You’ll be close to the work, close to the team and responsible for turning what happens across our business into marketing that gets us noticed. We’re not looking for someone to simply manage an account or a content calendar, we want someone who will get out there and find our stories!\nWho are we?\nBalaena is one of the UK’s most ambitious maritime groups, with operations spanning Gibraltar, Padstow, Tyne, Birkenhead and Falmouth.\nWe’re growing, changing and raising our ambitions - and we need marketing that reflects that.\nYou’ll join a marketing team with a clear commercial purpose: helping Balaena build its reputation, strengthen relationships and create opportunities for growth.\nAs the dedicated marketing presence within your local facility, you’ll work alongside the people delivering the projects - capturing the expertise, innovation and personality that make Balaena different.\nWhat will you be doing?\nQuite simply, you’ll make sure the great work happening here doesn’t go unnoticed.\nYou’ll:\nFind the stories. Get out and talk to people, understand what’s happening and identify the projects, milestones and achievements that are worth telling the world about.\nYou’ll create content people want to see, shoot photography and video of vessels, projects, people and events - and turn it into content that stops the scroll.\nAs our local social presence, you’ll plan, create and schedule engaging content across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other digital channels.\nYou’ll tell compelling stories. Write project updates, news stories, employee features and customer case studies that bring our work to life.\nSupporting campaigns that matter, you’ll help to deliver product and service launches, sector campaigns, recruitment activity, brand rollouts and customer communications.\nTo help win business, you’ll work closely with Sales and Business Development to create presentations, case studies, bid materials, digital assets and exhibition collateral that support commercial conversations.\nMaking PR happen, you’ll spot the stories that deserve attention and work with PR to turn them into opportunities for Balaena.\nBeing there for project milestones, events, customer visits and key activity across the yard you’ll capture the moments that matter.\nYou’ll keep our digital presence moving with website updates, news, project stories and other digital content.\nTo help build the brand, you’ll work with the Head of Marketing and Head of Brand making sure every piece of content reflects Balaena consistently and professionally.\nYou’ll have plenty of variety. One day you could be photographing a vessel in the yard; the next you could be editing a video, writing a customer story or helping prepare for an exhibition.\nThat’s the point. We want marketing to be close to the business - not sitting on the sidelines.\nWhat do we want to see in you?\nWe want someone who gets marketing, gets people and gets stuff done. You’ll know your way around a Reel. From spotting a good story and filming it, to editing short-form video and getting it live, you understand how to create content for social first. Experience with Photoshop, Lightroom or other editing software would be great. And if you already know your way around a drone, even better - if not, but you’re keen to learn, we can help you develop those skills.\nYou’ll bring:\nMarketing experience or a relevant marketing qualification and a strong track record of creating social media content.\nA great understanding of LinkedIn and other social media platforms.\nExcellent organisation and the ability to keep multiple projects moving.\nThe confidence to build relationships with people across the business with a proactive, curious and creative approach.\nA full UK driving licence and willingness to travel occasionally between Group locations.\nExperience in engineering, manufacturing, maritime or defence would be useful.\nBut we’re more interested in what you can do than how many boxes you can tick.\nIf you’re someone who sees an opportunity, picks up a camera, asks the right questions and gets on with making it happen, you’ll fit in well here.\nWhy join us?\nBecause this isn’t a role where your work disappears into a corporate machine.\nYou’ll see it. You’ll own it. And people will notice it.\nYou’ll be embedded in a growing business, working alongside operational teams and project managers to understand the work at its source - then turning it into marketing that supports reputation, engagement and commercial growth.\nYou’ll have the opportunity to bring ideas to the table, challenge how things are done and make a genuine contribution to how Balaena presents itself to customers, partners, employees and the wider market.\nWe’re ambitious about where Balaena is going.\nWe want someone ambitious about the role they can play in getting us there.\nIf you’re ready to get closer to the action, create work you’re proud of and help tell the next chapter of the Balaena story - we want to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5614,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Science & Engineering","Marine & Ocean Engineering","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T18:43:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.438,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":60,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/balaena-marketing-executive","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/balaena-marketing-executive.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T12:00:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14294,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3840379},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3840379"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbalaena-marketing-executive"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbalaena-marketing-executive"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbalaena-marketing-executive"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/balaena-marketing-executive\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbalaena-marketing-executive"}]}
