About us
Hattingley Valley is one of England’s leading sparkling wine producers, based in the heart of Hampshire. We planted our first vines in 2008, built our winery in 2010 and released our first vintage in 2013. In that time we’ve grown into a name that’s recognised and respected across the wine world.
We work with our own vineyards and trusted growers across the South of England, and our wines are made by Head Winemaker Rob MacCulloch MW, one of a small number of Masters of Wine making wine in England. Our wines have won over 230 awards and are enjoyed across the UK and in 16 countries worldwide.
Three ideas shape everything we do. We care about craft, taking real care over every detail from the vineyard to the final pour. We’re approachable, knowledgeable without ever being stuffy, and we want everyone to feel welcome at our table. And we’re intentional, so nothing happens by accident, from the wine in the bottle to the words on the label. It’s how we make our wine, and it’s how we want our marketing to feel too.
About the role
This is a hands-on role in a small, close-knit marketing team. You’ll report directly to the Marketing Manager and be the on-site marketing point of contact at the estate. That makes you the first port of call for colleagues across sales, hospitality, events and winemaking. You’ll have real ownership of our channels and plenty of room to bring ideas to the table.
In a typical week you might plan next month’s social calendar, build a Klaviyo campaign for a new release, tweak a Meta Ads campaign that isn’t pulling its weight, write a blog post on harvest, and turn around a menu or a sales sheet for a colleague down the corridor. No two weeks look quite the same.
The role is based at our estate in Lower Wield five days a week. After a successful 90-day probation, this moves to four days on site and one day working from home.
