Where: Spain

Deadline: February 1, 2018

Type: Placement Year

About the Company:

King's Group is an international education organisation. We own and operate a network of British international schools and UK Academies, and complement this with services providing children’s Academic Year Abroad programmes and Summer Courses, Adult Training and Catering Services.

About the Role:

Working within the Marketing Department at our Group Central Services in Madrid, you will be interacting
with all different areas of King’s Group.

  • Building upon Digital Marketing, Online Social Media and Event Management and skills to enhance, sell and improve the visibility of King’s College schools and Business Units
  • Gaining hands-on experience with marketing and communication tools used by King's Group to engage and encourage buy-in from ex-pupils (alumni) of the school
  • Learning how to deliver an “all-round outcome” to include the school, alumni and future enrolees – satisfying all stakeholders
  • Learning how communication works internally within the organisation and externally – this will include not only alumni and internal colleagues, but also external partners and suppliers

Please Note: Approximately 80% of the work done by the marketing team is in English and 20% in Spanish. For this reason we need an intern who has a native competency level of English and is highly literate, because copywriting, editing and proofreading in English is a key part of the job. Applicants with basic or intermediate Spanish skills will have some advantage over students who do not speak any Spanish, but this is more to do with enjoying life in Madrid and making friends outside of work.

    • An outgoing communicator & organiser
    • Confident to pick up the phone and “make it happen”
    • Strong computer literacy skills – experience of using Microsoft Office
    • Understanding of Digital Marketing, online Social Media and Blogging a strong advantage
    • Native competency level of English with a good knowledge of Spanish a strong advantage
    • Confident to write emails and conduct telephone & F2F communications in Spanish
    • Ability to work to tight deadlines and under pressure
    • Ability to demonstrate outstanding attention to detail and accuracy
  • Special Requirements:
    • Good team player, but able to work on own initiative
    • Creative and self-motivated attitude to problem solving
    • Ability to come up with, assess and deliver new marketing ideas, with a focus to manage and run the online social networks
    • Excellent customer service and social skills
    • Flexible approach to work, happy to “juggle” different projects at the same time
