Marketing Associate

About us

At Urban Jungle, we’re making insurance fair - to people, planet and wallets. We're one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, working to fix one of the biggest industries in the world.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do, using data and technology to make insurance simple, flexible, and affordable. 

We care about our impact on the planet, becoming a B Corp in 2022 and offsetting our carbon emissions every year. 

So far, we’ve helped 300,000 customers get better insurance and become one of the top-rated home insurance providers in the UK.

We placed 1st in Tempo's 2024 award for best startup to work for, and are in the top 10 of Deloitte’s Fast 50. We’ve raised over £43m in funding to date to help us with our mission.

We’re looking for people to join our team of kind, talented people on a mission to change the insurance industry for good.

About the role

We’re looking for a driven and enthusiastic Marketing Associate to help us achieve our ambitious growth plans.

In this role, you'll be working alongside our 3 strong marketing team, jumping in wherever the company needs you most. We operate across a huge range of marketing channels (Google PPC, Partnerships, Email, Social, and TV, etc.), so this is your chance to get hands-on experience and quickly learn and build your skills across a broad range of areas. 

Whether you’re testing ways to get more sales from search ads, creating engaging content for TikTok, or setting up a completely new channel, you'll have a key role in showing people why Urban Jungle is different and growing our customer base - coming up with ideas,  getting them live and measuring how they perform.

Working closely alongside our Head of Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer, you’ll get tons of responsibility and rapidly grow your ownership skills as you and the company learn and develop.

Here's what you'll get up to:

• You’ll be a marketing generalist, taking ownership of delivering marketing tests and campaigns.
• You’ll use a mixture of creative, analytical and project management skills to contribute ideas on what to do next, executing those ideas, and running analysis on how they performed.
• You’ll utilise customer and competitive insights to create compelling and effective marketing communication, including briefing and developing creative with 3rd parties (e.g designers) and writing copy yourself.
• You’ll get to dive into data from a range of sources to inform decisions, set goals and measure the impact of the tests we ship.
• You’ll work collaboratively with the rest of the business to make things happen.

You've read this far! Here's what we're looking for from you:

• We’re not looking for any previous experience, so long as you can demonstrate a genuine interest in marketing and/ or how brands communicate.
• You’re excited to learn about -  and get stuck into -  a broad range of marketing areas and channels, including creating compelling copy or content.
• A natural problem solver, you love asking questions and you’re never afraid to say “I don’t know.”
• You’re analytical, and interested in working out why something has happened.
• You’re a self-starter, who makes their own opportunities and pushes tasks to completion.
• You’re good at explaining exactly what you mean and know how to tailor your communication to different audiences.
• You’re passionate about helping customers, and excited by Urban Jungle’s mission to make insurance fairer.

These requirements are a guide as to what we’re looking for, but if you don’t have all of the skills listed above, that’s okay! Please don’t let that hold you back from applying if the role excites you.

We’re taking an office-centric approach to work (with lots of flexibility built-in) and the team is based in Oval, London.

• Real Impact. You’ll work on big, interesting problems that will challenge you, and do so in a way that has a positive impact on people’s lives, the planet and our community.
• A Clear Plan. We’ll give you the clarity on what we want to achieve, with the freedom and autonomy for you to decide how we get there.
