Marketing & Publishing Executive - Fareham, United Kingdom - International Institute of Marine Surveying

Description

The International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS) is an independent, not-for-profit, non-political membership organisation dedicated to promoting the professionalism, recognition and training of marine surveyors worldwide.

Having celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2016, IIMS is the leading professional body for surveyors globally.

With around 1,000 members in over 90 countries, the Institute is headquartered in attractive historic Grade II listed accommodation, which it owns, in Portchester midway between Portsmouth and Southampton.

The Institute employs eleven people.

Day to day management of the organisation is through the CEO, supported by the head office secretariat and a management board made up of fifteen international members.

The IIMS defines marine surveying as: 'The service provided to maritime and transport organisations in general and the production of guidance reports for all other bodies connected with maritime operations or trade'.

Revenues are derived from varied sources, including membership fees (about one quarter), distance learning education programmes (about one third) with the remaining income made up of vessel licencing fees, face to face and online training seminars and publishing activities.

The Marine Surveying Academy (MSA) is a trading division of the Institute and provides third-party accreditation and training to other organisations in the superyacht coatings and offshore marine sectors.

IIMS has undergone sustained growth over the past few years, is profitable, and this is set to continue. The business has embraced new technologies in all areas to simplify various activities, including developing several unique apps.

IIMS has created a new opportunity for a Marketing & Publishing Executive, based at the offices in Portchester, who will support the ongoing work of the CEO and report to him.

The position can be either part time (minimum 25 hours per week) or full time (35 hours per week). The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate achievements in marketing and/or publishing based roles, ideally both.

The business has a number of products and services to offer, all of which require individual marketing plans to be further developed and delivered.

IIMS publishes high quality monthly digital newsletters, which are widely read throughout the marine industry. The quarterly award-nominated Report Magazine, extending to 132 pages plus, is the jewel in the crown.
