3What this role really is

A marketing coordinator keeps global campaigns running smoothly, from scheduling social posts across time zones to pulling performance reports. This is a foundational role, giving you a grounding in how marketing campaigns run for a large international company. It sits behind the scenes, but it keeps everything else on track.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) Intermediate

Executing pre-defined email campaigns, building simple journeys in Journey Builder (under supervision), pulling lists, and generating standard performance reports for your manager.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Intermediate

Navigating the interface to find specific data, creating basic reports in the 'Explore' section, tracking core events, and reporting on standard KPIs (users, sessions, conversion rates) as requested.

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Basic

Editing and publishing content on existing page templates, managing assets in the Digital Asset Manager (DAM), and following established content workflows for website updates.

Tableau Basic

Interacting with pre-built dashboards to find specific metrics, applying filters, and exporting data or visuals for presentations. You'll be a consumer of dashboards, not a builder yet.

SEMrush Intermediate

Conducting keyword research for content briefs, tracking keyword rankings for core terms, and running basic competitor analysis reports to support content planning.

Asana / Jira Intermediate

Managing your personal tasks, updating project status, collaborating within existing project boards, and understanding sprint cycles (if your team uses Agile marketing).

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Campaign Content Approval	No authority. Prepare content drafts based on briefs, but all final copy and creative must be approved by Global Marketing Specialist or Content Lead.	Approve minor copy tweaks within established brand guidelines. Escalate significant content changes or new creative concepts.	Approve campaign content for specific channels or regions within an overarching strategy. Consult with Brand Governance for major deviations.
Campaign Scheduling & Deployment	Schedule emails or social posts as instructed by manager. Any deviation from the plan must be escalated immediately.	Adjust campaign schedules for specific channels based on performance data or minor operational changes, informing manager.	Define and manage the overall campaign calendar for a workstream, making strategic adjustments based on market conditions or business priorities.
Tool & Platform Usage	Use existing features within SFMC, GA4, AEM as instructed. Report any technical issues to manager or IT.	Explore and propose new ways to use existing platform features to improve efficiency or campaign performance.	Evaluate and recommend new marketing technology tools or significant platform integrations.
Budget Allocation	No budget authority. Report on campaign spend if requested, but don't make spending decisions.	Manage spend for specific campaigns within a pre-approved budget (e.g., £5K-£10K). Flag any over/under spend to manager.	Allocate budgets for entire workstreams or regional campaigns (e.g., £50K-£100K), with oversight from Director.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

On-time Task Completion

Making sure your assigned tasks (e.g., email setup, social post scheduling, report pulling) are finished by their deadlines.

Target · 95% of tasks completed on schedule

If you're given 20 tasks in a week, you'd aim to complete 19 of them by their due date. We understand things can shift, but consistent delays are a red flag.

Campaign Asset Accuracy

The number of errors found in campaign assets you've prepared (e.g., typos in emails, incorrect links in landing pages, wrong images on social posts).

Target · Less than 1 error per 5 assets

You prepare 10 emails and 10 social posts. If more than 4 errors are found across those 20 assets, we'd need to review your process. We're looking for diligence here.

Basic Report Generation

How consistently and accurately you pull standard performance reports from our platforms (e.g., email open rates, website traffic).

Target · 90% accuracy on all requested reports

You're asked to pull the email open rates for last month's newsletter. Getting the right numbers, for the right region, without needing multiple corrections, is key.

Content Update Timeliness

How quickly and correctly you update website content or digital assets based on requests from the team.

Target · All content updates completed within 24 hours of request (for standard tasks)

A regional team asks you to update a banner image on a landing page. Getting that done within a day means they can launch their local campaign on time.

Proactive Learning & Initiative

How much you actively seek to understand our tools, processes, and global marketing strategies, and how often you offer to help without being asked.

You'll be asking 'why' things are done a certain way, suggesting minor improvements to processes, or taking on new tasks once your core work is done. Your manager won't have to chase you to learn new skills
you'll be asking for training.

Collaboration & Team Support

How well you work with your immediate team and regional colleagues, offering help and communicating clearly.

You'll respond promptly to requests, offer to help colleagues who are swamped, and generally be seen as a helpful, positive presence. People will enjoy working with you, and you'll be a good sounding board for ideas.

Attention to Detail

Your ability to spot small errors, inconsistencies, or potential issues before they become bigger problems.

You'll catch the typo in the email subject line before it goes out to 100,000 people. You'll notice a broken link on a landing page during a routine check. It's about having that instinct to double-check everything.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Learning & Development

You'll be constantly exposed to new tools, strategies, and global challenges. Every day is a chance to pick up new skills, whether it's setting up a new email journey or understanding why a certain metric matters. You'll get plenty of guidance, but also the space to try things out.

You'll spend time in training sessions for Salesforce Marketing Cloud, then immediately apply what you've learned to build a real email for a campaign. You'll also get regular 1:1s with your manager to discuss your career path and what you want to learn next.

Making a Tangible Impact

Even though you're supporting, your work directly contributes to campaigns that reach millions. You'll see your social posts go live, your emails get sent, and your reports inform decisions. It's not abstract; you're building real things that people see.

You'll schedule a series of social media posts for a new product launch. When you see those posts live on LinkedIn and Twitter, knowing you made that happen, it's a pretty cool feeling. Or you'll pull a report that shows a campaign is performing well, and you know you helped make that happen.

Working in a Global Environment

You'll be interacting with colleagues from all over the world, learning about different markets and consumer behaviours. It's a truly international team, which means diverse perspectives and a chance to broaden your horizons beyond just one country.

You might be on a call with the APAC marketing team one morning, discussing their content needs, and then helping the EMEA team with a campaign launch in the afternoon. You'll get a real sense of how a global business operates.

What frustrates people

Waiting for approvals from multiple stakeholders in different time zones, which can slow things down.
Dealing with legacy systems or processes that aren't quite as smooth as you'd like.
Having to chase people for information or assets to complete your tasks.
The occasional 'swoop and poop' from a senior leader changing a campaign last minute, meaning you have to re-do work.
Realising that a 'quick fix' often takes much longer than expected due to global compliance or brand guidelines.

What this role does not give you

High-level strategic decision-making – that comes later.
A completely predictable workload; expect some urgent requests.
Full autonomy on campaign design or budget allocation.
A quiet, solitary work environment; it's collaborative and busy.

8Who you work with

You're essentially the glue that holds the campaign execution together. Your work directly supports the Global Marketing Specialists, helping them hit their targets by ensuring all the campaign assets are delivered accurately and on time. Without you, things would slow down, and our global reach would suffer. You're making sure the bigger strategic plans get translated into actual, tangible customer touchpoints.

Inside the business

Global Marketing Specialist (your manager)
Regional Marketing Teams (EMEA, APAC, Americas)
Content Team
Product Marketing

Outside the business

Marketing Agencies (e.g., creative, media buying)
Translation Services

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

A genuine interest in marketing and how businesses engage with customers globally.
Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to tasks.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Ability to work effectively in a team and ask for help when needed.
Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or Google Workspace equivalents.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Marketing Automation

Customers expect highly personalised experiences. As you progress, you'll need to move beyond simple email sends to building complex, multi-stage customer journeys that react to user behaviour.

Journey Mapping · Dynamic Content · A/B Testing Strategies

This quarter: Take an online course on advanced Salesforce Marketing Cloud features or another marketing automation platform.
Next quarter: Shadow a Senior Specialist or Lead who is building complex journeys and ask lots of questions.
Month 6: Propose a small A/B test for an existing email or journey, with clear hypotheses.
Month 9: Start documenting best practices for dynamic content within our systems.

Quick win: Volunteer to help your manager set up a simple A/B test for an email subject line. It's a great way to learn about optimisation without owning the whole process.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly read industry blogs (e.g., Marketing Week, Search Engine Journal, The Drum) to stay on top of trends.
Attend webinars or online workshops on specific marketing topics, like email copywriting or social media strategy.
Take advantage of internal training programmes for our marketing technology stack (SFMC, GA4, AEM).
Seek out a mentor within the marketing team to guide your career development.
Join relevant professional marketing groups on LinkedIn to expand your network and knowledge.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the 'grunt work' in marketing, especially at the entry level, can be time-consuming. But what if you could automate some of that? We're embracing AI to make our team more efficient, giving you more time for learning and more interesting tasks. This isn't about replacing you; it's about making your job easier and more impactful.

For a Marketing Coordinator, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can help you get through your daily tasks faster and with more accuracy. Imagine having a smart assistant that helps you draft emails, summarise competitor activity, or even suggest better headlines. That's the reality here. We want you to use these tools from day one to free up your brainpower for the more interesting challenges.

Hyper-Localised Copy Drafting

Use generative AI to take a core campaign message and instantly draft culturally-nuanced variations for different regions or ad formats. You'll still review and refine, but the heavy lifting of initial drafting is gone. This saves you hours on translation coordination and initial copywriting.

Basic Analytics Summaries

Feed raw data from Google Analytics or SFMC into an AI tool, and it can quickly summarise key trends and highlights for your reports. Instead of manually sifting through numbers, you get a quick overview to guide your reporting. It's like having a super-fast data interpreter.

Competitor Activity Digests

Set up an AI research assistant to monitor competitors' social media, news, and campaign launches across multiple countries. It'll then deliver a concise daily or weekly summary directly to your inbox, saving you hours of manual scanning.

Campaign Brief & Report Outlines

Use AI to draft initial outlines for campaign briefs based on key objectives, or to structure weekly performance summaries. It won't write the whole thing, but it gives you a solid starting point, cutting down on blank-page syndrome.
