WE’RE HIRING

CONTENT & MARKETING MANAGER

Help us tell our story.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve worked hard to build our family business into what it is today.

What started with a passion for farming and quality meat has grown into a group of businesses covering the whole journey from farm to fork.

Today, our businesses include:

• Farming Enterprise
• Meat production & wholesale
• Three butcher shops
• Outdoor catering
• Ready Meals
• A team of around 50 people

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built but we don’t think we’re telling the story anywhere near as well as we could.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Content & Marketing Manager who can get right into the heart of our businesses, understand what makes them different and showcase it to the world.

This isn’t a job for someone who wants to sit behind a desk scheduling the occasional Facebook post.

We want someone who can be on the farm one day, behind the scenes with our butchers the next, filming the preparation for a large catering event at the weekend and then turning all of that into content that people genuinely want to watch.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

You’ll take responsibility for bringing our businesses to life across our social and digital channels.

That will include:

• Creating, filming and editing engaging long and short form videos
• Producing content for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Youtube
• Photography and behind-the-scenes content
• Finding the stories happening across our businesses every day
• Showcasing the people and skills behind what we do
• Developing campaigns to promote our products and services
• Coming to us with fresh marketing ideas and opportunities
• Identifying collaborations, partnerships and new ways to reach customers
• Helping turn great content into genuine enquiries and sales

Most importantly, we don't just want someone who waits to be told what to post.

We want ideas.

We want someone who looks at everything we have built and sees opportunities that perhaps even we haven't thought of yet.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You might already work in content, social media or marketing or you might simply be exceptionally good at creating content and looking for an opportunity to make something your own.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Creative and full of ideas
• Confident filming and editing video
• Comfortable using Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Youtube
• A good storyteller
• Commercially minded and understands that marketing should ultimately help grow a business
• Confident approaching staff and getting people involved in content
• Comfortable working across farms, food production, shops and events
• Organised and capable of working independently
• Excited by the opportunity to build something rather than simply maintain it

Experience with paid social advertising, email marketing, websites or digital campaigns would be a big advantage.

But qualifications aren't the most important thing to us.

We’re far more interested in what you can create, the ideas you have and what you think you could do with our story.

A ROLE WITH HUGE SCOPE

We’ve spent the last decade building the businesses.

Now we want someone who is excited about showing people what we’ve built and helping us take the next step.

There is an enormous amount of content here waiting to be captured, the farm, the people, the craftsmanship, the food, the events, the products and the journey from where our food starts to where it ends up.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to come into an established and growing family business, have genuine creative freedom and make the role their own.

Full-time position
Dumfries & Galloway
Competitive salary + performance-related bonus

Some flexibility will be required around occasional events and weekend content, with time given back during the week.

INTERESTED?

Send us your CV, a little bit about yourself and most importantly some examples of content you’ve personally created.

We’d also love to hear one idea you would be excited to bring to our businesses.

We’ve built the story. Now we’re looking for the right person to help us tell it.

With supermarkets now removing price caps on food, many shoppers are starting to see the real cost of what goes onto their plate.
For years, food has been driven by price wars. Cheaper, faster and mass produced. But when prices rise, it really makes you stop and think about what you’re actually paying for.
At The Butchery, we’ve never aimed to be the cheapest because premium quality, locally sourced produce (from our own farm) simply can’t be compared to mass-produced supermarket meat.
We work with our own local farm and other trusted local farmers, carefully source quality stock and focus on proper butchery, traceability, flavour and standards we’re proud to put our name to.
Yes, premium produce costs more but there’s a reason for that. Better welfare.
Better provenance.
Better flavour.
Better quality on your plate.
When you shop local, you’re not just buying meat, you’re supporting local farming, local jobs, and a food chain built on quality rather than compromise.
As the market changes, one thing won’t for us:
quality will always come first.
