Digital Content Marketing Apprentice

Main description

Naimuri have been around for about seven-years and grown from a little-known tech start-up to creating their very own community (with about 130 people) at the heart of the tech and digital epicentre of the UK - Manchester.

We are part of the QinetiQ family (acquired in 2020), but continue to shape our own individual brand identity and culture as we work in collaboration to grow.

The work we do has a positive impact on life as we know it and our mission is to make the ‘UK a safer and better place to be’. This is what makes us pretty unique.

Our super talented people have a genuine desire and knowledge of how to enable positive change for our clients (from government to law enforcement) through building data intelligence capabilities to solve challenging problems and to revolutionise the way they work.

We are a tech business with a real purpose and a whole sense of pride in what can and has been achieved through the innovative use of data and technology.

We work in partnership with academic institutions to link state-of-the-art research occurring in academia with government data challenges.

Creating an open culture where our people are empowered to do what they feel is the right thing, is key to all that we do.

Our business is focused on 4 cornerstones, which shape and underpin the way in which we go about work and treat each other. These are:

Wellbeing, Empowerment, Perpetual Edge and Delivery.

EVERYONE is made to feel like they are truly welcome, safe and have a voice and free to be themselves in Naimuri.  As we grow we are continually looking at ways to enhance how we share, operate, communicate and learn as an ever-evolving inclusive, bias free and open culture.

Our internal power groups help us to focus on our environmental, philanthropic, ethical, and economic responsibilities and create initiatives to deliver change; however subtle that may be.

We care about the world we live in, whether that is here in Manchester helping to nurture the next generation of talent or giving back to our local communities or looking further afield and making a positive contribution to the world as we know it.

We’re now looking for a Digital Content Producer with a passion for all things technology and who loves creating engaging content and is bursting with ideas and who shares our vision to help make a real difference. Is this you?
