The Marketing Coordinator Apprentice (Ellesse) Mission:

As Marketing Coordinator, you’ll support the marketing team to bring Ellesse to life through brilliantly executed fundamentals. Your mission is to help deliver campaigns, product storytelling, community moments, and day-to-day coordination that keeps the brand moving with pace and polish.

This is a great entry-level role for someone who wants to build a career in sports and fashion brand marketing. You’ll gain exposure to how a global brand operates across campaigns, content, partnerships, and licensed markets – and you’ll become known as the person who makes things happen, properly.

How you'll drive success:

• Work towards completing the Marketing Executive Apprenticeship standard.

• Participate in and complete the internal Apprenticeship Programme.

• Supporting seasonal campaign rollouts, including timelines, asset organisation, approvals, and delivery checklists.

• Coordinating cross-functional actions (brand, design, digital, PR, partners) to keep projects on track.

• Managing briefing documents, meeting notes, actions, and status reporting.

• Maintaining marketing asset libraries, including final files, usage rights notes, and version control.

• Supporting localisation requests with the right guardrails so global brand consistency is protected.

• Assisting with product copy, basic briefs, and content requests across channels, including digital, retail, and PR.

• Supporting community and event activations, including logistics, guest lists, seeding lists, and on-the-day run of show support.

• Coordinating creator and community initiatives, including outreach, briefing support, and follow-ups.

• Manage product samples and own sample process.

• Supporting competitor and culture tracking to feed insights back into planning and storytelling.

• Helping build internal updates and decks that keep stakeholders aligned.

• Ensuring all work reflects Ellesse brand identity, standards, and compliance requirements.

What you'll need to thrive:

• Graduate level or early career experience in marketing, communications, events, digital, or a related area (internships or placement experience welcomed).

• A clear desire to build a career in sportswear, fashion, and culture-led brand marketing.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and timelines.

• Confident communication skills: clear emails, good follow-ups, and calm under pressure.

• A good eye for creative, styling, and presentation, and an instinct for what feels premium and on brand.

• Curiosity and initiative: you ask smart questions, spot gaps, and propose practical fixes.

• Collaboration skills and a positive, can-do mindset when working with multiple stakeholders.

• Basic skills in PowerPoint or Keynote and spreadsheet reporting.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with content workflows including briefing, approvals, file naming, and version control. 

• An interest in tennis, racket sport culture, ski, or broader fashion communities. 

Alongside a competitive salary and discretionary bonus, we offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your wellbeing, flexibility, and life outside work.
