Job description
Content Marketing Executive
Hybrid Role (London-based 2 days per week)
For the past five years, Hive Learning has helped some of the world's most influential organisations create and embed culture change digitally and at scale. And in the past 18 months, our mission has become even more urgent. We specialise in accelerating culture change in areas like inclusion, mental health, sustainability, and innovation –– areas that today are more critical today than they have ever been.
And our approach works. 88% of our learners change their behaviour thanks to our unique approach.

Our Values
We work really hard on our culture, and we're committed to creating a supportive, growth-minded and inclusive team.
Our 4 key values underpin everything we do:
- Experts, but not always right
- Substance before "sizzle"
- Caring and courageous
- Evergreen entrepreneurs
We care deeply about giving feedback in the right way. We champion a test and learn approach, and we're not afraid of failure. We're always looking for ways to improve, and respect everyone's ideas. What's more, we really take the time to invest in building great relationships with our colleagues and practice what we preach in our learning programmes.
Why this role might not be right for you…
We love working here, but we know that not every company is right for every person. Here's a few reasons why working at Hive Learning may not be right for you:
- We're honest but supportive with our feedback and sharing feedback is part of our day-to-day routine –– the good, the constructive and the sometimes hard to hear. So make sure that's something you're comfortable with and keen to embrace.
- As with any scaling company, things move quickly and priorities sometimes change quickly so you'll need to be happy in a fast-moving environment
- We know that home working is awesome for creating deep focus (especially when you're writing), but we also love the time we spend together building our relationships and getting stuck into creative problem solving, so if you never want to step inside an office again, this may not be the role for you

If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you. After reviewing your application, if it seems like a good fit, we'll contact you to arrange a quick screening call. After that, it's typically a two-stage interview, with a task or scenario thrown in too, but we'll give you all the details during the screening call.
If you require any reasonable adjustments throughout the interview process, please let us know.
We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to making Hive Learning an inclusive and supportive workplace.
