We are seeking a Marketing Assistant to increase awareness of The CNS Company, a division of TCTC, within the international pharmaceutical and medical device industries allowing The CLINICAL TRIAL Company™ Limited to use the new collateral to help generate leads for business development. 

This position will report to the Business Development Manager and will be based in our Stirling office in Scotland, 37.5 hours per week. 

Following a period of business change, it has been identified that the reporting and Business Intelligence capabilities are deficient and do not currently satisfy the requirements of the business from operational through to management level.

Phase one will build a suitable data access layer, which will be constructed to consolidate the various data sources identified for reporting. This will be a common dimensional data model suitable for use on a variety of technologies.  Following the construction of this model, phase two will require evaluation of suitable business intelligence and reporting platforms spanning our existing platform to the newer and more advanced cloud based offerings.  Once evaluated, it will extend to a re-development and implementation of new (and existing) reporting dashboards/reports on this new platform.

This project aligns to our newly proposed IT strategy which governs the stability of software platforms used within the business to ensure future capability and support, while exploiting cloud based technologies. The introduction of an effective business reporting solution will greatly aid the capabilities of management decision making.

The overall aim of this project is to enable the provision of ‘one-touch’ availability of highly complex data in the form of a multi-tier reporting suite. There will also be significant efficiency gains, as existing reporting is a slow and inaccurate process with a heavy reliance on manual reporting based on data extraction.

The new technology also offers additional benefit to be explored around the real-time analytics domain which could be used to report on real time telemetry from factory equipment – thus improving overall equipment effectiveness.

The successful candidate will work with external consultants to develop a cloud based intranet facility covering two areas:

1. Employee interaction – the first stage HR digital services in the form of information flow, a holiday booking system and a training certificate system.
2. Key Customer interaction – Homes Client portal in the form of Homes related plans & designs, and customer choices being available to clients via their own login. 

Both of these services are likely to be delivered via Sharepoint.

The graduate will coordinate the development of the facility, roll-out, training and initial support to other members of staff.

Specific tasks of the placement will include:

This position is part funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the European Regional Development Fund.

You will become a key part of the team which is tasked with managing a range of internal and external projects. The scope of possibilities is endless as the team are constantly developing new ideas and products and your input will be invaluable to this, as we assess how we manage our processes, both internally and externally. Over the duration of the placement you will be working on projects for our customers and this will allow you to gain exposure of working on commercial subjects. You will be able to develop your current understanding of Project Management in a practical setting where your ideas and input will be recognised.

Working with SDF and external experts and trainers from the field, you will work to develop online e-learning materials which are attractive and suitable for a range of stakeholders. This includes those who work with people who use drugs in housing, employability and other contexts, to people working within the drugs field finding out more about areas of interest or concern (e.g. ‘legal highs’). Scottish Drugs Forum has approximately 34 full time equivalent staff, and of these, 13 posts involve training as part (or all) of their remit. SDF currently provides over 40 training courses that last between one and four days.

SDF could use e-learning to augment and supplement this training e.g. to prepare people for face-to-face group training, to use as a useful background, or to complement engagement with other SDF activity including:

• A National Quality Development Team undertaking user involvement, consultancy with services and training activity across Scotland
• A Naloxone Team working across Scotland undertaking consultancy and training activity
• A Blood Borne Virus Team undertaking comms, consultancy and user involvement activity across Scotland
• User involvement staff working with volunteers in Ayrshire and Fife
• Employability staff working with groups of trainees in Edinburgh and Glasgow

This project will identify the most effective means to develop SDF’s e-learning capacity and help work this change through the organisation. The project will help develop and deliver a corporate learning and e-learning strategy and action plan for both internal and external stakeholders.

This project involves:

• An audit of what training is currently undertaken, identification of how e-learning may improve or augment the training
• Consultation with staff on their expectations of e-learning, capacity to deliver etc. and a plan to increase this capacity as required
• Consultation with stakeholders on what they want in terms of e-learning – their capacity to participate in e-learning, what they want, and their particular areas of interest
• Consultation with colleagues with specialist knowledge (including trainers) to advise on content, format, and the best means to convey sometimes quite complex messages to target audiences via e-learning
• Building high quality attractive e-learning packages using appropriate software
• Contributing to the marketing of these e-learning products and identifying markets and funders for such content.

As part of our international business growth strategy you will be in a leading position to make tactical enhancements in our B2B capabilities. Deploying your skills and knowledge in across multiple approaches, from direct marketing to cutting-edge social media channels, you will also be able to learn from the leadership and expertise of the international marketing expert you will be working alongside.

Our digital marketing capabilities need to be enhanced and you will work alongside the Marketing Coordinator to review and improve our online presence. You will develop the existing website with strategic content and layout improvements.

The placement will also focus on e-marketing campaigns, champion Google AdWords campaigns and develop our social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube).

We are a business which welcomes fresh ideas and there will be an opportunity for full time employment and career progression within the company at the end of the placement for the right candidate.

Our clients continue to expect high levels of innovation, whether radical or incremental. This project would take a critical look at our Client solutions and research incremental enhancements to client facing features and then you would be tasked with designing and developing these within a team environment. In addition, the project will take in a number of industry solutions, all focused around Competency and Learning management.

To give this all some context, the online training corporate market is expected to grow by 13% per annum up to 2017. Today, 77% of companies in USA offer online corporate training to improve the professional and personal development of their employees.

We are currently developing an innovative power solution which could either be used in conjunction with renewable energy power supplies or generators.  Given the current position of the new technology within product development, we are now looking to recruit two graduates who have expertise in power electronics, to assist our wider development team in getting the project to the completion phase.

These roles will report directly to the Project Manager. Key members of the team that the candidate will interact with will be the Sales Director and the Technical Sales team.

As part of the new growth strategy, we need to establish a digital marketing strategy which produces regular and informative content which in turn should produce enquiries for the sales team.

You will be tasked with creating a strategy, working with web developers and SEO specialists to produce targeted marketing campaigns to help facilitate sales growth. A Social Media presence will be created, email marketing plans put in place and managing updates and blog on the new footwear website.

You will be reporting back to the Sales & Marketing Manager.

As part of a rapid expansion plan Taytech currently have  the need to upgrade current the company’s integrated business management system with a view to protecting the new expanded company from future compliance challenges in Health, Safety, Environment and Quality areas.

The placement will involve travel throughout the UK and you will be playing a key role in underpinning the growth targets of Taytech. Following successful delivery of the initial placement, a full time, permanent role, could be available.

This 12 month placement will report to our Commercial Manager and you will split your time across the two sides of the project (depending on demand). In effect, you will have the best of both worlds - firstly, your recently acquired marketing skills will help us to shape and implement our marketing strategy, both traditional and digital and secondly, as a recent graduate, you will gain vital and perhaps career defining exposure to how a business operates internally and you will bring enthusiasm and professionalism to our sales administration processes. Both of these key areas of our business require a dedicated approach and given that we have a brand, new products and lots to say to new and existing customers, you can see exactly where your role fits in the overall business model.

We recognise that in order to compete successfully in this market and increase sales with the major stationery retailers, we need to introduce more product innovation and re-fresh our ranges more frequently. Our plan would be to introduce 2 new ranges on an annual basis (Spring and Autumn) and we will look to invest more time developing innovative features in our products and packaging. This project will allow us to do that and help us deliver on these ambitions, faster and at the same time, increase the quality of our overall offering.

We are looking for three graduates to work on projects covering the following areas of our manufacturing processes, all of which are connected to a wider business efficiency project. You must have a firm interest in life sciences and be appropriately qualified. These roles provide an outstanding opportunity to put your recently acquired skills/knowledge to good use in an environment which will be challenging but will also be career defining.

• Technical data capture, analysis and trending, specifically with regard to manufacturing process refinement, such as final visual inspection. This facilitates product QA release.
• Microbiological monitoring and environmental controls, data handling and analysis, specifically with regard to manufacturing cleanroom process operations.
• Inventory management and product documentation handling with regard to receipt of pharmacopeial grade, manufacturing starting materials and at the front end of manufacturing processes.

The roles will report to the Manufacturing Team Leader.
