Content Assistant

I’m hiring. 🫪

2026 has been a lot. Like, more work than I planned for, and a to-do list that never seems to get any shorter, a lot.

But, after a period of sustained growth, it's time to bring someone in! We're looking for a Content Assistant to join (and form) the LS MKTN team.

If you know someone at the start of their career who'd be a good fit, feel free to send them my way. 🤘

LS MKTN is a marketing consultancy and content-led business focused on creating thoughtful, high-quality content that supports commercial growth.

We work with founder-led businesses to turn their expertise into clear, effective and engaging content across multiple channels, from blogs and thought leadership to email marketing and organic social media.

After a period of sustained growth, we’re now looking for a Content Assistant to join the team. 

This role is ideal for someone at the beginning of their career, who wants to develop strong communication, editorial, and marketing skills, while supporting the delivery of engaging organic social and broader content strategies for our clients.

You’ll work closely with the founder to gain hands-on experience with how content strategies are both developed and delivered.
