Marketing Executive - Join a Brand-New UK Travel Agency!

Hybrid (Leicestershire-based) £24K-£28K DOE + Benefits Full Time

Are you a creative, driven marketer with a love for travel?

Want to shape a new brand and make your mark from day one?

Auria Travel is launching in June 2025 with a bold vision: blending digital convenience with personal service. With our first retail store opening this summer in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, we're looking for a hands-on Marketing Executive to join us at the start of our journey.

This is a hybrid role for someone early in their career - a recent graduate or junior marketer - who's ready to get stuck in, take ownership, and grow fast. You'll manage digital campaigns, run social media, create engaging content, coordinate local marketing, and help us plan unforgettable customer events.

Auria Travel is an exciting new independent travel agency launching in the UK in summer 2025. With a fully bookable online platform and our flagship retail store opening in the heart of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, we're all about creating exceptional travel experiences - from tailor-made escapes to inspiring adventures.

We're now looking for a bright, hands-on and passionate Marketing Executive to join us at the very start of this exciting journey and grow with our brand. If you're a driven graduate or junior-level marketer looking to take ownership, gain breadth of experience, and thrive in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment - this is your moment.

We're really proud of our new brand, and we want you to help us convey that. You'll be our go-to marketing person, responsible for delivering day-to-day marketing activity and bringing the Auria Travel brand to life across digital and offline channels. With support from the Founder and access to external specialists where needed, you'll have real autonomy and space to carve out the role as you grow with us.

This is a varied and rewarding role ideal for someone who's creative, digitally savvy, commercially minded, and genuinely excited about travel.
