The Role

We're looking for a versatile and highly creative Content Specialist to join the Altra EMEA Marketing team.

This role serves as the team's in-house creative resource, combining graphic design, content creation and AI-powered creative development to support marketing initiatives across the region.

Working as a hands-on creator, you will personally design, capture, edit and deliver content that brings the Altra brand to life across Europe. From adapting global campaign assets for regional needs to creating original content at events, athlete activations and product launches, you will play a critical role in helping the brand connect with consumers, customers and partners.

Unlike traditional marketing content roles, this position is focused on hands-on content creation rather than agency management. The successful candidate will personally create, capture, edit and deliver content across multiple formats and channels while helping the team embrace new AI-powered creative workflows.

This role is ideal for a modern creative professional who is equally comfortable designing in Adobe Creative Suite, filming and editing video content, capturing photography and leveraging emerging AI technologies to improve creative output, efficiency and effectiveness.

  • Building and maintaining a library of original EMEA content assets.
  • Identifying opportunities to maximise the value of content by repurposing assets across multiple channels and markets.

AI-Powered Creative Development

Leverage emerging AI technologies to enhance creative output and improve production efficiency.

Responsibilities include:

  • Using AI-powered tools to accelerate image, design and video workflows.
  • Developing creative asset variations to support different marketing requirements.
  • Exploring and implement AI-generated creative solutions where appropriate.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve content production through AI-enabled workflows.
  • Staying current with emerging creative technologies and best practices.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with marketing stakeholders across the business to support content and creative requirements spanning:
