About Scantime

Founded in 2004, Scantime is a family-run business with deep roots in engineering. Our purpose is to deliver practical and engaging PLC training courses that help engineers stay safe and effective in their day-to-day work.

Key Responsibilities

Social Media Management:

You'll handle the day-to-day operations of all our social media accounts (including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok). This involves planning, scheduling, and publishing posts, as well as monitoring engagement and responding to our community.

Content Creation:

You'll manage our email marketing campaigns, from newsletters to promotional mailers. You'll segment our audiences to deliver tailored content and monitor campaign performance to make improvements.

Analytics & Reporting:

You will track, analyse, and report on performance across social and email campaigns. Using this data, you'll provide insights and recommendations to refine our content strategy and improve results.

Collaboration:

You'll work closely with the wider marketing team and collaborate alongside our Content Creator on campaigns, events, and product launches, contributing ideas to enhance Scantime's digital strategy and brand growth.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in a social media, digital marketing, or similar role. A strong understanding of major social media platforms and their best practices. Creative flair with experience in content creation (graphics, video, or copywriting). Experience with email marketing platforms and an understanding of GDPR. Excellent communication and organisational skills. A data-driven mindset with the ability to analyse performance and generate reports. You're a team player who is keen to learn and stay up-to-date with the latest digital marketing trends.
