Global Moto is a motorcycle dealership management group with dealers located all over the UK. Our Flagship store in Essex, Colchester Kawasaki & Piaggio has won MCN dealer of the year multiple times and is the largest Kawasaki dealer in the UK.

The Global Moto brand is growing rapidly and we are looking for a keen, hard working Graphic Designer & Marketing Executive who can produce market leading work to push us ahead within the motorcycle industry. We are constantly expanding, and our company is ambitious, driven and has vast expansion plans meaning the applicant must share the same level of passion.

Due to our dealers being based all across the country we have opened up our search for the perfect candidate nationwide. The successful candidate will be based at the dealership in the group that is closest to them. This is a very exciting opportunity for a design and marketing genius looking to grow and apply their creative flair to the booming motorcycle industry. This role is perfect if you’re looking to apply your expert design skills to exciting new projects within a quickly growing brand.

This role will include producing up to date content and imagery for our state-of-the-art websites featuring the latest deals and campaigns. You must also be confident in handling multiple social media accounts and will work closely with our social media team producing fresh and relevant content on a daily basis. We have a huge social media following across our platforms and you will be responsible for growing these channels further. It’d be an advantage if you have experience in video production and editing as this complements the rest of the responsibilities really well.

This role is not suited to someone who is close-minded and set in a particular way of working, we are not looking for someone who brings years of experience in a rigid and inflexible format.
