Entry Level Marketing Associate (GCSE)

Description Kickstart your marketing career with Knowt! We’re looking for a creative, social-media-savvy marketer to build Knowt’s GCSE-focused social media presence from scratch on TikTok and Instagram. This role will be responsible for introducing Knowt to GCSE students (primarily UK-based, but globally relevant) and driving them to the platform through content that feels authentic, relatable, and student-first. You’ll work closely with our Marketing Manager and CMO to grow Knowt’s 6.5M+ user base, while owning the strategy, voice, and execution of Knowt’s GCSE social channels. This is a high-ownership role with lots of creative freedom and room to experiment. This role is ideal for recent grads or early-career marketers who completed GCSEs (and ideally A-levels) and deeply understand the GCSE student experience. (No visa sponsorship available.) Are You the Right Fit? You’ll Thrive In This Role If You

• Live for short-form content and know what works on TikTok & Instagram.
• Think independently and feel confident testing, iterating, and shipping ideas quickly.
• Have bold, creative ideas that push boundaries while still feeling authentic to students.
• Understand the GCSE student voice and UK-specific culture, humor, and vernacular.

• Excellent communication and organizational skills
