The Marketing Executive plays a pivotal role in bringing our veterinary practices closer to their local pet-owning communities. Working together with Local Marketing Business Partners, Practice owners and the wider Marketing team, you will deliver regional and practice-level activity that fuels new client registrations, deepens engagement and upholds our brand promise of creating a better world for pets and the people who love them. Acting as the day-to-day “face” of marketing for our vet partners, you’ll manage campaign delivery, web and social content, and point-of-sale collateral while continuously looking for smarter, more efficient ways of working. Success calls for curiosity, resilience and the confidence to challenge constructively, especially when navigating shifting local priorities and varied stakeholder needs across our growing pet care platform.
You'll be a confident and proactive marketing professional with experience delivering successful local or regional marketing campaigns that drive customer engagement and growth. A strong communicator, you'll be skilled at building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, providing expert advice and influencing outcomes through a collaborative approach.
You'll bring excellent copywriting and proofreading skills, with the ability to create compelling content across multiple channels while maintaining a consistent brand voice. Comfortable working across websites, email platforms and social media, you'll have a good understanding of digital marketing channels and how to optimise performance through data and insights.
Highly organised and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, you'll thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing priorities and meeting deadlines with ease. You'll also be confident analysing campaign results, identifying trends and using data to make recommendations that improve future activity.
Experience in a multi-channel marketing role is essential, ideally within a retail, franchise, healthcare or other customer-focused environment. Knowledge of CRM and marketing automation platforms, such as Salesforce, would be advantageous, as would experience supporting franchise or joint venture businesses. A marketing qualification such as CIM or IDM, familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud and an interest in the veterinary or pet care sector would also be beneficial.
Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you.

Since 1991, when we were a wholesaler with a team of just 15, we’ve been focused on getting better every day. By putting pets before profit, working as a team and taking pride in everything we do, we’ve grown into a 451 store network with more than 8,913 colleagues working in our Stores, Grooming Salons, Distribution Centres and Support Office.
We are the UK’s leading pet specialist, providing pet owners with all their product needs, as well as our Vets for Pets practices and Grooming salons. We support our colleagues to work with pride and passion, to bring honesty and integrity to work every day, and to do it all with a sense of fun and fearlessness. We never shy away from having the important conversations and doing what we say we’ll do.
Our values and behaviours are practiced daily across the business and are what really makes us an enjoyable, exciting place to work. We're always striving to develop and reward our colleagues with an extensive in-house series of training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and a comprehensive benefits package. In 2018 we were delighted to be voted top 5 in the Great Place to Work UK’s Large category.
Our colleagues are central to the success of the business and are fully trained in pet care and dedicated to animal welfare. Pets are central to everything that we do and 93% of colleagues have their own pets too!
