Your scope

As a Junior Marketing Specialist at SThree, you will have exciting times ahead. You will explore the world of marketing in all its facets; online, offline, campaigns, content, events, B2B, B2C, and merchandise.

Your main responsibilities consist of increasing our brand visibility and awareness of our go-to-market brands for both of our target audiences, candidates and clients. You will run your own projects and campaigns for our brands in Japan: Computer Futures, Progressive, Huxley, Real, Global Enterprise Partners and SThree. In addition to your own projects, you will also support on marketing projects and events. A dynamic role in which you effortlessly switch between various online and offline marketing activities:

• Content creation: from interviews to blog posts, and from reels for social media to email marketing - you create content that engages people.
• Content calendar: you manage the content calendar for our local brands and ensure it is timely posted on our social channels and websites.
• Social media management: you know what's happening on our socials, post engaging content, and ensure interaction with our followers. Our existing social channels are LinkedIn, Instagram and X.
• Website optimisation: websites are our "face" on the internet. You'll work on continuous improvements to optimise the customer journey of our candidates and clients while implementing the best SEO practices.
• Events and projects: from vibrant ambassador events to participating in congresses- you help plan and execute unforgettable experiences.

You will also spend time tracking trends and developments within the markets and target groups for our brands ( Computer Futures, Progressive, Huxley, Real and Global Enterprise Partners). Knowledge is key. By reading, researching, talking, and listening, you will ensure you know what's top of mind for our clients and candidates.

Your team

You will be part of the regional team that supports our business and brands in the Netherlands, Spain, the Middle East (MENA), and Asia Pacific (APAC). The Japan team comes together in our office every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You will be encouraged to be in the office environment as much as possible to understand our business, culture, and people. You'll report directly to our Head of Marketing for APAC and MENA, based in Japan, and work closely with your colleagues in the region and your global peers.
