Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build the brand out loud. Own brand strategy and execution across our core social channels, growing awareness, intrigue and consideration with our target L&D and business audience.
  • Create disruptive activations. Plan and deliver campaigns and moments that get Unthink talked about not just liked.
  • Own memorable events. Work with the Experience Manager to design and deliver unreasonable client events, launches and industry moments that feel as unforgettable as our learning experiences
  • Champion the voice. Keep Unthink's tone - bold, sharp, never boring - consistent everywhere the brand shows up, from LinkedIn to a stage.
  • Partner cross-functionally. Work hand-in-hand with the Founders on positioning and narrative, and with the Creative Director on bringing ideas to life visually.
  • Track what matters. Report on brand health, engagement and consideration metrics, and use insights to sharpen what we do next.
  • Scout culture, not just competitors. Keep a pulse on L&D, HR, and adjacent industries (as well as broader marketing and culture trends) to spot moments Unthink should own.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years experience in brand management, marketing, or brand/social strategy — agency, in-house, or a mix of both.
  • A portfolio of work that shows you can build buzz, not just post content: campaigns, activations, or events with a clear point of view.
  • Strong instincts for social-first brand building, and a track record of growing engagement and consideration (not just followers).
  • Comfort working closely with founders and senior stakeholders, translating ambiguity into a plan.
  • A high agency mentality. Ability to roll up the sleeves and work at a fast pace.
  • Event or experiential marketing exposure; you understand how a room full of people become a story that travels.
  • Sharp writing and creative judgement; you know a good headline, hook, or idea when you see one.
  • A genuine interest in behaviour change, learning, or workplace culture is a big plus you don't need to come from L&D, but you should be excited to make it cool and truly care about modernising it.
  • Self-starter energy. We’re a small, ambitious team, you’ll have real ownership from day one.

Benefits

  • Flexible working. We don’t have an office but get together frequently as a team, for our Learning Experiences or our own events (90% in London).
