About First Mile

First Mile is a leading UK sustainability services provider and certified B Corp, delivering waste management and recycling solutions to more than 40,000 business customers nationwide. Operating across retail, hospitality, commercial offices and mixed-use estates, the business combines technology-enabled services with established recycling infrastructure to drive high recycling rates, transparent reporting and measurable environmental impact.

Backed by Warren Equity Partners, First Mile has ambitious plans for both organic and acquisitive growth and is actively pursuing opportunities to strengthen its market position through strategic acquisitions — including the recent addition of Greenzone Facilities Management to the Group. It's an exciting, fast-moving environment where our people play a central role in supporting growth, integration and delivering an exceptional service to our customers.

Role Purpose

The Marketing Executive supports the delivery of customer marketing activity that engages, retains and grows the value of First Mile's customer base. The role combines hands-on CRM and lifecycle marketing with day-to-day management of First Mile's organic social media channels and the creation and upkeep of content on thefirstmile.co.uk and the Customer Portal.

Customer Marketing is the role's primary focus, covering customer journeys, email campaigns and retention activity that reduce churn and drive revenue. The role also supports the Brand & Comms and Performance Marketing teams, helping to keep First Mile's channels active, accurate, on-brand and focused on commercial outcomes.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
