Marketing Intern

The Role

At Notpla, we’re at the forefront of sustainable innovation, creating natural alternatives to single-use plastic packaging that are carefully engineered to help build a healthier planet. Founded on the belief that nature is our North Star, we’re an innovative, action-oriented scale-up developing and manufacturing uncompromisingly natural packaging solutions from seaweed and plants.

We are looking for a Marketing Intern to join our Marketing & Communications team for a fixed term of up to 6 months. As a Marketing Intern, you'll gain hands on experience across digital marketing, content creation and campaign delivery, supporting the team to bring our brand to life across multiple channels. You'll work closely with marketers, designers and commercial teams to support the creation of engaging content, maintain our digital presence and help deliver campaigns that drive awareness of Notpla and our mission.

Our office-first working culture promotes a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere while maximising productivity. We’re a social business with regular clubs and events, and we’re proud of how our diverse, mission-driven community works together to make plastic disappear.

As a Marketing Intern, you'll support a wide variety of marketing activities, from supporting the creation of social content and updating the website to researching trends and supporting integrated campaigns. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to develop practical marketing experience in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment where curiosity, creativity and initiative are encouraged.

To succeed in this role, you'll be organised, proactive and eager to learn. You'll enjoy content creation, keeping up with digital trends and finding new ways to engage audiences. An interest in AI tools, sustainability and modern marketing will help you thrive as part of a collaborative and ambitious team.
