Sales & Marketing Manager

Due to the increased workload now generated by development of ATA, there is an exciting opportunity for a suitable candidate to assume a lead role in the coordination and management of future ATA plans. The role will include marketing and sales of ATA and ATA brands*, including management, planning, and execution of projects. 

Candidates will work to a general plan of development based on quarterly strategy meetings with ATA board members and be supported by ATA administration and specific senior ATA members throughout.

Candidates should be proficient in marketing and development of brands and familiar with promotional platforms including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Tik Tok, WordPress, email templates, Mail Chimp, QR codes and other elements. Candidates must be comfortable with both face to face and online meetings via platforms such as Teams and Zoom and be capable of chairing or hosting same.

This essentially a hybrid role with candidates working from home but also required to travel around the UK to attend events, meet with ATA business partners and industry stakeholders and attend regular meetings with ATA senior staff.

The role is considered to be full time. An initial 12-month contract with 6-month review for both parties is suggested followed by an agreed rolling contract thereafter. 

Basic salary around £30-£40,000 commensurate with experience and to include expenses. A further element of commission is also available based on development targets including growth of ATA membership.
