About the position
We are looking for a Digital Marketing Specialist who understands the nuances of digital communication and how to adapt scientific and technical information for an online audience. While digital communication will be the core of the work for this role, it is also important that you are comfortable producing printed material that can be sent out via post or used at events such as conferences.
You will also be responsible for organising online and in-person events. This could be organising the marketing material to be presented at a conference or hosting a webinar for a given field. The ability to organise yourself and others will be essential for this role.
You will also need strong interpersonal skills. As a part of your role, you will need to interact with different departments within Symcel in order to understand various projects and what are their communications needs. You will often be dependent on others to complete your work so having strong communication skills and the ability to develop good working relationships is critical for this role. You will be interacting with the marketing and sales departments on a daily basis and have weekly interactions with applications and production teams. The position reports to Symcel’s Marketing Manager and with a very close interaction with the S&M Director.
Symcel is a company grounded in science and technology. We use isothermal microcalorimetry to help researchers in industry and academia to find answers to problems in fields as diverse as antibiotic resistance and cancer. This means that as a communication specialist, you will have to be able to quickly grasp different scientific concepts in order to produce accurate and compelling marketing material. A scientific background would be advantageous, however, it is more important that you can demonstrate an ability to learn quickly and utilise the insight of experts in the company effectively.

Experience with digital marketing/communication
Organisation skills that can be used to plan and run events
A scientific background
A good understanding of social media platforms
