We are looking for a Marketing Manager to help promote York & STAG Mumbler both on and offline. 

An amazing opportunity is available for the right person in York, Selby or surrounding areas.

Do you love marketing in a fast paced environment but hate the constraints of working for a big corporation or any inflexible job that doesn’t work around having a family? Maybe you’re looking for a better work-life balance but want to do something exciting and fulfilling? We have a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic marketing enthusiast to join the team at Mumbler.

Over the last 13 years, York Mumbler has grown phenomenally & to achieve the mission of making life easier for parents in York as well as spreading out to Selby, Tadcaster & Goole (STAG).

We’re looking for a confident Marketing Manager to help with a number of marketing and promotional tasks to share all the great work and content we have on Mumbler with the parents and carers of York & STAG. We’re not short of ideas for what we COULD do here – but it’s about making the right choices and executing them brilliantly to the benefit of the local parenting community, local businesses and Mumbler too.

We’re a small but perfectly formed team at Mumbler, for the right candidate this will be a dream job in which you’ll be able to make the most of your marketing skills at the same time as well as achieve a wonderful work/life balance and working in a company who is genuinely making a difference for local parents.

The Job will include (but not be limited to) 

• Creating and executing on & offline marketing including campaigns, partnerships, printed items etc.
• Managing and organising online promotion schedules including social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok etc) including co-ordinating & planning the team content on a weekly basis.
• Creating engaging weekly newsletters based on our new and existing content (Our Mini Mumble)
• Co-ordinating and helping at events such as the Nearly New Sales & Baby Brunches as well as ad hoc events
• Researching and uncovering powerful insights as to what the parenting community of York need help with most, and helping us deliver on that.
• Responding to ad hoc requests and opportunities from Emily, The Mumbler Team, and The Mumbler audience as required.

Skills Required:

You will be using social media – Meta (Facebook, WhatsApp & Instagram) & a bit of TikTok. You don’t have to be an expert in these (who really is?.. they change all the time!) but you must have a genuine love for social media and a creative curiosity around it, wanting to learn how it’s used effectively for businesses.

You’ll be using Canva to create marketing materials so a good understanding of this as well as a general eye for design and creative flair is important. We use Mailchimp for newsletters so an understanding of this would be beneficial but it’s easy to learn too. You’ll also be using Excel and Microsoft Outlook – so an understanding of these would be helpful but full training will be given for any areas you’re less sure on.

As this is a Marketing Manager role, you’re likely to have experience in Marketing & have a good understanding of the difference between ‘good ideas’ and ‘effective marketing tools’ – ensuring that you always deliver results from the work you’re doing for Mumbler.

The role working at York Mumbler is mainly desk and computer-based but is always varied as we want to respond to what parents need at any time – therefore the personal attributes are as important as your skills and experience.

The personal skills we’re looking for are: 

• Pride in doing a superb job – You put 100% into any task you do.
• Brilliant organisational skills – You’re probably the one who organises your family & friends and I bet you love a list! Maybe you’re in the PTA.
• Creativity – You can write well and have a love of creative design.
• Initiative – You can see the bigger picture of what we’re trying to achieve and can come up with alternative ideas to get there. You see problems or gaps that need solving and you pro-actively come up with solutions.
• Fantastic attention to detail – You don’t like cutting corners and are very thorough in any task you take on.
• Personal Ownership – You are happy to take responsibility for areas of work from concept to delivery and review how it’s gone/look for ways to improve next time.
• Communicate with Confidence – You’re happy to challenge and question Emily & the team. You have a professional but down-to-earth and friendly communication style with our customers. You’re good at communicating to the team what they need to know if your tasks and jobs impact or need involvement from others.
• Enthusiasm & Energy – We are a small team and need someone who cares like we do – caring more about what they can bring to the table than what they can take from it.

Role Details: 

• HOURS: The role will be 16 hours per week over 4 days  (Happy to discuss times/days for the right candidate)
• LOCATION: A mixture of Home Working, Office working and work ‘out and about’  – a typical week would be 1-2 days at York Mumbler HQ in Wigginton, 1 day out and about in York or Selby executing marketing plans and 1-2 days working from home.
• FLEXIBILITY: I’m happy to discuss any flexible options to make this role work around your personal & family life – please state any restrictions or preferences in your application.
• STATUS: This is a permanent part-time employed role.

Mumbler is for everyone and anyone – so is this role.

Role Benefits:

• Holiday: 6 Weeks paid holiday per year.
• Family First – although you have set working hours most weeks – we will always flex around the needs of your children and family (you’ll never miss a sports day, Christmas play and Mumbler work comes second to your children if they’re ill)
• Salary: £10,483.20 per year – The rate of pay is at the REAL living wage at £201.6 per week- above the minimum / living wage rate  – meaning you would qualify for the 30 hours of government childcare. This equates to a FTE of £24,570 p/a.
• Reviews: Ad hoc reviewing days out, products and services for families in York
• Team: Being part of our Mumblerhood Team of parents in York.
