ABOUT ARTICULATE

At Articulate Marketing we work together to build a good company, do remarkable work and communicate effectively. You’ll be joining an 16-person, entrepreneurial company in an ambitious but informal role – we take our work seriously; ourselves, less so. As a remote-working organisation, we pay extra attention to developing and maintaining our culture. That means we’re looking for:

  • A rugged individualist rather than a corporate clone. We like someone with a good sense of themselves.
  • Someone willing to speak up when they need support. This is a two-way street: we need you to put yourself forward, volunteer ideas and offer your help as well.
  • Someone comfortable with communicating via web conferencing, Slack, Basecamp and email. Really communicating. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just get in there and put effort into getting to know people.
  • A person who has a genuine interest in participating in the life of the company, whether than means participating in meetings or in our social events (for example, we like to have a virtual pub night in on occasion. No cliques or office politics here, just people who enjoy one another’s company).
  • You to be able to come to London on a regular basis – 8 to 12 times a year – for company and client meetings. We pay your travel costs. You must be based in the UK or the EU.
