Marketing Assistant

Come and work as part of ARCC Innovations in a fast-growing innovative company. The ARCC team is looking for a social media and Marketing Assistant to join us in Cambridge, UK. We’re a fast-growing team looking for a talented marketing professional to join our Marketing team.

About ARCC

At ARCC, we research, we design, we develop, we problem solve, we mentor, we build, and we continuously improve.

Based in Cambridge in the United Kingdom, we are a Research and Development centre invested in keeping engineering and design in the UK. As well as designing and developing our own products and systems, we also provide assistance and mentoring to university graduates, and act as an incubator facility to assist start-ups in establishing and growing their business.

ARCC is a not-for-profit corporation owned by a team who have achieved great success, and now want to help others with the same vision and ambition realise their objectives here in the UK, rather than elsewhere.

We also design and develop bikes. ARCC Bikes began following the success of our electric Intelligent Drive system, designed to transform standard bikes into e-bikes. We have since gone on to design and develop our own sleek, lightweight town bikes as well as offer our electric conversion system for a range of classic bikes.
