Key skills

Editing and writing skills. You will need to devise and edit content for various digital platforms. So, compiling and writing blog posts will be an integral part of the job.

Communications. You will need to be able to explain to others (who may not be familiar with the medium,) how digital technologies work. Key to this will be the ability to understand your colleagues roles.

Video Editing. Website and social media content will not just be text but frequently visual as well. Therefore, basic editing skills or use of cloud-based tools to create video-based content will be very useful.

Web Skills. You will need to be able to directly manage website content on our WordPress site(s). So, content marketing, email lists and SEO will also be yours!

Project Skills. You should be excellent at handling time-sensitive projects, repeat-cycle work and working to deadlines.

Flexibility. Being part of a fast-growing business means thinking on your feet. Having a passion for the unknown and being motivated by our vision. You can see that every day will be different and that needs to excite you.

Qualifications

A qualification in marketing (or a professional equivalent) is helpful, but not essential. Most important to Fortress is experience in a similar business.

Even more important is a drive to succeed in a growing business.

Note for a COVID world. Lockdown means that all recruitment currently requires the team to be positive and comfortable with working remotely. Eventually we will reconvene in Farnborough, but for now it’s Zoom, baby!
