Requirements
Remote working (UK only). You will need to be roughly no more than 80 miles from Cheltenham (as the crow flies) as you will regularly be required to be located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with Senior Management.
We can only accept applications from candidates who can prove their eligibility to work in the UK. Tiny Lagoon Studios does not provide visa sponsorship.
We believe in being kind, generous and honest as well as hardworking and passionate. Tiny Lagoon Studios is open to hearing from professionals returning to work. If you’ve had a little time out with your family or taken a career break, we’re happy to consider you if you have the right skills.
We are looking for someone with the right cultural fit as much as the attributes for the role. Whilst the core function of the role will require the individual to have top-notch digital skills, we are happy to consider up-skilling the right individual in any rusty areas. We are very much looking to hire for ‘will’ as much as ‘skill’ if the individual has the right attitude for joining our close-knit team.
About the company
Tiny Lagoon Studios is a creative solutions agency specialising in consumer marketing providing Content, Design, Social Media, Web and Marketing expertise to large and small businesses alike.
Founded by a brother and sister duo, Tiny Lagoon was born out of the desire to help businesses looking for a more humble approach to their outsourcing experience. At Tiny Lagoon we believe everyone deserves quality and care.
Our vision
Local touch on a global scale.
If you feel as strongly as we do about encouraging everyone to live life on a more down to earth level, then this could be the perfect environment for you to work in. Our goal is to be authentic, not unique. You’ll find our uniqueness in what we build for our clients and the relationships that we are proud to hold.
