Entry level · Now hiring
Digital Marketing Assistant
An entry-level digital marketing role at HDC Consultancy. You do not need agency experience. We train you on Google and Meta Ads, social and reporting while you work on live client accounts. Remote, UK preferred, open worldwide.
Five minutes. A person reads every one.
The role
Your first job in digital marketing. No agency experience, no portfolio. We teach you on live client accounts and someone senior checks your work at every step. What you do need: clear English, curiosity about why some ads work, and the reliability to hit a deadline without being chased.
You start by supporting live campaigns. Pulling the performance numbers. Researching competitors. Drafting ad copy, building social graphics from our templates, scheduling content. Once you find your feet you take on small accounts of your own.
We work remotely and async on Teams. You get written briefs, quick feedback and one named person to ask. The point of the role is to train you, so we have deliberately kept the admin off it.
What you'll do
- 1 Pull campaign performance data into our reporting templates each week
- 2 Research competitors, audiences and keywords, and write up what you find
- 3 Draft ad copy and social captions for review
- 4 Build social graphics and simple ad creatives from brand templates
- 5 Schedule organic social content across client accounts
- 6 Check links, tracking and spelling before anything goes live
- 7 Keep campaign admin tidy: naming, budgets, negatives and audience lists
- 8 Take notes in client calls and turn them into clear actions
What we need from you
The essentials. If you have these, apply.
- Fluent English, spoken and written. You will draft copy clients read
- A confident communicator who asks when unsure instead of guessing
- An eye for what makes one ad work when another does not
- IT proficient and quick to learn new tools
- Organised and reliable to deadlines without being chased
- Willing to be corrected, and to apply the correction next time
Helpful, but not required
Missing all of these? Apply anyway. None of it is a dealbreaker.
- A degree in marketing, business, communications or similar
- Any hands-on marketing: a placement, a society, a side hustle, a family business
- Canva, Figma or basic photo and video editing
- Comfortable in spreadsheets beyond the basics
- A Google Ads or Meta Blueprint certification. Both are free to take
What good looks like
How we'll know it's going well, so you know what you're measured on.
- By month one your reports go out with barely a correction
- By month three you draft ad copy that gets used with light edits
- You spot the broken link or the wrong budget before anyone else does
- By month six you run your own small accounts end to end
- You move up to the Executive role and someone new starts behind you
Why join HDC

Live client work
No filler projects. You are on client websites and campaigns from your first week.
High standards, room to grow
Written briefs and a high bar. As we grow, so does the job.
