The Marketing Events & Comms Executive role is responsible for helping to deliver an exciting programme of events and sponsorship-related activities. Our comprehensive programme of events includes multiple trade shows and exhibitions throughout the year; large format internal events; and organised hospitality, including the management of our Corporate Box at Saracens. 

Supporting our business goals across the bank, including those of our Consumer and Enterprise franchises but also our broader brand ambitions, events and sponsorship play a key role in our marketing strategy. 

Our events and hospitality calendar gives our sales people and front-line teams some fantastic opportunities to get in front of customers, brokers and partners to help generate new business.  So ensuring logistics run smoothly is critical – it’s your role to ensure the right people have the right information at the right time to make the most of these opportunities.

So to help deliver brilliant experiences for our people, customers and intermediaries, how could you help bring our brand to life at both physical and virtual events?  How could you help get our brand in front of a wider audience through our sponsorship activities?  And how could you work with the rest of marketing to ensure our events and sponsorship activity is joined-up with other channels, e.g. Social Media?

Saracens is our primary sponsorship asset, which we leverage to help build awareness of the Shawbrook brand; to create unique and compelling content; and to host clients, staff and intermediaries at matches, delivering an exclusive experience for all.  Our relationship with Saracens also extends to the Saracens Foundation, with whom we have co-created the Empower Her project to help inspire and develop the next generation of future female leaders through sport.  Your role will give you the opportunity to get fully involved with the sponsorship, helping to deliver various activities that help us make the most of this valuable relationship.
