Key Responsibilities:

There has never been a more exciting time to join United’s Advertising and Social Media team. Recently shortlisting for six Drum Awards and earning the No. 5 spot on AdAge’s 2022 Marketer of the Year list, we’ve been innovating, improving and pushing the boundaries of what advertising and social media should look like in the aviation space.

By serving niche markets as well as flying to major destinations, United retains its position as the airline that flies to the largest number of destinations in the world.

This role will help look after cooperative and international advertising strategy and campaign execution. This includes two primary areas:

This position will assist in the development of end-to-end campaigns working closely with multiple internal teams such as Network Planning and Sales to external partners including agencies and tourism/airport/airline/government entities.

The ideal candidate is highly organized and brings passion and knowledge for marketing strategy and campaign execution. The ideal candidate also has a passion for building and fostering long-term relationships with internal and external partners.
