Digital Marketing Executive Hybrid working

Are you a creative and commercially minded digital marketer looking for a hybrid part-time role (22.5 hours per week, minimum of 1 day per week in the office) where you can truly make your mark? 

Our client is an established, family-run jewellery brand with over 40 years of heritage, based in the historic city centre of York.
