Childsey is more than just a marketing business . Based in Nantwich, Cheshire, we are an ambitious and innovative company focused on growth-both for our clients and for ourselves. Alongside our core marketing services, we are actively involved in building and launching new business ventures. Our culture is entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and built on making a real impact.

The Opportunity

This is not a typical junior role. This is a rare opportunity to work as the right-hand person to our Managing Director, acting as the operational driving force behind launching new businesses. You will gain an unparalleled, real-world education in entrepreneurship, supporting new ventures from a spark of an idea to a fully operational business. If you are a natural problem-solver who is fascinated by what it takes to build a company from scratch, this role offers a unique platform for growth and a front-row seat to the entire process

What You'll Do

• Liaise with internal teams and external partners to build the necessary infrastructure for new businesses.
• Prepare clear and concise progress reports, summaries, and presentations for the Managing Director to support strategic decision-making.
• Wear multiple hats and adapt quickly: one day you might be testing a new SaaS platform and providing feedback, the next you could be helping to define a brand's go-to-market strategy.

What You'll Bring

• Essential: A true entrepreneurial mindset. You are proactive, resourceful, and a relentless problem-solver who doesn't wait to be told what to do.
• Essential: Superb organisational and project management skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple moving parts and maintain a keen focus on the end goal.
