Operations Executive

GottaBe! is a solutions-based marketing agency. We take clients challenges and present the solutions whether it is attracting new audiences, inspiring and engaging existing audiences or creating something different. Are you up for a challenge?

As an award-winning, independent marketing agency. We’re a creative team who can deliver fun and exciting campaigns that get people talking – in fact, we have been creating them for over 15 years now. Our client portfolio includes the likes of Western Union, Specsavers, PayPal, Uber, Domino’s Pizza, Ding, the NHS and many more.

A lot has changed already in the last 12 months at GottaBe!; we’re now a Living Wage Employer, launched our brand-new look, and added a new award to the trophy cabinet (GG2 Leadership and Diversity Award – Independent Marketing Agency of the Year), with much more still to come; we are looking to expand further.

Motivated, hungry and passionate individual to join the team as our Operations Executive.

Sounds great!? What will you do in your role…

Are you a problem solver who loves to deliver campaigns from start to finish, travel and meeting new people? Then this could be the right role for you. At GottaBe!, our clients are at the heart of everything we do, so we need a passionate individual to deliver our client’s campaigns and events to the highest possible standard

The Operations Executive will support the management team and our clients by executing events and overseeing the delivery of campaigns (big and small) across the UK. You will play an essential role in the planning and delivery of our campaigns, so we’re looking for someone who loves to travel and doesn’t mind early starts or late finishes and even over the weekend to get the job done.
