketing will be critical to getting onto this highly sought after programme.

Problem solving and an ability to learn quickly is important, so you’ll be someone who isn’t afraid to ask questions and show curiosity to both understand things and also identify where you can add value.

You will be confident in communicating, building relationships and engaging with key stakeholders.

Day-to-day, you will:

• Work across the marketing mix, with an opportunity to learn on the job. This may mean one month you’re helping run our stand at industry events, while another you’re building email programmes to drive sales, or supporting digital advertising plans to tell more people about our products. 
• Ultimately your role will support plans to drive brand and product consideration, with a heavy focus on driving prospects to want to find out more about our products.
• Your role may also focus on building engagement from our existing customers, through telling them about new products and features, to helping them make the most out of their current product holding.
• At times you may work with channel specialists like digital squads, content producers, and other experts to deliver marketing campaigns.

What does Access offer you?

We are a growing software company, and we deliver on what we say we do! We take the development of our people very seriously and we will work with you to carve out your success plan and an opportunity to accelerate your career and make a real difference.

On top of a competitive salary, our standard 25 days holiday (which goes up the longer you’re with us), and a matched pension scheme you’ll also be able to choose from a range of benefits to suit you. We pride ourselves on being an organisation that gives back so you’ll also have a charity day you can take to support something that matters to you.  

As part of your role as a Digital Marketing Apprentice – you will complete an apprenticeship in; “Digital Marketing” (Level 6 - equivalent to a degree)

At Access we’re all about helping everyone Love Work and Love Life. Why? Because we believe people can only be their best when they can be themselves. So, if you are excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t match perfectly, we’d still love to hear from you. You might just be who we are looking for.

We love the fact that we’re all different. We believe by having more diverse perspectives at work improves how we run our business, helps us to better support our customers, and when you think about it, it’s just more fun!

What’s holding you back? Come and be part of our Amazing Access Family!

Love Work. Love Life. Be You.
