Junior Content & Ecommerce Coordinator (6 month fixed term contract)

Working approximately 15 hours across two days each week, you will help promote and grow a fast-moving ecommerce business based in Worthing. You will work closely with the business owner and wider team, contributing to live marketing campaigns, product launches and online sales channels.

The position is initially offered as a six-month, part-time fixed-term employment contract. If you perform well and the business continues to grow, there may be an opportunity for the role to become permanent, with increased hours and responsibilities. This will depend on performance and future business requirements and cannot be guaranteed.
